After Hermione picked out her boxes for her new wand Ollivander informed them it will take him an hour to craft the wand and if they have any other shopping to do to go about it.

Upon returning they noticed Daphne Greengrass, her sister, and her best friend Tracey Davis. Harry, not paying attention, tripped and bumped into the three girls.

"I'm sorry," Harry cried out, "I tripped."

"It's quite alright, I suppose," Daphne said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. She had felt something shift in her at the other wizard's touch, not yet noticing who it was.

"Harry?" Hermione asked.

"I'm alright, Hermione," Harry answered.

"Ah, here you are, Black Hawthorn and dragon heartstring," Ollivander said, handing Daphne her wand.

Upon receiving it Daphne frowned, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander, but it doesn't seem to be matched to me anymore."

"How peculiar, Miss Davis?"

Tracey took out her wand and also frowned, "The same."

"Well, I just made Mr. Potter and his two friends custom wands, perhaps your destinies are intertwined," Ollivander said mysteriously.

"Miss Granger, your wand: Honey-Locust wood, flexible, 10 ¾ inches, black rutilated quartz with a little more black than white, and with a most unique core for this combination: a sliver of horn from a Horned Serpent."

When Hermione took her wand in her hand to examine it the first thing she noticed was the delicately carved handle in the shape of a closed flower, not unlike that of a slightly elongated lotus flower. Next, she noticed something curling around her wand not unlike a snake would while climbing a tree, upon closer inspection she noticed it was indeed a snake, one that she recognized as the British Adder. The black rutilated quartz made up the eyes of the snake. Along the body of the snake Hermione counted three different runes with a fourth one located on one of the flower petals that made the handle.

"Wow! Mr. Ollivander, its beautiful!" Hermione gushed, "Thank you!"

"You're quite welcome my dear," Ollivander responded with a smile on his face before turning to the other children in the store, "Now then back to you two I will see if other wands might match you now or if I need to make you new ones from scratch making you the 6th and 7th first years to receive custom wands if that is the case."

"Wait did you say that we just bumped into Harry Potter?" Tracey asked just now realizing who they had walked into as the two young witches were walking into the store.

"Why yes I did Miss Davis," came the reply from the older wizard, "now about your wands before we get distracted things that don't revolve around getting you two young witches wands that work for you."

Both of them nodded their assent and started the process of finding new wands that were compatible with them again. Off in a corner of the wand shop the other three kids were having a quiet conversation between them.

"I think we should invite them to walk with us while we do the rest of our shopping," Hermione suggested.

Harry and Luna looked at each other before looking back at Hermione and giving her an affirmative nod. So, the trio waited to talk to Tracey and Daphne about joining them and they got their chance to do so when Ollivander went to retrieve the boxes that contain the materials needed to craft new wands. Harry took it upon himself to approach the duo.

"Hey if you two have more school shopping to do would you like to join us?"

"Sure!" Tracey replied with zero hesitation.

Daphne on the other hand seemed contemplative and took her time to think about her answer. She took so long that when she went to open her mouth to answer the question Mr. Ollivander came out of the back of his store levitating at least 30 boxes of different shapes and colors.

"So, which one of you would like to go first?" Ollivander asked the two young witches while staring unblinkingly in their direction.

With a look both girls decided that Tracey should go first since she had already answered the question posed to them by Harry. With a slightly nervous smile Tracey stepped closer to Mr. Ollivander who then proceeded to explain what she needed to do. While Tracey was picking out her boxes for her wand, Daphne moved closer to Harry to respond to him.

"While I appreciate the invitation Scion Potter, I can't help but feel as though there is a catch. So, what is it that you really want?"

Before Harry could even open his mouth to answer Luna started talking, "Why Scion Greengrass the answer to that is quite simple. We simply would like to get to know you better seeing as how you and Tracey are destined to join the Potter Coven with you being one of the four leaders."

Both Harry and Daphne had their mouths wide open, Harry because he didn't expect Luna to just blatantly to tell the truth and Daphne because she hadn't expected such a candid response from Luna, who for as long as she has known her, has always spoke in a riddle like manner.

"Luna!" Hermione whispered loudly, "We aren't supposed to talk about that till we have become friends with all of the future members!"

Luna turned to look at Hermione with a face that said she knew what she was doing, "Hermione, while I understand what you are saying for some people its best to not beat around the Stactus plant."

Before Hermione had the chance to answer though Mr. Ollivander called Daphne over to choose her boxes since Tracey had just finished. Tracey had picked out a square box that was the color emerald, a hexagon box that was colored Autumn yellow the likes of which the leaves change to and the octagonal box was the deepest blue that was almost black.

"I will give you my answer when I'm done with Mr. Ollivander, I appreciate the honesty though. Thank you, Scion Lovegood," Daphne provided before walking over to the remaining boxes next to the older wizard.

"So, what do you guys need to get still?" Tracey asked before realizing that she forgot to introduce herself, "Ah! I almost forgot to introduce myself I'm Tracey Davis nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you as well Tracey, I'm Harry Potter, to my right is Hermione Granger and to my left is Luna Lovegood. As far as what we need left to get well, I've already got all of my school supplies and this is just the first stop for the girls so they still to get the rest of their supplies," Harry responded in kind while the two girls nodded along with him as he spoke and introduced them to Tracey.

As Daphne was picking out her wand's materials the other four first years were talking quietly amongst themselves, the topic of conversation is about their expectations for Hogwarts and of course how their classes would go.


Meanwhile somewhere in the middle of the North Sea on an island that the muggles would probably never find on purpose; Director Amelia Bones was walking through the corridors of one of the worst wizarding prisons known to wizard kind, Azkaban. Due to the nature of the creatures that guard Azkaban Amelia has her patronus charm, that of the skeletal like horse known as a Thestral, walking by her side.

"Ma'am are you certain that this prisoner is innocent?" came the dulcet soothing tones from a tall imposing figure beside her.

"Seems sketchy to me, but the sources checked out," came a gruff response from Amelia's other side.

Walking on either side of her were Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt. As they walked the corridors there were prisoners that were begging to be released from their never-ending nightmare and torment at the hands of the Dementors. The trio made their way to the maximum-security section of Azkaban in which the worst of the worst criminals were locked away in.

"Oh, lookie here, Bonesy is here as well as the two biggest disgraces I've ever had the displeasure of knowing," Rodolphus Lestrange called out from his cell, "Hey Shacklebolt, why don't you head back from where you came from eh?"

"Brother will you shut the bloody hell up you moron?!" Rabastian yelled at his brother, "I swear the house-elf dropped you on your head!"

"For once I agree with my brother-in-law, my dear moronic husband," Bellatrix stated without even looking up at her husband whose cell is located in front of hers.

Before Rodolphus even got the chance to reply a loud bang like sound came from the tip of Alastor's wand.

"Will you lot shut yer bloody mouths before I shut them for ya?!" Alastor screamed at the trio.

Instead of saying anything Amelia just nodded her head in thanks in Alastor's direction and kept walking towards the cell whose sole inhabitant was the reason for their visit.

"Sirius Orion Black," Amelia started, "I need you to come with us for some questioning. Stand away from the door with your hands out in front of you so that we can handcuff you and escort you out to the Ministry."

"Why so you guys can once again ask me why I betrayed my best friend only to not believe me when I tell you I didn't?" came a response from the man in the cell who goes by the name Sirius Black.

"Well Lord Black it turns out some new evidence has sprung up and we would like to confirm it hence why you will be joining us for questioning under Veritaserum."

Sirius looked up with a start at being called Lord Black so he didn't quite hear the rest about the new evidence that was uncovered, "What did you just call me?"

"I called you Lord Black, Siri you were never convicted of a crime and was never disowned by your family which, in accordance to our laws, makes you the Lord of your family."

Sirius just sat there in a stunned silence unable to process what he was just told. While he was sitting with his mouth wide open Amelia opened his cell door and walked in. She walked right up to him and gently closed his mouth for him. After doing so she pulled out a set of magic suppressing handcuffs and put them on him pulling him up at the same time to start walking him towards the exit of his cell. Sirius just let himself be led out of his cell and down the corridors.

Just like when they entered the group ignored all of the begging and screaming going on around them. Once the group of four reached the shoreline of the rocky island Shacklebolt raised his wand to summon the small four-person boat to ferry them across the water. Once across the water, which was a two-hour boat ride, they got out of the boat and apparated away to the Ministry of Magic. Since the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement was in their group, they just disapparated straight into her office.

"Alright let's get down to the interrogation room and get this out of the way so that we can get you a court date ASAP," Amelia stated firmly.

The group then left the office and headed right to the interrogation room without being interrupted by anyone. Once in the room Alastor was casting all kinds of spells such as detection spells, silencing and eavesdropping prevention spells etc. Once he was satisfied that the room was completely spelled and secure, he pulled out a small vial of Veritaserum.

"Now Alastor, why is I've got to keep telling you to stop carrying around that vial? You know it is a controlled substance and can easily get you a fine or worse if you are caught with it by our esteemed Minister and his little toady of an undersecretary Umbitch," Amelia said in exasperation.

"That would be an issue if I didn't already have proper paperwork filed out, I keep telling ye that I have it covered," Alastor grumped.

"Ok I just don't what to lose one of my best aurors because of that toady bitch."

Alastor just grunted in response and set about setting up a dicta-quill with some parchment. Once that was set up Alastor handed Amelia the vial of Veritaserum.

"Let the interrogation of Sirius Orion Black commence. Interrogator Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Amelia Bones, witnessed by Senior Aurors Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt. Do you Sirius Black consent to the use of Vertiaserum so that we may ascertain the truth of what happened the night of October 31st 1981 and the subsequent nights following it which led to the deaths of 12 muggles and Peter Pettigrew."

"I do consent," Sirius replied before opening his mouth.

Amelia then stepped forward and applied three drops of the potion directly on his tongue. She recorked the vial and waited a few seconds for the potion to take effect. Once Sirius' eyes glassed over, she knew it was time to begin the questions.

"What is your full name?"

"Sirius Orion Black."

"Take note the potion is indeed working," Amelia started, "Let us begin the interrogation."

With a nod from the two other men in the room and making sure the dicta-quill is still recording Amelia started asking questions.

"Were you the secret keeper for the Potters?"

"No."

"Who was the secret keeper then if not you?"
"Peter Pettigrew."

"Did you kill the 12 muggles and Peter Pettigrew on the night of November the 2nd?"

"No."

"Who did?"

"Peter was the one who killed the 12 muggles and he cut his finger off before he escaped."

"And just how did he escape?"

"Peter is an animagus."

"What is his form?"

"His form was that of a typical brown garden rat."

"So then what did happen that night," Alastor growled out.

Sirius then proceeded to explain how he had gone to the Potters house that night to spend time with them and celebrate Halloween when he found the house in shambles upon which he ran inside past the door, which had been blown off the door hinges, and found James on the floor already dead. He held his brother in all but blood and cried before closing his eyes and going up the stairs to find Lily and Harry. He described how he found Lily in front of the crib, her eyes had already been closed, which made it both easier and harder to step over her and grab his crying godson out of the crib. Once he made it outside, he was greeted with the sight of Hagrid, the groundskeeper at Hogwarts, who had said that Dumbledore sent him. He then explained how he had handed Harry over to Hagrid so that he can chase down the traitorous rat and bring him to justice and what had happened when he had finally cornered him which of course led to the deaths of the 12 muggles and Peter's escape in his rat form down the now open sewer line.

"I think that is all we need from this, Senior Auror Moody please administer the antidote," Amelia said once Sirius finished his story.

With a nod of his head and a grunt, Moody gave the antidote to Sirius who immediately went back to his normal self.

"So when will my court date be Amy?"

"I will be calling an emergency meeting for tomorrow," she responded.

"Finally," Sirius said with a tired grin.

"Hey boss, didn't Arthur Weasley's son have a pet rat with a missing toe that looks exactly like the way Lord Black here described Pettigrew's animagus form looked like?" Kingsley asked.

"Why yes Arthur did mention that his son did have a pet rat well now looks like this is going to work out in our favor," Amelia started, "Alastor please escort Lord Black to the holding cells in the Department of Mysteries this way Fudge and his toad don't put him back into Azkaban before tomorrow. When you are done meet us at The Burrow, we have a criminal to detain."

Without even giving a response Alastor did as he was told getting Sirius up and out of the seat before apparating straight to the DoM holding cells to make sure no one saw them.

"Let's go capture a rat, Kingsley."

With that said the two left the interrogation room and made their way to the apparition point where upon arriving apparated with a twist leaving the Ministry of Magic behind with Alastor doing the same shortly afterwards.
