A/N: Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
A/N: Guest: thank you for pointing out the mistake I made. Poison and Potion is a mistake I just did not see. That is one of the problems I have with my dyslexia, you can read or write something else while you are thinking of one thing. You just don't see it.
PS: I'm not in the habit of responding in my story. Mostly I will do it through a pm message but this was an exception.
For everyone else, I'm sorry but I still hope you will enjoy this story. I myself am learning a lot by just writing this. Enough of this, let's move on to the next chapter.
(BSC C2 C4) C34 An encounter with Sirius.
Tonks and Andromeda remained at Potter castle for several more days. Tonks wanted to know everything there was to know about her new baby brother.
And Andromeda was just glad that she had her little sister back. Bella was again the sweet and innocent Bella she had lost so many years ago.
Tonks had taken to Bella and Harry in an instance; she taught Harry and Bella how to stand and how to act if they were in a duel. And she even duelled with them for a bit. She was impressed by the magic ability they both already possessed. She then told them that she herself was just half as good as they were now at this age. She also promised to teach them everything that she was now learning at the academy.
Bella then looked a little stirring at Harry. She smiled when he was talking to Tonks. He was finally free of those awful Dursleys and it showed. Now people could finally hug him when he saw them coming. If someone just did it without him seeing them, he became fearful. But that was understandable after eleven years of misery at their hands.
At dinner, Harry asked if he could go and see Sirius in Azkaban.
Minerva and Arabella were very reluctant at first because they knew why Sirius was in Azkaban, they also knew that at some point it had to happen. After all, they knew that Sirius was not guilty of the betrayal of Harry's parents.
But then again he was still a suspect in the murder of twelve Muggles. And he still had the murder of Peter Pettigrew on his conscience. That was the only murder they did not mind.
Minerva suggested that they would first discuss it with David. He as an ex auror would be a good protection for them if they would go. And also because as an ex auror he would know what to expect when they would get to Azkaban.
Amelia Bones was also one that could join them. As boss of the aurors, she was well suited for a thing like this.
Tonks also wanted to go along. She could use that visit as a good exercise for her auror training. But mainly she wanted to go and be there for her new little brother. This was something that earned her a kiss from Andromeda.
The rest of the evening they told stories of what they had done in their first year of school. Tonks had just finished her last year and told them about the many secret passageways she knew of. She also told them where they could find the kitchens and which pear to tickle to get in.
Around ten o'clock that day Tonks and Andromeda went home.
She then took Bella and Harry to bed.
Minerva quickly sent a note to David and Amelia for their advice.
It was three days later when an owl from the Ministry flew through the open kitchen window. The owl landed in front of Minerva and stretched out his leg to her. Minerva took the note from the owl and thanked it by giving it a piece of bacon. The owl then flew straight back through the open window and disappeared out of sight. "It's from Amelia" she said when she saw her name on the envelope.
She then quickly read through the letter and said that it was for Harry and Bella.
As Bella and Harry shifted together they took the letter and began to read it.
Dear Minerva / Harry and Bella.
I first had a look at why Sirius is in Azkaban.
It is with great regret that I must inform you that Sirius was thrown into Azkaban without any form of mercy.
He never had a trial or even a hearing.
So I cannot tell you whether he is really guilty or not.
Yesterday I personally went to Sirius in Azkaban.
He himself told me that he is innocent of everything and that he understood that no one believed him.
All he wants is a fair hearing.
Because! Only in a fair hearing he can prove his innocence.
And he can do it under the influence of Veritaserum. (Truth poison)
I did discuss the case of Sirius with Fudge but he continues to uphold his own ideas and that it is not true and that Sirius is guilty of betraying the Potters.
When I told Sirius that Harry wanted to see him he said the following.
Amelia I do not care. You can place me in a cage and completely freeze, stun or bound me.
But please let Harry come.
That were the exact words he told me
Sirius was once a very good friend of mine.
Actually, he was something more to me.
And I believe everything he told me.
I know I should not say this but I think it could be a good thing for both of them if they would meet.
Together with David, I can arrange it so that Harry and Bella could meet him on Saturday.
David will be able to bring them there together with the help of Tonks.
Minerva if you do not think it's a good thing then let me know.
Otherwise, make sure that Bella and Harry are ready on Saturday at noon.
Greetings, Amelia Bones.
PS: The case against Dumbledore is next week. And it will be held on Friday.
Afterwards we should be able to go to Diagon Alley with all the children.
Let me know what you think about that.
Harry cheered up completely when he heard that he was going to meet his godfather for the very first time. Along with Bella, he could hardly wait for that moment. It was still a good night's sleep away, but that would not be the problem.
On Saturday morning both Harry and Bella were waiting anxiously. Together with David and Tonks they would go to Azkaban. This was told to them earlier that morning.
Minerva had to go back to Hogwarts and therefore could not see them leave. She had a hard time with it but could do nothing about it.
Ten minutes to twelve when the flames in the fireplace flared high and green. Tonks came sliding across the floor. "I hate to travel by floo" she grumbled. "I never seem able to just walk out of it" she again grumbled as she got up. "Hello Harry, Hi Bella, is David here already."
Both of them shook their heads.
Tonks sighed "good because he hates it when he has to wait."
She had hardly finished telling them that and the flames flared up again. David was slowly walking out of the fire and was closely followed by Daphne.
Daphne looked around her father and saw Bella and Harry standing there.
Before David could say anything she rushed towards them, and took Bella and Harry in a hug, it was the most intimate hug David or Tonks had ever seen.
"My father gave me permission to be there for you and Bella just to support you. But only if you would allow me." Daphne looked tense between Bella and Harry. Both started to nod yes and Daphne took them right back into that hug.
David looked at Tonks and behind his hand he told her he did not want it at all but that it was Isabella who made him do it. And an Isabella Greengrass is one woman you better listened to.
Tonks chuckled a little at the thought.
David then told them what they could and could not do. First they could not make eye contact with the other prisoners. And whatever happens they had to keep their hood on at all times, and cover their faces. Only by Sirius they could take off their hood.
The three of them nodded as if they were one. Together they walked to the main entrance and through the magic wards that surrounded the Peverell estate.
They could not disapparate from inside the Wards. Only Minerva could do that, and later Harry and Bella would also be allowed to do that.
Outside the wards David took the hands of Bella and Daphne and disapparated.
"Harry, you will go with your favourite sister. Sweet little brother of mine" Tonks said with a chuckle.
Harry could not help it but he also had to laugh a little. He liked Tonks she was fun and different.
With the feeling as if they were drawn through a hose they suddenly stood before a small pier. At the end of the pier lay a small boat. With nine other witches and wizards they were then heading towards the island of Azkaban.
David told them that the prisoners were usually guarded by Dementors. But since there was now two hours of visiting time, they had to stay at the end of the prison. Now the prisoners were also foreseen of food and water.
Daphne had also never been to Azkaban, and like Bella she too was a little scared.
Bella looked at them both and whispered softly. "It's crazy, I know that I'm inside these walls. And I'm in there unjustly, just like Sirius is. And I think it's scary just to think about it. How will my other me be in there."
Harry and Daphne knew exactly what Bella meant with those words. The adult Bellatrix was also here inside these walls. They just couldn't do anything about it or otherwise Bella would not be sent back to the past.
There the three of them stood side by side. The ship sailed slowly toward a huge gray building. Harry pushed Bella to the middle between him and Daphne. They both made sure they were able to give her the comfort she deserved.
Slowly they sailed towards the prison. There were all kinds of thoughts that came up in their minds, but everyone kept it to themselves. None of the other three wanted to give more tension to the others than necessary.
Harry was the first to walk inside after David. Bella and Daphne followed him and Tonks closed the line. Their hoods were firmly placed over their heads. It was really scary when they walked right past the first couple off cells. The people that were in the cells, you could not really call them human. They were undernourished Wizards and witches. Harry hated to see them like this and did not understand why the wizarding world did this to other wizards and witches.
They climbed the stairs one after the other. They had to go to the top floor. That was the place where all the Death Eater prisoners were. It seemed like it was the worse place of the whole prison.
Only Bella and Harry were allowed to go to the cell of Sirius. David, Tonks and Daphne would wait behind the door of the ward, and looked through the bars.
Daphne had her arms clamped onto the bars and watched them go. Both had given her a nod that it was good.
A guard who had walked out in front of Bella and Harry had placed Sirius in magic resisted handcuffs. In this way, he could do nothing to them even if he wanted to. His cell was the last of the corridor, which seemed a very long way away.
Bella and Harry knew that they could not look at the other cells. But it was hard when you heard the insults that were made by the prisoners. Especially all the perverse remarks they threw at Bella.
They were only two cells removed from the cell of Sirius.
There was a soft sobbing sound from one of the cells, a sob that Harry could not resist. He turned his head to the left and looked into the cell. In the back of the cell in the farthest corner of the cell, it sounded like there was a woman there who was crying heavily. Harry walked to the cell and grabbed the bars.
Bella went to stand behind him and held him firmly around his waist.
The guard walked up behind them. He wanted to say something but could not make a sound.
Harry and Bella both radiated a kind of magical aura that seemed to make it impossible for him to speak.
"Is everything okay with you ma'am" Harry asked in a friendly tone. He knew the answer would be no, But what else could you asked at a moment like this.
The woman in the cell stopped her crying. Slowly she rose up to her feet and walked to the bars.
The guard raised his wand and wanted to do something.
Harry, however, thought differently about that and put his hand on his wand. And without much effort he brought it down again.
The woman in the cell now stood before him and looked him straight in his eyes.
Harry knew who it was and wanted to say something. But he could not. His mouth opened and closed but nothing came out.
"You have beautiful eyes, too bad I'm a little too old for you but I can feel a warm feeling right here" the woman told him gently, while she was pointing at her heart.
Bella came from behind the back of Harry and looked at the woman. "I know the feeling deep in your belly as if all misery recedes and there is only Happiness that is left" Bella told her.
The woman in cell nodded and was now looking at Bella. "I do not know you but I feel like I do". The woman said kindly as she watched Bella carefully.
Bella looked back and just nodded.
Again the woman let her brown eyes flutter back to Harry and looked at him again. "Who is the one you are here for?" She asked. "Because I doubt that you are here to see me."
Harry nodded that she was right and motioned to the cell of Sirius.
"AH, you are here for my cousin. He is innocent you know, so be kind to him."
Harry looked deep into her eyes and put his hands on hers.
They melted at his touch but she did not know why.
"I know he is innocent" harry said. "He is just as innocent as you are."
Her eyes that were already large and sunken were even larger now. They filled them self with tears and she walked away from the bars.
Harry knew she was innocent because he had knowledge from his little Bella. With a glance back he was led further by Bella to the cell of Sirius.
Sirius was sitting by the bars and watched the whole scene that was playing itself right before his eyes.
"I Love what you've just done for her, Harry that was something that would make your mother real proud you know." Those were the words Sirius started with when Bella end harry arrived at his cell.
Harry sat down on the ground in front of him and looked straight at his godfather.
Bella sat beside him and was also looking at Sirius. In the ear of Harry she immediately whispered. "That's the Sirius I've been dreaming of."
Sirius, however, had understood the whisper word for word. His eyes went from Harry over to Bella. "I do not know how it could have happened, but Bella how did you get here and also in the cell where you were just standing in front of. But that you're here with Harry is special enough and also frustrating in a way."
Bella looked very surprised at Sirius and was not sure what to say or even if she would want to tell him about Voldemort or the marriage contract.
Sirius laughed loudly, and it was just as if you heard a dog barking. But he again was looking at Harry.
"Sirius, what do we have to do to get you out of here."
The question of Harry overwhelmed Sirius a little. "Harry, I'm suspected of killing your parents and twelve Muggles and also for killing one of my former friends".
He thought that by saying this that Harry would look differently at him.
But Harry knew the answer. "Sirius, I know you're innocent or else you would not let yourself be cuffed at these bars. And you would not have cooperated with Amelia Bones".
"You know Amelia" Sirius asked Harry quite surprised.
"Yes Sirius I know Amelia, I know her privately and in a business sends. She has temporarily connected her house to my house." Harry then whispered something in the ear of Bella.
Bella immediately got up and walked to the others.
Sirius watched as she walked away and then again turned his gaze towards Harry. "If you really want to help me by getting me free, then go look for a rat. Peter is an Animagus and he can turn himself into a rat. I do not know where he is but he's surely with a wizarding family. He is missing a toe. In real life it is a finger "Sirius told Harry with a piercing look.
Meanwhile, there was a young lady who was now standing beside Harry
Sirius looked up and back at Harry.
"Sirius may I introduce you to Nymphadora Tonks / Potter my sister."
"You've taken my cousin into your family." It was especially a proud sound that was heard in his voice. With shining eyes, he looked up at Tonks. "Please bring my greetings to Andromeda and please give her a kiss behind her left ear from me."
Tonks looked at him quizzically.
"Do it you'll be able to laugh" he told her.
Tonks sat down with Harry and after a while she rose again, and slowly made her way back to Bella.
Sirius only wanted to talk about Harry and Bella now. He did not know why but there was an auror of love between those two. He looked happy when they told him they would do anything for each other. Harry wanted to tell him about the dreams of Bella but he did not. Something stopped him from doing it, dut he did not know why.
Sirius told that they only had a few moments left and he wanted to know some things. He first wanted to know with whom Harry was living.
Harry told him that he was now living with his real grandmother and that He was very happy to be living with her.
Sirius did not know who his real grandmother was and so he immediately asked for it.
Bella started laughing because she'd heard enough stories from James to know what Sirius had done while he was at Hogwarts. And Harry got a wicked grin on his face.
It was something that did not escape Sirius. "I'm not going to like the answer now am I?"
Harry laughed very malicious. "No, but I will be having fun in telling it to you. My grandmother is Minerva Potter / McGonagall."
Sirius's face completely fell when he heard that name. "I hope that she forget about that detention I still have to do when I get out," he mumbled.
Harry grinned. "I think she forgot that one, but don't worry I will help her remember it." Harry smiled even wider now. "I must also tell you that I'm now living in the Potter castle.
Bella gave Sirius a hug when it was time for them to leave.
It was something that made Sirius feel good, something that he had not felt in a long time.
Harry promised him that he would be looking for the rat, and that he would do everything to get cleared from all charges.
Sirius knew it would be almost impossible for Harry to find the rat, but he thanked him anyway. The idea that Harry believed him was more worth to him than all the other things together. With difficulty and sadness in his voice he said goodbye to them both.
Harry was hesitating en did not want to leave Sirius in that cell, so Bella had to pull him a along and away from Sirius.
Together they walk through the corridor and back to the others.
Can I have another look into your eyes before you go away"? A female voice from the cell next to him asked him in a soft voice.
Harry looked up and whispered something in the ear of Bella.
Bella looked at him and nodded. "It's good Harry, actually you will still be doing it to me."
Bella walked a few meters further and turned to Harry. She could see him now walking towards the cell.
The woman in the cell gasped. She looked straight into the green eyes of Harry. Again she got that warm feeling deep in her belly.
Harry stood in front of her and again put his hands on hers.
It gave her the same tingle that she had felt before.
"Bellatrix Black, I don't know if you know it, but your husband has recently been thrown through the veil. And so you're no longer married to him. Because of this, he has completely disowned you in his last will."
Her eyes became big and a deep sigh escaped from her lungs. "Thank Merlin; I'm out of that contract and away from that scumbag."
These were the words that Harry heard her Muttering in the sign that she blew out of her lungs. "There's also something else I must tell you. Now that you're free again, there is another marriage contract for you. So when you're free from this place you must again marry to someone else, this all thanks to your grandfather."
Bellatrix slowly began to curse and blamed her grandfather ones more for what was happening to her.
Harry took his hands and put them on her cheeks. With the gaze of his emerald green eyes, he looked at her en could see that she immediately became quiet.
"I also know whom you will be marrying and I do not know if you will like it."
Even before she knew what she did, she immediately asked him in a snappy tone. Who it was that she had to marry now, immediately afterwards she stammered sorry and that she did not mean it in that way.
Harry However just laughed a little.
Bellatrix again lost herself in his emerald green eyes.
"You must marry a Potter. I can also tell you that he does not mind it at all."
Bellatrix looked at him quizzically and wanted to say something, but she was completely surprised with what this emerald green eyed boy in front of her did.
Harry planted his lips on the lips of Bellatrix.
She wanted to struggled with everything she had but her body did not respond the way she wanted it to. Her hands did not push him away but pulled him towards her. She did not know why but she felt everything slipping away. She felt no misery no hatred no disgust. The only thing she felt was the love in that one kiss.
Harry broke off the kiss and took a small step backwards.
Bellatrix had her eyes closed and was now opening them very slowly.
Harry took his cap and pushed it backwards on his head.
Bellatrix just continued to stare into the green eyes of Harry.
Her eyes went very quickly from his eyes to his scar. She was startled with what see saw and put a few fingers on top of her lips.
Harry turned around and slowly walked away from her.
Bellatrix leaned against the wall beside her and was slowly dropping to the floor, while holding her finger to her lips
Harry himself did not know it at that moment, but this was the turning point for Bellatrix. This had been the moment that Bellatrix Black had fallen for the great Harry Potter.
Harry walked over to Bella and gave her a kiss, and together they went over to Daphne.
Daphne was waiting for them both and had seen all that Harry had done. But she did not know who the woman was that Harry was kissing.
Bella took Daphne in a hug and told her what Harry had done and why he had done it.
Daphne looked at Harry and went right in front of him. "Harry James Potter, that was a very nice thing you just did." She then looked Harry straight in the eye and from out of nowhere she kissed him.
Harry took the kiss and deepened it a little.
Daphne at that moment felt all the love Harry had for her and it gave her a tingling feeling all over her body.
A/N: Thanks for reading and see you again in two weeks. Greetings Winmau.
