Nathalia Potter: Thanks, I fixed it.

Gloriousgentry: Of course I didn't give up. I just have other things that I have to do too and I had a bad case of writers block for this chapter. The single bad review I got could have contributed to the block but I doubt it.

Here's what the review said (complete with all the original spelling errors and bad grammer): you just scraped your story in making them gays at 13 years old... why can't someone make something that at least looks like it could be aparented with the true books of harry potter, it's just so stupid... Being gay at 13 years old, guys r slower than girls, at 13 they start thinkin about all that, and to figure out he s gay , like that, in 2 sec, just unrealistic, and just the fact to make him gay is so unrealistic, I mean, if you want him to look cool, then he can't be gay. Girly Harry , lol

And thank you to the rest of you wonderful people who have taken the brief amount of time it takes to review and have done so. Usually if you leave a signed review I'll go see what you've written and read it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor will I ever :P

Chapter 14

"Drac, we should go try to ride it." Harry said excitedly.

Draco rolled his eyes, "It's after curfew." He complained.

"So? When has that ever stopped us? I want to go ride it. Come on Draco." Harry whined causing Draco to roll his eyes.

"Alright, alright, let's go." Draco said with a sigh, pulling out Harry's invisibility cloak.

Together the two of them slipped out, making their way to where the Hippogriff was being kept. When they arrived and went to bow to the majestic creature it wasn't paying attention. Instead it was looking at something over by a large tree. Their gaze immediately traveled towards it. The silhouette of a large dog dragging what appeared to be a boy under the tree. Quickly they made their way towards the struggling boy. By the time they arrived he had disappeared beneath the tree.

"Where did they go?" Harry asked, looking around.

Draco pointed to a hole beneath the tree, "Come on." He said, pulling him into the hole.

It was a tunnel. The two of them quickly made their way thought the long tunnel, "Where are we?" Harry hissed as they come out.

"I think we're right outside of Hogsmeade, in the Shrieking Shack." Draco replied softly.

Harry scowled, wand at the ready. Carefully he walked forward, making his way towards a voice. It was ranting angrily, "It's your entire fault." He raved, sounding quite mad, "If it wasn't for you I would have never gone to Azkaban."

Harry and Draco's eyes grew wide, it was Sirius Black. Quietly the two of them snuck closer, wanting to see who was there. The first person they saw was Black, holding a large rat by the tail. The second one they saw was Weasley, cowering in a corner, his leg was bleeding. As the two boys moved a little closer Black whirled, looking directly at them. His eyes softened a bit at seeing Harry but he didn't relinquish his hold on the rat.

"Harry." He said softly, looking at him a little sadly.

"What do you want Black? Why have you come?" He asked, looking at him intently.

"To get my revenge! It's because of this rat that my life was taken from me!" He waved his arms, the rat squeaking as it was swung around, "It's because of this rat that your parents are dead!"

Harry scowled, "Oh and why is that?"

"He was your parents Secret Keeper! He was the one that betrayed them to You-Know-Who!" He said, swinging the rat around again, "He was the one that killed all those people and made it look like I had killed them and himself!"

"I think you've gone a bit daft." Draco said, watching him swing the rat around.

"What are you doing with a Malfoy, Harry? What are you doing with him?"

Harry narrowed hid eyes, "He's my friend and I'll thank you not to talk bad about him. Now why do you have that rat? How is it responsible?"

"Pettigrew! Show yourself!" Black said, putting the rat down and pointing a wand at it.

Immediately the rat changed form into a human, a rat like human no less. Weasley looked surprised and whimpered softly. The newly revealed man immediately went to Harry, dropping to his knees.

"You wouldn't let him kill me. I-I knew your parents."

Harry's eyes narrowed as the man begged, "What makes you think that I'm going to stop anyone from getting their revenge. I think though, before I allow that, I'm going to take you in, prove Black's innocence." He sneered; using one of the spells Lucius had taught him to bind the man, "Let's go." He said, taking him out of the shack at wandpoint.

Draco smiled and went with him, making sure Black came as well. They made their way in silence back to the castle. It didn't take long for them to arrive. Carefully, quietly, they made their way to Dumbledore's office. As soon as they arrived Dumbledore came striding down the hall towards them.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy…" He started then looked at the others with them. Black was carrying Weasley because of the wound in his leg, "What is going on here?" He asked, looking at the motley crew.

Black was about to speak when Harry held up a hand, "Draco and I were out for a walk when we saw something going on." He began, "We went to investigate and discovered Mr. Black, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Pettigrew. Apparently, Mr. Pettigrew is an Animagus and it was he who was responsible for the deaths that Mr. Black is accused of."

Dumbledore blinked then smiled, his eyes twinkling, "Let's get this taken care of then, we can't have an innocent man in prison."

Harry smiled slightly, pushing Pettigrew towards Dumbledore, "He cannot transform right now so he cannot escape. Should anything prevent Mr. Black's absolution in this crime I will not be pleased."

Draco looked over at Harry, he was speaking like an adult, remaining calm, it looked like Lucius' lessons had done him some good. Dumbledore looked a little shocked at his demeanor as well. It wasn't long before they had a confession from Pettigrew and Black was free. The gaunt, ebony haired man looked relieved, his eyes appeared perfectly sane, now all that was left was to get him back into good health. They had a late supper in Dumbledore's office after Black was cleared.

"Harry, would…would you like to come live with me? I-I can understand if you'd like to stay with your Aunt and Uncle." Black said as they ate.

Harry took a bite of food before speaking, "I haven't been staying with them since I've started school, I've been staying with the Malfoys. I'm sure that you could come stay as well until you're better." He said with a smile.

Draco smiled as well, "It would be a great pleasure to have you come stay with us." He was taking his father's lessons to heart as well.

Black looked a little nervous at the thought of seeing one of his relatives and Lucius didn't appeal to him much. He smiled a bit, "Alright. I think I would like that." At those words the twinkle momentarily left Dumbledore's eyes, he was worried about what would happen, worried about what was already happening to Harry.

It was obvious the he didn't want Harry to find out the truth about his lineage. He knew that Sirius and Lucius knew the truth and that eventually one of them might tell him. Of course he didn't know that Lucius already had. He had hoped that Harry would stay with Sirius, that perhaps he could draw Harry away from the ideas that he was sure Lucius had implanted in him. It had been obvious since the beginning that Harry had begun to follow the pureblooded views on Muggle-borns. It worried him; the 'light' side needed Harry if Voldemort ever came back.

After they had finished eating Draco and Harry returned to their room and Sirius was given a room to stay in until the end of the school year, which wasn't far off. The last few weeks of school passed quickly. Draco had sent a letter to his father, asking about Sirius and he had agreed to let him stay.

I know it's a little short but that's where I left it off. Now click that little button and review, doesn't take long.
