Disclaimer: See first chapter
A/N: This is the chapter you've all been waiting for, yep, Sirius meets Harry, well actually it's Remus but Sirius is there and cuz I'm evil it's a cliff-hanger. There's a fair bit of swearing in this chapter, mostly from Harry being the lovely young man that he is.

Chapter 4
After explaining the situation to Fudge and the aurors, Dumbledore asked what would happen to Sirius and Peter.
"Well" Fudge began, "It's obvious that one of them is lying, so indeed a trial will be had"
Most of them just nodded but Dumbledore persisted "When will this be?"
Clearing his throat Fudge answered "As soon as possible of course! Until then I think it's suitable to put them both in Azkaban until the trial"
"NO!" Peter exclaimed "DON'T SEND ME THERE! I WON'T SURVIVE!"
"If Sirius can survive for thirteen years I'm sure a few days won't kill you" Remus said
"Yes, well I think you should come to Mr. Lupin. After all if Sirius is proven guilty you will be off to Azkaban too, for assistance to a criminal" Fudge said
"Remus will not be going to Azkaban with them but indeed if Sirius is proven guilty you will accept the consequences Remus?" Dumbledore said
Remus nodded and Sirius whispered "You'd do that for me?"
"You're innocent, I won't be going to Azkaban" Remus whispered back.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and Remus and Sirius stopped talking.
"Since Sirius has been caught, the Dementors will be removed from Hogwarts" He said to Fudge.
"Yes of course" Fudge nodded and whispered something to one of the aurors. They nodded and disappeared out the door.
"He's getting a few Dementors to escort Mr. Black and Mr. Pettigrew" Fudge explained to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore nodded and Ron who was still in the room decided to speak.
"May I go Professor?"
It seemed most people in the room had forgotten Ron was standing there.
"Yes Mr. Weasley, please don't say anything to your fellow students until this is cleared up" Dumbledore said
Ron nodded and quickly went out the door. Soon the auror returned with two Dementors. Sirius felt the numbing coldness that he had endured for thirteen years come over him.

"I'm heading back to the place" Blondie said as Bolt and Zazza were about to light up the cigarettes.
"Fine then, see you later" Zazza said.
Blondie gave them a dirty look and walked out on the street. Zazza and Bolt were left in the small alley to smoke.
"These cost a lot you know, almost half of what we made when we sold the booze to the snobs" Zazza said
Bolt put the lighter to the cigarette in his mouth and gave it a flick and lit it. Inhaling he began to cough.
"You never smoked before huh?" Zazza said
Bolt shook his head "And you have?"
"A few times, it's something that's just fun to annoy people. Shock value you know" Zazza said
"Just to piss off all them adults out there right?" Bolt said
"Absolutely" Zazza smiled, taking another puff of his smoke.
"Here's to pissing off the world"

He was in there for two days. But it felt like two years. And now he was out again and standing in the courtroom, waiting for the verdict. The evidence had all been heard and Sirius knew he had the stronger case. Remus was there, he'd testified for him, confirming that Sirius and Peter were Animagus'. Dumbledore was there, along with the Weasley's. Ron had to testify about Peter being his rat.
"Would the jury please raise their hands if they think Sirius Black is innocent" the booming voice of Madam Bones said
Sirius held his breath as he looked at the jury; the hands of most of them were raised. He began to count them but before he could finish Madam Bones voice announced
"I find that Sirius Black is cleared of all charges and that Peter Pettigrew is guilty of all crimes"
Sirius's face broke into a smile as he turned to Remus in the crowd and he smiled back.
"NO!" Peter was screaming. "NO! NO! NO! IT WAS HIM! HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE HIM?"
"I hereby sentence Peter Pettigrew to life in Azkaban"
The Dementors came in and Peter continued to shriek "NO! DON'T SEND ME WITH THEM! PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!"
The Dementors took the shrieking Peter away and the crowd was watching Sirius. He ran over to Remus and threw his arms around him.
"I'm free, I never have to see another Dementor again, I can get Harry and-- -"His mood suddenly dropped. Harry was dead. He let go of Remus and he just stood there numbly.
"Come on. Let's have a nice night out at the leaky caldron" Remus said
Sirius just nodded. He could feel a lump forming in his throat. As Remus and Sirius walked out of the court room they had a reporter in their face.
"Hello Mr. Black. I'm Rita Skeeter, a reporter from the daily prophet" She held out her hand.
Sirius shook it, trying to avoid being scratched by her two inch crimson nails.
"Is it alright if I ask you a few questions?" She said
Sirius nodded. He knew that reporters didn't take no very well.
She quickly got her quill out and a piece of parchment. She sucked on the end of the quill and began asking.
"So Mr. Black, what are you going to do now that you are free?"
"I'm going to get drunk as hell after that I am not sure" Sirius saw Remus trying to stifle a laugh.
"Interesting. So are you an alcoholic?" Sirius noticed that her quill was writing on its own.
"No, I just think a celebration would be good" Sirius answered
'Is it true that you are Harry Potter's godfather?"
Sirius felt the lump in his throat return. "Yes"
"How did his death affect you? I'm sure that you know why he died because his aunt and uncle abandoned him—"
"I think that's enough questions" Remus said suddenly.
"But I haven't finished---"
"Sirius has been through a lot, maybe you can interview him later" Remus said, leading Sirius away.
"Thank you" Sirius whispered to Remus as they quickly walk away from Rita.

Bolt found himself running again with a casket of wine in his arms. Zazza, Blondie and him were running from the owner of the bottle shop who'd seen them stealing the drinks. He would stop soon, they always did but this meant they had to find somewhere else to steal there drinks from. And sure enough after being chased half way down the block, he stopped shouting curses at them. They continued to run until they reached the place. They never called it home. It was a run down building in the doggy part of London. Crawling through the hole in the wire fence that surrounded the place, Bolt, Zazza and Blondie went into the place to meet up with two other guys that lived there.
"Hey wassup guys? We're heading out on the town tonight, wanna come?" One of the guys, Jock, asked
"Sure I'm in, wanna come Bolt, it'll be a fun" Zazza said
"What the hell" Bolt answered
"We're going to go to this pub we know we can get into called The Leaky Caldron, real weird place, found it last week when we were out and about you know. It's very small we didn't notice it until some guy accidentally pushed us in the door" The other boy, Lucky explained
"Sounds like a blast huh Bolt?" Zazza said.
A blast. Only it blasted Bolt's life to pieces.

As Sirius and Remus sat in a booth at The Leaky Caldron, siping firewhisky, they tried not to notice the stares they were getting from the other customers.
"Sirius I know you're upset about Harry but once you get your life back on track you'll be fine" Remus comforted
Sirius just nodded and continued to sip his firewhisky.

"This is it, The Leaky Caldron" Jock pointed to it.
Bolt looked at it, if Jock hadn't of pointed it out he would of never had noticed it. It was wedged between a bookshop and record store.
"Told ya it was hard to notice" Jock said with a smile.
Bolt, Zazza, Jock and Lucky made there way into the pub and went to sit in an empty booth.
"They serve this awesome drink called firewhisky, strongest shit I've ever tasted" Jock said
"And they ask for really weird money. Last time though we drank someone else's drink. We're going to do a run if that's alright with you lot" Lucky said
"No prob, running is what we do best, eh Bolt" Zazza said
"Hey the bar guy is coming" Bolt said
"What can I get you boys?" the toothless man asked
"Four firewhisky's thanks" Jock said
The man looked a bit skeptical at this but said nothing as he went to get the drinks.
"Cool, no asking for ID or anything" Zazza said
"Here you are boys, four firewhisky's, that's two galleons" He said, placing for bottles on the table.
"Um.....what food do you have?" Lucky asked
"Whatever you want' he said
"Well can we have a..........plate of chips" Lucky said
He nodded and turned back to the bar.
"Come on. Let's go!" Lucky hissed.
The four of them quickly got out of the booth and made for the door. Bolt didn't notice the man coming out of the booth a few meters away from him until it was to late. He ran straight into him.
"HEY!" The bar tender yelled.
"RUN!" Zazza screamed.
Bolt tried to get away but the man he had bumped into had a firm grip on him.
"Get off me you stupid fucker" Bolt growled as he tried to get away from him.
"Watch your mouth" the man snapped.
Bolt looked up into the face of his capture and he fully saw Bolts face. His eyes widened behind the graying hair falling in his eyes.
"Harry?" he gasped.

Oh yes. Evil cliffy. But the update will be very soon because I'm on holidays and I have nothing better to do than write. A few people might ask how Jock and Lucky, (lovely names) found The Leaky Caldron if they are muggles. I think that muggles can see it because how did Hermione's parents get in? Anyway that's my belief but if you wish to debate me on it tell me in your review.
