Chapter 14 – Do not potter along at your own wedding... the guests could jail you

Severus and Draco had both opened their mail. Severus was reading his, sat on the couch, James in his arms with two black cats playing book-ends on the back of the couch.

After comparaison, the two letters proved to be the same, in the meaning if not the form. The wedding was sheduled to take place the next week. Severus and his whole familly were invited.

Even the meeting they had with a goblin specialist of magical contracts was useless: Sirius had to wed Lucius Malefoy or both would endanger not only their lives but also their magic.

That's why, three days later, Severus had taken James, Blaise, Harry and Draco to shop in Diagon Alley for dress robes. Draco was still reeling over the fact that Blaise and Harry were half brothers and that James Potter was alive and in a relationship with his favourite teacher. Dumbledore had been surprisingly easy to convince. He had relented when Harry had told him that he had to be there for Sirius and that he would go even if he was not allowed to. Draco had asked, and received, permission for Blaise to go with him.Severus was to keep an eye on everybody.

When he had learned there was no way out of this wedding, Sirius had refused to come out of his room. Only at night, when Lucius was thought to be asleep, could Padfoot be seen exploring the mansion or the gardens with his old friend Moony. He refused to even look at Malefoy if they, by chance, ran into him.

And the eve of the dreaded day came, and with it, the whole Potter-Snape familly in full force, the still a little bit confused Draco tailing them.

For the first time since the beginning of this ordeal, Sirius' smile reached his eyes. They spent the whole day together, trying to cheer Sirius up.

The morning of the 'joyful' event, Sirius was a nervous wreck. He kept on 'misplacing' his wedding robes, nevertheless that they were Gryffondor red.

Severus joined them with James still glued at his side at ten, the marriage being scheduled at eleven thirty. Both blinked at the state the room and Sirius were in. James ran to fetch the boys to help.

At eleven, Sirius was finally dressed, his robes having been lost and found in various places, the last being Severus hands, and groomed, which unsurprisingly took the less time.

He was so nervous he felt nauseous to the point that, even if he had not been able to eat anything, his stomach was trying to crawl out of his body. As they were nearing the gardens, where the 'Event' was to take place, Sirius digged his heels in and refused to carry on as soon as he caught sight of Lucius in his Slytherin green robes.

Nobody was able to make him move until James tickled his side. Which earned him a glare. To which he retaliated with a whisper. With a sigh and dragging his feet, Sirius took his place near Lucius, his head bowed.

When they reached the 'I do' part of the ceremony, Lucius felt Sirius ready to bolt. To avoid this, he snaked his arm around his waist. Sirius finished the ceremony in a daze, unable to understand how his left wrist became adorned with the platinium bracelet it sported now.

He was still trying to understand when Lucius' left hand with its gold bracelet tipped his chin up and Lucius finished the ceremony by kissing him. If anybody noticed the lone tear sliding down Sirius' cheek, nobody commented.

Just as Lucius was drawing back, the air resounded with numerous 'cracks'. Lucius instantly grabbed Sirius and embraced him, as did Severus with James. Blaise and Harry took position at their backs, while Moony stood before Sirius, threatening in his silent snarl. Draco stood proudly at his father' s right, his eyes blazing. The unwanted guests had arrived.

"To what do I own this displeasure, Fudge?" drawled Lucius, all the while tightening his hold on a shivering Sirius.

Fudge was cowardly ensconsed in a group of Aurors, all of whom were pointing their wands on Lucius and Sirius. Sirius whimpered and hided his face in Lucius' shoulder, his eyes tightly closed, as if the Aurors would disappear if he couldn't see them.

"Ah, Lucius, it's strange that the day we finally caught Sirius Black he would be in your arms, don't you think?"

Lucius tightened his embrace. "First, I think I was the one to 'catch' Sirius." He smirked. "Secondly, according to the magical contract our parents signed, he is now my mate. And thus has to stay with me. And third, I can tell you that he is innocent, in more ways than one."

Sirius half hearted "Hey" was followed by a small punch to his shoulder. Lucius unrepentidly kissed his forehead. "I'm happy to know you're still with us. Now, let me deal with this."

Fudge puffed with indignation. "Do I have to remind you that he betrayed the Potters?"

"He didn't" interrupted Harry.

Fudge began to redden in anger. "He was their secret keeper!"

"Meow!"

Everybody turned towards James, who strode towards Fudge. He stopped under Fudge's nose, his hands on his hips. His tail was wrapped around Severus' wrist, forcing him to follow. "Don't you think I should know if he was my secret keeper?"

"J... Ja...James P…Potter ? " Fudge stuttered.

" Ye.. Ye...Yes?" James mocked him, arching an eyebrow.

"He was not?" Fudge asked in a little voice.

"No, Pettigrew was."

"And you'll be ready to testiy of this under Veritaserum?"

"No."

Fudge began to throw out his chest at the thought of an easy win.

"Not till my child is born. I don't want to take any risks."

Fudge was gobsmacked. Blaise and Harry were snickering and commenting between them. Draco arched an eyebrow.

"So, you wat a re-trial?"

"Blaise, can you explain one thing to me?"

"Yes, Harry?"

"How can there be a re-trial if there had not been any trial before?"

"Hum, I don't know, Harry, but maybe Minister Fudge can explain?"

Both turned towards Fudge, blinking innocently with big round eyes, waitin for an answer. Draco smirked in amusement.

Lucius caught everyone's attention when he cleared his throat. "Besides, Minister Fudge, we received a wedding present you might be interested in."

Sirius frowned and entered the conversation. "From who?"

"From the Dark Lord himself."

Everybody gasped. Sirius' eyes widened. Lucius cupped his cheek. "Don't worry, I had it scanned by the House Elves. There's nothing wrong with it. And you're going to like it. I wanted to wait till tonight, but you know..." he trailed showing the Aurors.

He steered Sirius towards the stables. In one stall, restricted by a magical barrier, laid a small blading man, quivering on the ground. Sirius and Moony growled, James, Blaise and Harry hissed and spat, Severus sneered.

"Gentlemen, Minister, this is Peter Pettigrew. I think you should be aware that he is a rat animagus. He is the one you should test with Veritaserum."

Fudge looked skeptic.

"We could do it this afternoon. For now, it's time to eat. Don't worry, I don't plan on escamoting Sirius, but you can come along to be sure."

Lunch was very strained. Nobody was interested much in the food or in the conversation.

At two in the afternoon, everybody united in a little room whose only furniture were a table at which Lucius, Sirius, Severus, James, Blaise, Harry and Draco sat with Fudge, and a lone chair in front of it. Sirius had been interogated under the Veritaserum Severus had provided and claimed his innocence.

Pettigrew was brought into the room, bound to the chair and placed under a non transforming curse. The veritaserum was administered and the interrogation began.

"Name?"

"Peter Pettigrew."

"Whowas the secret keeper for the Potters?"

"I was."

"Are you a Death Eater?"

"I am."

"Is Sirius Black a Death Eater?"

"No, he is too weak."

"Did you kill all those muggles and framed Sirius Black to go to Azkaban?"

"Yes, I couldn't go to jail."

"Why?"

"I couldn't be punished for what my Master forced me to do."

Lucius sneered. "So, you prefered to sent an innocent man to hell on earth?"

"He deserved it! All the time, James and him were so popular, so smart. Nobody noticed me! The teachers and everybody prefered them."

Everybody was horrified to see how far a simple jealousy could go. Lucius turned towards Fudge. "You have enough to pardon Sirius. I expect the papers tomorrow morning, first thing. If you want to go on with the interrogation, you'll have to do this elsewhere. The whole wizzarding world will hear of the fact that you sent an innocent man to Azkaban without a trial or even a Prior Incantatum to his wand. Good bye Fudge." Lucius went to soothe a crying Sirius.

"Wait!" James shouted. "Why and how did you come here today?"

"I don't have to justify my actions to you." Fudge left quickly, followed by the Auror squad with Pettigrew into shackles and gagged in the middle of it.

"Well, that went well, don't you think?" Sirius gave everybody a small smile through his tears.

Lucius sighed. "You're all staying here tonight. I don't trust Fudge or the Dark Lord not to try something against you."

Everybody agreed.

Later, when everyone had retired for the night, Lucius made a fire call before joigning Sirius in their bedroom. Sirius was already under the covers, so Lucius quickly stripped down to his boxers before stepping in bed. Spooning against his back, Lucius felt Sirius tense and shiver. He stroked his flank before sliding one of his legs between Sirius' own and one arm around his waist. With a kiss on his shoulder, he settled to sleep.

"I know I have never done that, but I thought there would be something more to it." Sirius whispered shyly.

Lucius hugged him. "Sh, sleep. There is still tomorrow."
