It was about a month and a half later that I came across the ad I knew to be a message from Bones. I saw it while reading the Prophet during Breakfast, in the Great Hall so I couldn't show any expression on my face despite how difficult it was.

"Master Animagus Teacher Wanted, must be able to work with wizard amputees.

-The Black Dog"

The fact that Bones agreed to open the case was great, but what really caught my eye was the signature of the request. It could only mean Bones had gone to Azkaban and talked to Sirius or she already had him taken out of Azkaban, then talked to him. If she had done the latter, then I'd be very impressed as she did it without alerting anybody considering there was no news of it in the Prophet.

The signature also told me that Sirius trusted her, enough to tell her about his Animagus form, Pettigrew's, and potentially of all the Marauders. Though the fact that he had Bones sign the ad with his Animagus form told me that he expected Remus to be the one trying to prove his innocence and get him out of Azkaban. As far Sirius knew, nobody else knew about Pettigrew's Animagus form so it wasn't the wrong conclusion to make. There wasn't any other reason Sirius would purposefully risk exposing his Animagus identity like this. He probably wanted Remus to feel safe talking to Bones, and this was the only way he could communicate that to him. I wonder what his reaction will be when he realises it's not Remus but his godson who sprung him out.

Now though I wasn't Remus, Sirius trusting Bones gave me confidence in arranging a meeting with her. I quickly wrote a note asking her to meet at the Three Broomsticks Inn, this coming Saturday at noon and had Sebas deliver it. Choosing Hogsmeade may raise some flags for her but I needed to pick a place that I was familiar with. I'd never been there but I at least had a general idea of it through canon, also it would be easier getting back to Hogwarts, if I needed to and the elves couldn't take me away for whatever reason.

The day of the meeting I made sure to arrive extra early to the Inn with all the elves coming with me, except Albie who stayed behind at the manor to keep guard of the rat. I didn't go inside the Inn but instead stayed outside under my Cloak and waited for Bones to arrive. I would have Sebas follow her into the Inn and keep an eye on her while she's inside. Nabel would be keeping watch from a far to spot any tails that Bones would try to put on me. Tipsy, would remain with me, ready to take me away at my word.

Bones arrived early as well, but not as much as I did. As she entered the inn, I saw her check the surroundings, probably making sure this wasn't a trap in anyway. It didn't matter since I wasn't going to go inside, rather Sebas would drop off a note, discreetly, on her person. We had agreed on a predetermined time for him to wait before dropping the note.

A minute after he would have dropped it, Bones walked out the inn and made her way to the location I had specified on the note. Despite it being an afternoon, the Inn was still too crowded for my liking. As Bones walked on, I followed behind her, under cover of the Cloak, while I had my Magic Perception spell activated.

Nabel and I had discussed on specific signals to send that could be caught in my spell range, settling on flaring her magic out in a specific pattern. And after 10 seconds of following Bones, I detected that pattern, indicating an accomplice following Bones. I made sure to stay on Bones but now keeping alert for her accomplice as well.

Since I was following behind Bones, she arrived first at my prearranged location, the Shrieking Shack. Thankfully, there was nobody else around at the moment. I stopped a few metres away from her behind a tree, waiting for her accomplice, who arrived about 10-15 seconds later. He tried to remain hidden but I had spotted him easily, hard to hide from someone who is invisible.

When I recognized who it was, I let my nerves calm down a bit. I was getting ready to fight if I had to but considering her accomplice was Kingsley Shacklebolt, I was less wary. In canon, he was a skilled Auror and was essential in providing help to the Order while working undercover in the ministry. I didn't need to be worried about him being a spy for Voldemort.

Though I was still hesitant in being pinned between the two Aurors so I didn't approach Bones, instead just waited, watching the both of them. After about 30 minutes, Shacklebolt moved from his position to approach Bones, and he happened to walk right past me without realizing it.

While under the Cloak of Invisibility, I conjured another longer, and much darker cloak to cover me. I then called my wand to release small gusts of wind to raise me into the air. I couldn't fly too high up but I could at least levitate a bit off the ground. Enough to make me pass as an adult, while covered by my new long cloak, it was long enough to touch the ground even when I was levitating. While I was doing that, I could hear Bones reprimand Shacklebolt for potentially blowing the meetup.

"Relax Boss, it's been 30 minutes and he's a no show. I don't think he showing up at all-" Shacklebolt tried to explain.

"Actually, I was waiting for the two of you to get together. I didn't want to deal with any surprises from you while talking to her." I interrupted him as I made to walk in view of them.

To their credit, they responded quite fast with their wands at the ready, as they turned to face me. I could see them a bit unnerved by my appearance but that was the goal after all. I looked like Zero from the light novel Hero? I Quit, but without the red glowing eyes. I would work on adding that to my appearance as well, I liked how intimidating the eyes made the character look in the story. It was Bones who spoke up, not Shacklebolt.

"You've got some nerve making me wait for 30 minutes. If you didn't have critical evidence needed to free an innocent man, I would have taken you in just on principle." She said sounding irritated.

"By the signature of the ad, I take it you spoke to Black about his version of the events that night and the possibility of Pettigrew being alive?" I inquired; I didn't pay any heed to her irritation of me

"Yes, I did. And his account lined up with your letter. The part of the Pettigrew being the Secret Keeper and how Sirius felt guilty for choosing him to be the Keeper. Which begs the question, how did you come by this information? Your demeanor does not match the "Wolf" person, Black described to us. So, who are you and how did you get all your information?" She asked authoritatively.

"My identity isn't what is important right now Madam Bones, rather the release of Black. I think that should take priority, before trying to figure out who I am." I replied back without pause, with a bit of force in my voice.

Neither of us spoke for a few seconds, and Shacklebolt remained the silent observer he had become. Eventually with a deep sigh Bones relented.

"Fine, we'll deal with Black for now but as soon as that is done, I will need to know who you are. You know too much for me to let you walk away at will, but I assume you knew that when you reached out to me."

"Yes, I did." I said with a sly smile she couldn't see and continued on. "If you can get Sirius released then I'll be more forthcoming. Speaking of, what is the next move, do you still have to get him out of Azkaban or have you already gotten him out? When are you preparing for a new trial?" I asked hastily. It was getting harder and harder to restrain my excitement from showing. Not only about possibly getting Sirius legally freed but I was waiting for the moment when everyone realized it was me under the proverbial mask. Bones had to bring me out of my musings.

"I did get him out, and at the moment it's been kept completely quiet. I rotated the shift at Azkaban with my most trusted Aurors, apart from Kingsley here. They were able to get him out a few days after I got your letter; they will also stay behind at Azkaban to man the shift so Black's disappearance isn't noted until everything is resolved." She, detailed her current status on the case.

"That's a lot of information to share with me, isn't that against the rules." I asked apprehensive about her willingly sharing all this information.

"Maybe, but we need to build trust between us fast. You said you have more details, and well I want to know everything. That's why I'm telling you everything; so that we, both, are on the same page." Bones stated firmly.

"Alright well…"

Understanding her point, I told her all the details about the night that she probably wasn't aware of. Most of it where the specifics of Pettigrew's whereabout until now and some more details about the night of Voldemort's death; one of them being that Pettigrew was the one who took Voldemort's wand away from where it had fallen, after his death. That detail greatly intrigued her, and Shacklebolt who had to apologize when he couldn't help shouting out in exclamation. Couldn't blame him, news of the D.M.L.E. finding Voldemort's wand would explode all through Britain. Before I could voice my worries, Bones took care of them.

"Do not speak a word of this to anyone else!" She directed Shacklebolt, who responded with a firm nod.

We then discussed the particulars of getting Sirius a new trial. It, would take place the next time a full session of the Wizengamot was held, which was about 2 weeks from now. I wasn't thrilled with the wait but it did give us the time needed to make Sirius presentable for the Wizengamot. All the years in Azkaban had taken a toll on him and he needed a healer for both the mind and body. Two weeks would not be enough to get him to 100% but it should be enough to get him presentable at least. There was a reason why lawyers always had their clients looking pristine the day of trial, the image you portrayed impacted the decision of your case.

Bones said she would take care of getting Sirius ready for trial, and bring him the day of the trial. She begrudgingly let me keep Pettigrew, when I told her that he was the most important evidence we had and it was better to keep D.M.L.E. hands off him until the trial, just to be safe.

Had she known that I was just an 11-year-old child, she probably wouldn't have agreed. She, probably wouldn't have agreed to take the case at all, but as long as the ruse worked, I wasn't going to be the one to pull the plug.

The two weeks ended up passing by relatively fast; as I distracted myself with classes, studying with Hermione and Neville, training with the wand, playing with Fluffy and lots and lots of flying on my broom.

When the day of the trial came, I had Sebas be the one guarding Pettigrew at Potter Manor. He would only be brought to the Wizengamot when he needed to be, not a minute before. I wasn't going to take any chances of anything going wrong today. I had even made sure to keep him reasonably well fed and taken care of so there is no argument of mistreating a prisoner, or obtaining a confession under duress. He was always kept in a dark cage so he probably has yet to realize he was held captive by me this whole time.

As usual, my roommates remained blissfully asleep as I prepared for the eventful day to come. It was a Sunday morning after all. But unlike my roommates, I had significantly more important things to worry about than getting more sleep.

I told Tipsy to fetch my suit that I had tailored to fit me perfectly. The blazer and pants were a deep black, the same as canon Harry wore to Bill and Fleur's wedding. However, instead of the purple shirt and tie, I wore a green silk shirt and tie. The same shade as my eyes, drawing more attention to them. I also chose not cover my scar, I wanted to be recognized and seen today. With the knowledge of this being a Potter-Marvel universe, I needed to build a firm base in the wizarding world and today would be my first step towards it. I would have to risk exposing myself a little bit in the political world and hope Voldemort doesn't make too much of it.

I had Tipsy drop me off just outside the Ministry. When I got inside, I was drawing attention right away. The scar and my enthralling green eyes gaining immediate recognition as I made my way to where the Wizengamot meetings were held, Bones had been kind enough to give me directions. Most of the members were already inside, but a few were waiting outside, talking in hushed tones. Those were probably all the members Bones trusted to notify in advance, of the emergency trial she was going to call. Among the crowd, I also caught sight of a somewhat rough looking man in handcuffs, I couldn't see his face through the crowd though. But then, I didn't need to see his face to know who it was. He was wearing standard black dress robes, probably the only thing Amelia could buy in short notice.

All whispering stopped when they caught sight of me walking up to them. They were all stunned, as nobody expected me to be here. Understanding the magnitude of the moment, they all parted in the middle, creating an opening to the man in handcuffs. It was only when everyone was moving away did Sirius see me. I saw his eyes widen in surprise when he did.

"I thought…I thought I would have to wait till the Hogwarts school year ends before I could see you." He managed to mumble out after getting some semblance of control. And then proceeded to pull me to him for a hug as he knelt to my level, though it was an awkward one because of the cuffs. But it was still a warm heartfelt hug nonetheless.

"It's good to see you, Harry." He whispered in my ear.

"It's good to see you too… Padfoot." I whispered back in his ear.

He immediately pulled out of the hug to look at me in askance. He looked up and around before setting back on to me with more shock on his face. Damn it. I wished I had a camera, the expression on his face was priceless. Considering we were still surrounded by other people; I only gave him a sly wink with a knowing smile to confirm the suspicions I knew to be forming in his head.

It was then that Bones interrupted us apologetically, as it was time to head inside and clear Sirius' name. And we made our way, Sirius had to do his best to stifle his current emotions. I could tell he had so many questions about how I knew everything, especially if Remus wasn't the one to tell me. But all those had to wait for now.

Sirius and I stopped just inside the entrance, waiting for Bones to announce the call for an emergency trial. Even though we were out of view, we could hear everything going on. They were discussing the possibility of increasing the number of spells classified as Dark Magic when Bones interrupted the meeting to call for a raise of an emergency trial.

She had expertly worded it so all the members agreed on the basis of the trial before they knew who it was for. She hadn't named Black, but rather called him a defendant who had to spend years imprisoned without a trial and now had evidence proving his innocence. A lot of members were swayed by the breach of ethics and agreed for the trial. But pandemonium erupted when she announced it was Sirius Black. Among the voices, the one that stood out the most was of Dolores Umbridge.

"How dare you think to release the man responsible for betraying the Potters? How could you possible think to defend a man who betrayed his own godson, the Boy-Who-Lived?" Umbridge shouted out.

"I'm so very touched that you, all, care so much for my parents death, and the loss and betrayal I experienced." I said, having cast a wandless Sonorous charm on myself. It had the intended effect of silencing the entire room. Seeing that I had everyone's attention, I continued on. "And seeing how you are all so concerned for the justice I deserve; I think none of you will mind if we simply confirm that the right person was being punished. Especially since, there is new evidence exonerating my godfather."

"And what new evidence are you referring to Mr. Potter?" asked Dumbledor from his position as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.

It was the first time he had spoken since Amelia had called for the emergency trial. He was looking at me with an unreadable expression on his face right now. I knew him and I would be speaking soon, after this. For now, I put that aside and answered his question.

"To begin with, the fact that Peter Pettigrew is still alive."

The room was filled with pure silence after my response. And then once again pandemonium hit the Wizengamot with many members shouting out all at once. I ignored them all and kept my attention on Dumbledore who looked pale at the reveal. Was it because he knew all along but never intended it to come out, or was it because he never knew and blamed Sirius, just the same as everyone else?
