Azkaban the worst wizard prison in the world held the savior of the world. Harry James Potter. The-Boy-Who-Lived. The defeater of Voldemort. Accused and convicted of killing thirty innocent people.
Kingsley Shacklebot stumbled out of the Floo network into Dumbledore's office looking disheveled and distraught. He picked himself off of the floor and started to call out to in hopes of finding Dumbledore in his sleeping chambers above his office. "Dumbledore! Dumbledore! Where are you!" Dumbledore walked down the stairs to find the Minister of Magic franticly asking the portraits if they knew where he was. "Minister Shacklebot what is the matter? It is nearly four in the morning"
Kingsley having spotted Dumbledore waited until he had sat in his usual chair behind his desk before replying. "Oh Dumbledore we've made a mistake! A grave mistake!" Dumbledore's twinkle that usually resided in his eyes all but lost their brightness. "Mistake what mistake?"
"Potter! He's innocent. We've caught McNair who confessed that it was him under a polyjuice potion that was invented by You-know-who to last longer than an hour. We have an innocent man in Azkaban who has suffered for five years"
Cell number 9967 held a crumpled figure in tattered robes. The person was huddled in a corner of the room clutching his cloak tighter to his figure in hopes of gaining more warmth from it. He was none other than Harry Potter.
His friends abandoned him as soon as they heard that he was being brought to trail for the deaths of thirty people both muggle and wizard alike. They hadn't stood up for him; they sneered at him when he was brought before the Wizemagot. They even testified against him claiming he had a short temper and was always losing it.
He had no friends nor family now. He was a criminal a convict. Though he pleaded his innocence the Wizemagot who was mostly hand chose by ex-Minister Fudge threw him to the dementors of Azkaban for the rest of his life his innocence be damned. Dumbledore, Lupin, the Weasleys all of the people close to him had turned their backs on him.
Dumbledore leaped from his desk and sprinted to the end of his office his hand had just closed around the door handle when Kingsley stopped him with a well aimed question "What are you doing?" Dumbledore yelled back over his shoulders as he descended the steps leading to the Hogwart's corridor "Sending owls to Lupin and the gang they need to be informed. Get his release papers ready I want Harry out of there immediately."
Two Auros walked briskly ignoring the calls from various prisoners who proclaimed their innocence most of whom had long gone crazy and would do anything to get out of Azkaban.
The Aurors stopped outside cell number 9967. The lead Auror opened the door to the cell, while the other Auror eyed the bundle of robes in the corner, and asked, "Are you Harry James Potter?"
Harrry blinked a few times before he was accoustemed to the light of the outside.
"Who are you and why do you want to know who I am."
The lead Auror smiled, and said, "New evidence has come to light.", "By the order of the Ministry of Magic you have been freed and have received a full pardon."
The second Auror stepped forward and helped Harry to his feet, "Follow me and we will get your papers together."
Harry nodded still slightly shaken from the revelation that someone besides himself believed in his innocence.
