When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
"Don't move or we'll hurt you!" cried Barty Crouch
Why did they have to show up now? Sirius knew that he would be in a lot of trouble. He would probably be taken to the ministry and sent straight to Azkaban. He didn't want that, Harry needed him.
Crouch ran over to Sirius and held his arms behind his back. Dumbledore grabbed the child off Sirius' lap and held him tightly in his arms to protect him from the criminal.
"Sirius Black, you are being arrested for death eater activity and the murder of Lily and James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and twelve unidentified muggles. Fudge sent us to get you. You will be taken to Azkaban shortly" said Crouch.
Harry struggled to get out of Dumbledore's grasp but the effects of the cruciatus curse were overwhelming him. But he didn't stop, he couldn't let them take away his godfather. If Sirius was taken away he wouldn't have anybody left to take care of him and love him. He needed him.
"No, don't hurt him, he innocent! He never committed those crimes! Please don't take him away!" Harry yelled with a strength he had never noticed before.
"Harry, your godfather is a very guilty man" Dumbledore said calmly "He is the reason you have no parents. He sold them off to Voldemort to save his own life."
"No he's not! That idiot Pettigrew did it! He framed him! He's the criminal, not Sirius! Please believe me!"
"I don't know what that monster told you, but I bet it's all lies. Your godfather is a criminal, one of the best know criminals in all of Europe"
"No! Let him go!"
"Shh Harry, calm down"
Harry stopped his yelling and stared at Sirius and Crouch. Sirius was struggling, trying desperately to get away from Crouch's strong grasp. Sirius bit Crouch's hand and started to run, ready to grab Harry from Dumbledore. But he was too slow. Crouch suddenly grabbed something from his robe pocket. It was a whip!
"Please don't use that on him! He'll get hurt!" Harry yelled
Crouch brought down the whip on Sirius' back, leaving a deep gash, which started to bleed almost immediately. Sirius collapsed to the ground, whimpering in pain.
"Nooo!" Harry yelled "You're hurting him!"
Crouch brought down the whip once more. This time Sirius went limp, falling into the puddle of his own blood. He couldn't take it anymore, the pain was just too much for him to handle.
"Nooo! You killed him! You killed him!" Harry screamed.
"Don't worry child" said Dumbledore. "He's just unconscious. We'll take him to Azkaban as soon as he wakes up"
Crouch brought down the whip again. Sirius showed no sign of noticing anything.
"Bartemius stop!" commanded Dumbledore "You're traumatizing the poor child. Let's just take Black back to the Ministry"
Crouch carelessly lifted Sirius by his arms and began dragging him down a path, obviously leading to the ministry. Dumbledore shifted Harry's weight and followed. When they finally got to the Ministry they were sent to a small room on the top floor of the building. Inside the room were Remus and Romulus.
Remus was sitting in a hard uncomfortable chair with his head in his hands. He knew that Sirius was going to get into a lot of trouble. He would be sent to Azkaban and Harry would be left alone without a family.
Sitting in the chair next to him was Romulus, he was frightened. And across the room, sitting at a large chair at a high table was the new Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Fudge smiled evilly as he saw the unconscious form of Sirius being dragged into the room.
Sirius was carelessly thrown into a large chair and was chained onto it. Harry was placed into the seat next to Remus. Dumbledore and Crouch each took a seat on either sides of Fudge.
"Somebody wake Black up!" growled Fudge.
Dumbledore got up from his seat and made his way up to Sirius. He placed his wand to his forehead.
"Enervate" he bellowed.
Dumbledore returned to his seat.
Sirius' eyes flicked open, immediately realizing where he was. The Ministry. He was so screwed! His eyes drifted off to where Harry was sitting. Harry was still all beaten up and bloody and was having problems with staying straight in his seat. Remus placed an arm around him to keep him from falling.
"So Black, ready for Azkaban?" said Fudge.
Sirius turned his glance on Fudge.
"You're pretty calm now aren't you?" said Fudge, slightly scared.
"I'm calm because I am innocent"
Fudge laughed bitterly.
"Yeah right, and I invented the light bulb. You know damn well that you committed those crimes, you dirty bastard! And I'm telling you, you're gonna pay!"
"I'm innocent! I would rather die that betray my best friend!"
"Shut up with all your rubbish! You're going to Azkaban!"
"Don't I at least get a trial?"
"I thought about that but then I talked to Crouch and we decided against it. Now, say goodbye to your friends"
Sirius was unchained from his chair by Crouch and taken over to Harry, Remus and Romulus. His three friends watched him with tears in their eyes as he was taken over to them.
First Sirius went over to Remus. Remus immediately pulled him into a painful hug. Sirius hugged back with just as much strength.
"Oh Sirius, I'm gonna miss you so much! I can't believe they are making you do this, it's not fait. You don't deserve any of this" said Remus.
"I know, but believe me, I'll be okay"
He knew he wouldn't.
"Goodbye"
Once he was done with Remus he went over to Harry. Harry desperately threw himself into Sirius' arms and held onto to him like the world was coming to an end. He buried his head into Sirius' shoulder and began to cry loudly. His godfather was being taken away, why shouldn't he?
"Please don't go! I need you! You're gonna get all sick and dirty and then you're gonna go insane and I'll never have the same goddaddy again! I don't want that to happen, I want you t stay here with me so that we can stay a family. Please don't go!"
"I'm so sorry Harry" Sirius whispered into Harry's hair "But don't worry, I'll be okay. I'll get out of there someday and I'll come back to you."
"Promise?"
"I promise"
Harry gave Sirius a huge sloppy kiss on the cheek (A/N: How cute!). Sirius placed a kiss on Harry's forehead and placed him into Remus' arms.
"Take care of him for me Remus"
Sirius watched them desperately as handcuffs were placed around his wrists and he was pulled away.
"I love you Sirius!" Harry yelled
"I lone you to Harry! I'll see you again someday, I promise!"
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
