Post 73:
Jade paced around her kitchen. She had dug up Sirius Black's old trial files... as it turned out, there was no trial. She had been up all night reading and re-reading the accounts of the muggle witnesses... Of what they gave Mrs. Petigrew in a matchbox.
There was something missing in this investigation, but she couldn't figure out what.
Official Notes:
Black was found a scene of the crime laughing.
Petigrew's body completely missing- robes left on ground in tact... blood on sleeve... finger found on ground near by...
A few drops of Petigrew's blood near drain.
Black made no attempt to run away from officials.
Seemed depressed but confident of him being released soon.
Now that didn't make sense. Why would Sirius, an Auror, be confident of being released if he knew that the penalty for murder was life in Azkaban?
A few drops of Petigrew's blood found near drain...
Jade glanced back of a map showing were Petigrew's clothes were, where Sirius was standing... where the muggles were... the drain was a good three feet away. There was no blood scattered anywhere else.
Jade gasped out loud and smacked her head.
"The git!" Jade stood up and ran to her desk drawer. She pulled out three pieces of parchment and set on the desk beside one another.
Then she pulled out three acid green Quills.
On the first parchment she wrote: Dear Remus, the second one she addressed to Dumbledore, and the third to The Minister Of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.
She set the acid Quills up at each parchment and began to speak, each Quill scratching furiously exactly what she said.
"It has come to my attention, that Sirius Black, a man who was imprisoned in Azkaban for over eleven years, may very well be innocent. I was reviewing his case, in my spare time, to find that he had no trial. While trials are long and often a waste of time, there is a law saying that anyone who is to serve time in Azkaban for more than one year must be given a trial. I am shocked and disgusted that this law was not followed!
"I have enclosed a copy of Official Notes and Maps of this case in the letter as well, with certain points highlighted for significance. Peter Petigrew was an illegal animagi, so it is very possible that he faked his own death and crawled away through the drain that is three feet away from where his robes were... the same drain where small drops of blood were found by. His Animiguis form is a rat. I have seen him transform only once, many years ago... we went to school together and I was one of his friends.
"Please take a closer look at things! And when Sirius Black is caught, do not give him the Dementor's kiss, give his Vertessium, and lots of it. Only then can we be sure of the truth."
Jade signed each letters herself and OWLed them immediately, a copy of Sirius' file in each one.
