READ THIS PLEASE!!! Ok for all who have reviewed wondering about Sirius. HE DID NOT DIE!! I love Sirius so he didn't die, everything else in Ootp happened. I'll let you know if anything else has changed from Ootp in the future but I don't think I'll change anything else.

The next morning found Harry eating at the breakfast table with the rest of the order in permanent residence at twelve Grimmald Place. Ron was inhaling his sausage and eggs while Hermione looked on in horror. Remus and Sirius were making bets on when he would choke. Harry took a seat next to Ginny and gave her a small conspiratorial smile while he piled some fried tomatoes on his plate. Snape arrived looking much better a few moments later, he was still limping but no longer needed a walking stick to lean on. He sat at the end of the table and picked up the Daily Prophet while sipping his coffee.

"Shit!" Snape swore.

Having never heard the man swear in their entire lives the residents were surprised to say the least.

"What's the matter Severus?" asked Remus.

Snape simply handed Remus the Newspaper in response and put his head in his hands. On the front page was a picture of nine death eaters all lined up, including Peter Pettigrew. The headline read 'Pettigrew captured, Black innocent'.

"What's so bad about that? It's clearing Sirius' name," asked Remus.

"Read it Lupin."

Pettigrew Captured, Black Innocent

On a chilly night in mid July a group of twelve death eaters attacked an unsuspecting muggle orphanage. Out of the dozen three made it back to he-who-must-not-be-named's ranks. Among the captured is Peter Pettigrew. Under the influence of Veritiserum the ministry has discovered Pettigrew's betrayal of the Potter family, leaving The-Boy-Who-Lived orphaned, and the framing of his long time friend Sirius Black. Mr. Black spent twelve years in Azkaban as a result of Peter Pettigrew's plot and will be given a full pardon if he is found. You may remember his ingenious escape from Azkaban three years ago, and the ministry has yet to be able to contact him. He will receive all of his familial assets taken from him and ample compensation for his undeserved time in prison.

"Severus I don't see what's so bad about this," said Remus after reading it aloud.

"He's probably mad because I'm getting pardoned and compensated," grumbled Sirius.

"Read on Lupin."

Perhaps the most thrilling aspect of this story is the means in which the death eater's were overcome. It appears that muggleborn witch Rinoa Edwards was a resident of the orphanage and on holiday before her seventh year of Hogwarts. Through means unknown to everyone but the girl herself she bested nine grown men. Rinoa, the new head girl of Hogwarts, watched as the death eaters massacred her friends and the only people she could consider family. The Daily Prophet caught up with one of the aurors present at the attack, Mr. Patrick Deeter, "Well, we're not sure how she did it but we thank her for her sacrifice,"Mr. Deeter spoke very highly of her. A member of the Council of Hogwarts Mr. Lucius Malfoy was able to comment on what will become of Ms. Edwards now that she has no home. "For the moment she is the property of Hogwarts, but I am in negotiation to receive custody of her for the remainder of the summer. It really would be a shame for her to have to stay at school all summer long, and I have a son that attends Hogwarts with her." Perhaps the best statement came from Rinoa herself, "I am very sad for what has become of the only family that I have ever known. I will always remember them," she said to me with tears in her eyes, "but I must move on and be the brave Gryfindor I was meant to be." We at the Daily Prophet offer our condolences to Rinoa and wish her will for the coming school yea.

"Has Rhin seen this yet?" asked Hermione quietly when Remus finished reading it aloud. The question was soon answered when a very loud voice was heard raging down the stairs.

"WHO THE FUCK DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!?!" was heard before Rinoa appeared wide eyed and furious in the kitchen doorway.

"Good morning to you too Rinoa," Snape said sarcastically.

"BLOODY HELL! WHAT PART OF 'NO COMMENT' DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND?!? 'WITH TEARS IN HER EYES' MY ASS! THIS IS LUDECURIS! SHE SOULD BE TAKEN OUT INTO THE STREET AND SHOT! AND MALFOY! ARRRRRHHHHHH! WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S FOOLING? 'I HAVE A SON THAT GOES TO SCHOOL WITH HER' FUCK THAT! HE JUST WANTS OT GET ME THERE AND FRIKKIN' KILL ME!!!!! THE EVIL BASTARD AND HIS SON IS EVEN WORSE. HE PROBOBLY WANTS TO BREED US THE SICK FUCK!"

"At the last comment Snape visibly paled and the others decided to end her rant before she popped a vessel or something.

"Ummmmmm Rhin?" ventured Hermione apprehensively, knowing what kind of temper the girl had. "Don't worry about Lucius Malfoy I'm sure Albus won't let him get custody of you."

The realization that the situation could very well be a possibility hit

Rinoa like a ton of bricks and all emotion fell form her face. After five minutes of silence Hermione tried again.

"Rhin?"

"The bastard killed Melissa and now he wants custody of me?" she said quietly.

"He won't get it," Snape said firmly. "I'm going to floo the headmaster and see what's going on, I'll be right back."
