A/N Sorry I'm a day late but I had to visit some family who had just become parents of a little demon who already has them under her spell. And if she isn't a demon than they only have to wait until uncle Winmau gets an hour alone with her and the first thing she will say is. I solemnly swear I'm up to no good.

(BSC 4 C4) C91 The trial of Sirius Black.

It was just around breakfast time when a screaming Harry was heard all over Potter castle. He was screaming his head off as he ran after Ginny and Astoria. The others around the breakfast table didn't have a clue of what they had done. But they did hear that Harry was doing everything he could to get the two girls. Ginny was the first to run into the kitchen where she ducked behind Sirius with Astoria right behind her who ducked behind Isabella. They were holding their hands in front of their mouth just so they could keep their laughter inside, something that didn't really help them.

It was only when Harry entered the kitchen that all the others started to laugh. Sirius fell from his chair as he held his arms around him, to ease his hurting ribs. Remus was whipping his eyes to rub away the tears of laughter.

Harry looked around himself as he saw how everyone was laughing at him. His hair was bride pink. "They did it," he said. The ones around the table who hadn't laughed lost it at this point.

Tonks came walking in "Nice color little brother" and she changed her own hair color to match them with the color Harry had.

Right behind Tonks was Minerva who saw her own grandson, "OOo my" she said as she waved her wand over his hair and turned it back to his own black. "I really thought it would come out red, but never this pink".

"Grandmother you, you, knew" Harry almost screamed.

Minerva placed two fingers over her mouth. "Oops, I shouldn't have said that" Minerva whispered loud enough as she tried to give him an innocent look.

"But, but"

The answer Harry wanted to give was interrupted by Bella who was the last to lose it. Her laughter brought all the others around her into another round of Laughter making Harry sit down as he scowled at all of them. His eyes were mad but the twitching of the corner of his mouth told them he wasn't mad at them at all. Not long after that, he himself started to laugh too.

That little prank Minerva played on her grandson with the help of Ginny and Astoria, was just the thing they needed to get them all out of the mood they were in. Today was the day Sirius would have his trial. Now he had been cleared by the minister so that was not the issue. No, this trial had been made by Dolores Umbridge and it was for the reason to determine if Sirius was good enough to keep his seats and his title of Lord Black.

So this little prank was just what they needed, especially after what happened the night before.

Amelia had finally got her talk with the minister, a talk between just the two of them. But whatever she said, he would not believe that Voldemort was trying to get back. He was dead and that was all he had to say about it.

*#*

Flashback to the night before.

It was just past midnight when a defeated Amelia walked out of the fire and slumped down in a chair with a deep sigh.

Everyone was looking at her and waited for what she had to say. Only the words she said were not the words they wanted to hear. It were the words that could be seen as the final nail in the coffin of one Cornelius Fudge.

"Well, it is official. Minister Fudge the bumbling fool he is, doesn't want to hear a word about the resurrection of Lord Voldemort. It was not long after our talk that he went to the fireplace and asked for Lucius and Umbridge to join us. Well, it's clear to say that the moment they walked in Fudge lost the ability to think for himself, if he ever could that is. Now I did try to get Lucius to show his mark but he and Umbridge blocked me on every attempt. It is something they will also do with every member of the Wizengamot. Most of them will listen and do as they say out of fear. Knowing this I'm not sure if the Davids and Patils will remain at our side. I'm not really sure if I would blame them if the would go to save themselves. Everyone is afraid of He Who Must Not Be Named. So most will be afraid to believe us or will just ignore us to make themselves think he will never come back".

Even if the words Amelia had said were hard, they all knew that it was the truth. None of them had expected Fudge to listen to them but they also knew Amelia had to try. The worst thing about the bad news was that it was always followed by more bad news. And if Fudge had been there together with Umbridge and Lucius, then the bad news would be really bad.

Amelia who was still sitting slumped down in the chair just looked straight ahead. She knew that she had more bad news but wasn't sure how to bring it. She thought that if she started with the fact that Fudge didn't believe that Voldemort would come back. It would create a lot of commotion that her next news wouldn't be so hard to tell. Amelia turned her eyes down and shrieked while she pulled her legs up. Right there in front of her were all the friends looking up at her with pleading eyes. How they knew she had more was a mystery to her but she could just see it in their eyes. Her gaze went over to Minerva and Isabella who just laughed a little.

"They are not going away until you tell them, Amelia," Minerva told her with another giggle of her own.

Amelia sighed and nodded as she closed her eyes and started. "While I was in the office talking to Fudge, I almost had him so far that he would listen and help us to find some evidence. But Like always he can't do anything without his own house toad or his sidekick".

The moment she said it most of the adults let out a curse. The friends all smiled as Hermione called out "Language" as she looked pointedly at every one of them.

Amelia smiled at it but knew that the happiness that followed would drop the moment she would say the next thing she had to say. "The moment Fudge told them what I had said, the toad accused me of a plot. It would be a plot from Potter to put Fudge out of his chair and I was nothing more than his messenger".

Susan and Harry responded with outrage about the fact they thought that their aunt would be a messenger. Which Amelia calmed down by gesturing them to sit back. "Thank you for your support," she told them with a smile. "Now if that was all I could wave it off but Umbridge went on. According to her the trial with Sirius was only a way to bring down the ministry. Because if everyone would clear the name of Black, it could bring a lot of people against them".

Amelia waited to see if they saw what she was about to say and pointed to the one who did. Daphne nodded back "So they are afraid that if Sirius is publicly cleared that he will come down on the ministry to get back at them".

Amelia smiled. "That is not the only reason" and Amelia looked at the children in front of her. She heard the gasp of Augusta and knew that she knew what she meant. Her look went to Neville who started to realize what she meant too and Harry who already knew what it was she was talking about. She saw in his eyes that he knew what she meant but wanted to give the honor to one of his friends.

"Seats" Susan mumbled.

Amelia smiled even wider as she heard her niece saying it and asked why.

Susan blushed at the attention she not only got from her aunty and friends, but also from all the adults that were standing behind her. "Seats" she whispered again before she really started to talk. "It are the black seats. Every seat that is not in use for fifteen years will be lost to the ministry. So by keeping Sirius out of the Wizengamot they can take his eight seats and give them to the other members, meaning Lucius and Parkinson".

"But the Malfoy seat is part of the house of Black," Sirius said from behind her.

Susan turned around. "Yes, but getting you out of the Wizengamot will mean that everyone who is sitting in one of those seats can keep them".

Sirius let out a curse and was immediately smacked on the back of the head by Minerva "Behave" she snapped.

Amelia stood and started to walk up and down the room. "There is one more thing," she said. "Tomorow during the trial to publicly clear the name of Sirius, Umbridge will be the one to ask the questions".

The uproar that started in the room was something Amelia expected. By telling them that Umbridge would ask the questions she basically told them that Sirius was guilty. Sure his name was cleared of the murders and the betrail but Umbridge would make sure that Sirius would lose everything else. No matter what they would do.

The friends stood and went into the corner of the room where they started to make their own plans. Daphne and Hermione went into the library to get some books as the others listened to what the adults were saying.

They head them shouting one idea after the other but most of them were put aside.

The friends kept on listening and heard how the emotions were getting irritated the more frustrating I seemed to the adults.

The one thing the adults didn't know was, that with every idea they put aside. They helped the friends closer to their own idea of saving Sirius.

Most of the ideas from the adults were based on safety while the friends were willing to take more risk, this because they didn't foresee the consequences of their actions. What they heard were the words (stick together, make one solid point, and form a pact) but the one thing that stuck out for them was that the whole thing would be reported live on the Wizarding wireless. Those last words made sure that the friends were heading in one direction.

Minerva took that moment to turn around and see Daphne and Neville dragging Sirius to the side room. Her gaze went to the left and saw Hermione, Susan, and Bella bringing stacks of books into the side room. She shook her head and gazed down at her cub who stood in front of her. "What are you all planning to do".

"Nothing much," Harry told her.

Minerva raised her eyebrow and waited for Harry to tell her what she wanted to know.

"Sorry grandmother but we have to keep this to our selfs" and Harry turned to Augusta. "Grangran" he started and waited for her to turn around. "is it true that the lordship flows through the blood".

"Yes".

"Is it also true that goblins can take an order if I sent someone with a test tube of my own blood".

"Hmmm, yes".

"Thank you and he rushed out of the room right after his friends.

Flashback back to the now.

With still an hour to go, everyone was sitting around. Just waiting for the minutes to go by. It was on nine o clock that everyone would leave for the trail of Sirius black versus the ministry.

"Go on make yourself ready," Isabella said to the friends.

"Sorry mum, but we ain't going," Daphne told her. "We just cannot handle seeing Umbitch mishandle Sirius like that". As she looked up with a very sad face complete with a trembling lower lip.

Both Minerva and Isabella told them that they had to go to support Sirius. But it was Sirius who told them to take it easy. If the children didn't want to see him suffer than they should stay home. Only if they really wanted it.

And all the friends were nodding eagerly. None of them meant it and it was clear to Bella that Minerva knew it. As the others were leaving Minerva pulled Bella and Harry into a hug. "Am I going to regret what you are all planning" she whispered.

Harry gave her a smile that remembered her from James and shook her head as she walked away.

The other thing Amelia found strange was that Sirius was demanding to go to Gringotts just before they went to the ministry. When they all entered the ministry they were asked to let their wands be scanned. Sirius smiled as he stepped forward. "I would love to hand over my wand, but when the ministry threw me into Azkaban. While I was innocent I tell you".

Minerva stepped forward and grabbed Sirius by the ear as she dragged him along. "Not now Sirius. That man can't help what the ministry did to you".

"But Mini I want my wand".

"NOT NOW" Minerva snapped.

The ministry employe gave a deep sigh of relieve when Sirius was dragged away by his former professor. "Thank you Professor" he mumbled.

"Don't think anything about it Mr. Long" Minerva said over her shoulder.

*#*

When they entered the Wizengamot chamber they saw that everyone had already taken their places. Sirius smiled as he looked at the Potter seat and saw that Bogrod was also there with all his guards around him. His eyes shifted to the middle of the room and saw a chair with chains hanging from the side.

Amelia took his arm and pulled him along to the chair. "They will stay down," she told him. But before he sat down the chains came to life and pinned him to the chair.

"What is this" Sirius screamed.

"Minister, you do know that this trial is nothing more than a formality to prove the innocence of Mr. Black through the Wizengamot and the wireless. It is something we already know so there is no reason for the chains" Amelia snapped as she gave a dirty look at Fudge.

Fudge did everything he could to not look at Amelia and went on with his welcoming speech while he gave Delorus the floor to start questioning Sirius.

*#*

Everyone in Potter castle was sitting around the wireless that was placed in the middle of the room. As they were all looking to that black box. When they heard the reporter saying that Sirius was placed in cuffs the moment he sat down.

It was easy to say that Potter castle was too small for a moment. To the astonishment of the friends, it were Ginny and Astoria who were screaming the hardest.

Harry who had been sitting in a chair the furthest away from the wireless could do nothing but laugh. While Fudge went on with his welcoming speech, Harry stood as he gazed around the room. "you are absolutely sure that this will work" he asked no one in particular.

Hermione and Bella weren't really sure but Susan and Daphne were nodding.

Neville was the only one who kept on listening to the wireless.

"It's starting" he shouted from out of nowhere. "I can hear Umbitch making herself ready to start asking her questions".

*What is your name sounded the voice of Umbridge through the wireless*.

*Sirius Black*.

*Were you the secret keeper of Lily and James Potter*.

*No it would have been me, but I never knew the secret. I convinced James to take Pete*.

Umbridge interrupted him before he could go on. *Were you a follower of He Who Must Not Be Named*.

*People who are not afraid of him, call him by his name and that is Lord Voldemort*.

*You have all heard it here people. Sirius was a follower of He Who Must Not Be Named. Because only his followers call him by his name* Sounded the voice of Umbridge out of the Wireless.

"Merlin's beard, that bitch is trying to get him back into Azkaban" Bella screamed as she came closer to the wireless.

While the others were nodding along Harry was remembered of the thought he had when they left his parents hidingplace. So he got up and walked over to the bookcase that stood in the corner. When he came back he placed the book down next to them as he looked at the grandfather clock that stood in the other corner of the room.

His look told the others that there was something on his mind that would be addressed when the trial of Sirius was done.

You have just admitted that you have been a follower of He who must not be named. sounded the voice of Umbridge from the wireless.

No, I did not Sirius snapped with a lot of venom in his voice. I'm, however, not as chicken as most of the ministry who don't even have the guts to call him by his name. I dare to call him by his name and I'm not like some of you here who were kissing his feet and ass. Like Malfoy did all that time ago.

Everyone in Potter castle heard how Lucius was screaming at Sirius for the disrespect he showed him. But also how Umbridge was trying to get them all to calm down. But the most wonderful thing was Fudge asking for an apology from Sirius to Malfoy.

I will not apologize for anything. And especially to that piece of shit who thinks he rules this place. I was found innocent by the minister and the head of the DLME. So I agreed to come here and answer all your questions again under truth serum. So give it to me already so that I can get a new wand you broke and finally go home.

The Wizengamot was shocked when Sirius snapped back and asked for truth serum himself. But what they didn't know was that all over the country were screams of joy as there was finally someone who took a stand against the minister. But none of them were louder than the screams in Potter castle.

So the suspense was almost unbearable in Potter castle and all over the wizarding world of England as they all waited for what the minister was going to answer. Amelia had told them that it could mean the fall of the ministry if Fudge would not handle it the right way. So when Umbridge started to ask the questions it was clearly the wrong thing to do. So the wait was for Fudge to find out if he could crawl out of the whole he was in or if he would dig himself further.

Sirius was dozed with Varatesirum and started to answer all the questions which took them another hour. Every answer was as it had been before and there was no way they could find him guilty of any crime other than being a smart ass.

We will take a break for thirty minutes, after that, we will go over to the voting of the houses Fudge told the Wizengamot.

This was the moment everyone in Potter castle had been waiting for. Daphne shot to her feet as she went and got the book of blood that belonged to Lily. In that book was a spell they were going to use in the hope to safe Sirius for what they were afraid would come. Of course, it would all come down to the voting and what they were voting for. But one thing was sure. Whatever it was it wouldn't be good for Sirius.

And their whole plan was built on the possibility that they were going to pull one over on Sirius. This was only because they knew that whatever happened, Sirius would never be truly free if they didn't help him.

So they waited and if it happened they would pull a blanket of fear over the Wizengamot one that hadn't been seen in more than three decades.

After the preparations were done they went to stand by the little portrait of Lilly as they listened to the wireless ones again.

Lily who had been looking over the shoulder of the kids said that it was all alright and they could do the ritual safely if they needed it.

In the entrance hall of Potter, an apparition sound sounded that told them that the final member for the spell had arrived."Hello Griphook, all is well I hope" Harry called out as the goblin entered the room.

"Ah Harry, yes, all is well, is all well with you all" Griphook asked as he walked over to the friends. "I'm here with the blood of Sirius and the order from my father to do what you all wanted me to do. Now he didn't say what it is but he told me to ask you if you are really sure about this". Griphook ended his speech as he placed the test tube with the blood of Sirius on the table.

Harry didn't say a thing and only nodded.

"It's starting again" Neville screamed as he almost shoved his ear into the wireless. All the friends rushed back to the wireless and listened to the spoke person of the Wizengamot.

*Alright, Witches, and Wizards all around England. I welcome you all back. If you just tuned in I will get you to where we are. Mr. Sirius Black has been found innocent long before he answered all these questions that were asked to him by the undersecretary Miss Delores Umbridge. The minister himself had already found Mr. Black innocent when he was captured at Hogwarts, so it is a mystery for us as to why Mr. Black is back on trial.

No, the most surprising thing is that Sirius claimed that the real secret keeper was nonother then Peter Pettigrew. Yes, I can hear you all say that he was the hero and died at the hands of Sirius. But it turned out that Peter was the real secret keeper and is still alive. He was seen by Minister Fudge. Miss Bones and the undersecretary herself. But more on that later, I see that the members of the Wizengamot are coming back so let's hear what it is all about*.

The uproar that sounded through the wireless let them know that there were still members who were seating themselves. The friends started to get nerves but went over to the table they had placed next to the wireless and took their place.

The table was a simple round table. On that table, they had drawn a pentagram.

So Harry placed himself by air.
While Daphne took her place by Water.
Susan took Land.
As Neville took his stand by Fire.

Griphook stepped closer to the table as he took the place of Sirius which was by the last point of the pentagram that said Spirit. With his eyes, he looked from fire to water, from earth to air to go over to Lily that was on the edge of her frame listening to Bella and Hermione who were now sitting next to the wireless.

When the wireless started again they could hear the voice of Amelia.

*During the break, I Amelia Susan Bones, the head of the ancient and Noble house Bones, but also the head of the DLME, had a little talk with the sitting minister of magic and his toa... Undersecretary*.

"Nice save," Hermione said to the others.

"Yes, we almost heard her calling on the sitting minister of magic and his toad," Bella said as she started to giggle as Amelia went on.

*I told him that we, I mean him, me and his undersecretary Deloris Umbridge. That we heard the sworn testimony from Peter Pettigrew that he was the one who killed those muggles and sold out Lily and James Potter to Lord Voldemort* and a lot of gasps sounded around the room.

*He told it all while we were at Hogwarts and he was dozed to the neck in veritaserum. It was not long after that, that the three of us questioned Mr. Black as he gave us the same answers. It told us that Peter was the spy for Voldemort* And the chamber was again filled with gasps. *And Sirius Black was innocent of all wrongdoing*.

Suddenly the voice of Umbridge sounded through the wireless. *Yes, Amelia, you were right. He is found innocent of the crimes. However we here at the ministry*.

*You aren't speaking for me, Umbridge* Amelia snapped at her.

*Like I said, We here at the ministry don't want Lord Black in our mitts while he has been in Azkaban. He by all things is clearly out of his mind and therefore a liability for the Wizengamot and in extension the ministry. So this voting will be about the black seats whether he keeps them or if they will be dispatch between our senior sitters and respected houses* she called out.

"That Bitch" Susan shouted at the wireless. "She just cut off my aunty like that. If I ever see her again I will kill her my self".

Everyone in Potter castle heard how Amelia responded but they couldn't hear a word she said because it was exactly the same moment Susan shouted at the Wireless like it was Umbridge herself.

It was then that they heard the voice of Fudge ringing out the wireless ones again. *I will be the one who will take the votes of all the houses. It will be clear and simple. A yes if you want house Black to keep his seats, or a no if you don't want house Black to remain in the Wizengamot. As for the voting, I will call on you and the first vote will be my own. I Cornelius Fudge minister of magic says No to a return of house Black into the Wizengamot. Now I call upon Lord Malfoy to give the vote for House Malfoy* Fudge said in a firm voice.

In Potter, castleBella shouted that they had to start now. Hermione shot to her feet as she turned the wireless to its maximum. Fudge would never be able to get Sirius back into Azkaban and was now doing what they were afraid they would do. The eight seats from house Black would be his if they didn't stop it now.

"Hurry up, Fudge already said no to house Black" Bella shouted again.

*I Lucius Malfoy vote No against the return of house Black in the Wizengamot*.

"Now" Lily screamed from out her little portrait.

Griphook placed his hand in the middle of the pentagram as he overflowed it with the blood of Sirius. "I Griphook of the house Bogrod and Miner house of the ancient and noble house of Potter. Will be representing Lord Black of the ancient and Noble house of Black, for the next hour as the blood brother of Lord Sirius Orion Black, so it is written so it will be".

*House of Nott, can I have your vote* sounded the voice of Fudge again.

Griphook went on "I Lord Black give up my responsibilities as lord of the ancient and noble house of Black to the houses of Bones Greengrass Potter and Longbottom until I take it back. So it is written so it will be".

*I Lord Nott, of the noble house of Nott. Vote against the return of house Black into the Wizengamot* sounded the voice of Lord Nott.

*Dumbledore Can we have your vote as chief warlock* Fudge asked.

*I Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, will vote against the return of the house of Black*.

Susan made a gut in the palm of her hand and laid her bloody palm on the hand of Griphook where the blood mixed together. "I Susan Amelia Bones. Heir to the ancient and noble house of Bones, I accept the responsibility from the house of Black until he takes it back and give my vote to House of Longbottom until house Bones takes it back. So it is written and so it will be.

*Amelia Bones, may we have your vote as head of the DLME and the house of, What is that on your left breast* Fudge suddenly shouted as he looked at the breast of Amelia.

*Minister, I don't like it if you are talking about my female parts. Not here, not now, not ever* Amelia snapped.

*I Amelia Susan Bones, Head of the house of Bones and Head of the DLME give my votes to the house of Black to stay in the Wizengamot*.

It was now that the friends were smiling because they could hear the mirth in the voice of Amelia.

Daphne took the knife from Susan and made a cut in her own palm. She placed her bloody hand on the bloody hand of Susan. "I heiress of the ancient and noble house of Greengrass. I accept the responsibility from the house of Black until house Greengrass takes it back and give my vote to House of Longbottom until house Greengrass takes it back. So it is written and so it will be.

*Delores Umbridge, may we have your vote as the undersecretary of the ministry, please*

*I Delores Umbridge, the undersecretary of the minister says no to the filthy house of Black to return to the Wizengamot*.

It was now the time that Harry took the knife and cut his palm. Where he laid his hand on the hand of Daphne, "I Lord Potter of the ancient and Noble House of Potter. I accept the responsibility from the house of Black until he takes it back and give my vote to House of Longbottom until house Potter takes it back. So it is written and so it will be".

*Lord Crabbe, may we have your vote, please*.

*Lord Crabbe, says No to the coming back of house Black into the Wizengamot*.

Neville was the last to take the knife. While he looked at the others. He slit his own palm and placed his hand on the hand of Harry. The moment this ritual started there was no way back. The only hope he had was that their Grangran would realize what they were doing. And that it was only to scare some people and to tell that the five houses stood together. "I Lord Longbottom of the ancient and noble house of Longbottom. I except the responsibilities of house Black and will treat it like it was my own. I give my vote and that of the other four houses to Augusta Longbottom, She may make the stand as the spoke woman and temporary head of house Longbottom. So it is written so it will be".

*Lord Crabbe, may we have your vote again*

What followed next was a very long period of silents. Just like it was at Potter castle. The friends were in suspense because they didn't know if their ritual has worked. The one who had the answer was Augusta Longbottom but there wasn't any sound coming from the wireless. So the only thing they had left was to wait and asked the god of Magic to help them out.

It took another twenty minutes before the spoke person from the ministry started to speak again. It was followed by a scream of joy and not only from Potter castle but from all over the magical Britan.

What happened in the Wizengamot.

"During the break, I Amelia Susan Bones, the head of the ancient and Noble house Bones, but also the head of the DLME, had a little talk with the sitting minister of magic and his toa... Undersecretary. I told him that we, I mean him, me and his undersecretary Dolores Umbridge. That we heard the sworn testimony from Peter Pettigrew that he was the one who killed those muggles and sold out Lily and James Potter to Lord Voldemort" and a lot of gasps sounded around the room.

"He told it all while we were at Hogwarts and he was dozed to the neck in veritaserum. It was not long after that, that the three of us questioned Mr. Black as he gave us the same answers. he told us that Peter was the spy for Voldemort" and the chamber was again filled with gasps. "And Sirius Black was innocent for all wrongdoing".

It was at this point that Amelia was roughly interrupted by The undersecretary of the minister.

"Yes, Amelia you were right. He is found innocent of the crimes. However, we here at the ministry".

"You aren't speaking for me, Umbridge" Amelia snapped.

Delores sniffed as she looked down her nose at Amelia. "Like I said, We here at the ministry don't want te Lord Black in our mitts while he had been in Azkaban. He by all things is clearly out of his mind and therefore a liability for the Wizengamot and in extension the ministry. So this voting will be about the black seats whether he keeps them or if we will dispatch them between our senior sitters and respected houses" she called out.

"This is an outrage" Amelia screamed. "You have no right to take away the seats of an ancient and noble house like that. Mr. Blacks has rights and his seats are one of them".

Before either of them could go over to a catfight it was the voice of Fudge that cut between them. "I will be the one who will take the votes of all the houses. It will be clear and simple. A yes if you want house Black to keep his seats, or a no if you don't want house Black to remain in the Wizengamot. As for the voting, I will call on you and the first vote will be my own. I Cornelius Fudge minister of magic says No to a return of house Black into the Wizengamot. Now I call upon Lord Malfoy to give the vote for House Malfoy" Fudge said in a firm voice.

"Just remember Dear old Lucie, that house Malfoy is still a minor house of House Black" Sirius snapped.

Lucius swallowed a little but he straightened his back. "I Lucius Malfoy vote No against the return of house Black in the Wizengamot".

"Good boy Lucie, now sit down before house Black will kick you out of the protection of house Black" Sirius snapped again.

"House of Nott, can I have your vote" sounded the voice of Fudge.

"I Lord Nott, of the noble house of Nott. Vote against the return of house Black into the Wizengamot" sounded the voice of Lord Nott.

"Dumbledor Can we have your vote as chief warlock" Fudge asked.

"I Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, will vote against the return of the house of Black".

"Amelia Bones, may we have your vote as head of the DLME and the house of, What is that on your left breast".

"Minister I don't like it when you are talking about my female parts. Not here, not now, not ever" Amelia snapped as she looked down at her left breast. She could bearly hold back the giggle. Because she now understood what the kids were doing and why they didn't want to come. Her eyes drifted to Sirius as she saw him sitting there with one fist in the air saying YES, YES, YES.

"I Amelia Susan Bones, Head of the ancient and noble house of Bones and Head of the DLME give my votes to the house of Black to stay in the Wizengamot" Amelia went on as if nothing happened.

Fudge shook his head and went on.

"Delores Umbridge, may we have your vote as the undersecretary of the ministry, please".

"I Delores Umbridge, the undersecretary of the minister says no to the filthy house of Black to return to the Wizengamot".

While Delores stood with her nose in the air, most of the members were looking with a little fear to the magical light that appeared on the robe of Augusta.

"Lord Crabbe, may we have your". Fudge stopped in mid-sentence as he saw another light appear on the chest of David Greengrass who had slowly started to chuckle like a little girl softly behind his hand.

The same light appeared on the chest of Minerva, her eyes became big and as she placed her mouth behind her hand and whispered: "Are they doing what I think they are doing".

Augusta didn't say anything but only nodded with the tiniest smile she could give.

Fudge swallowed hard and didn't know what to say and if he was honest he didn't really understand what was happening.

Delores saw the lights and rushed over to the place of the spoke person of the ministry that spoke for the Wireless. "Shut it down, shut it down now, or you can start looking for another job".

"Lord Crabbe may we" Fudge started again just before he turned pale as he saw another light on the chest of Minerva.

Several people started to shout as they were also seeing the lights coming from the robes of the different houses. It wasn't only the larger houses but also all the miner houses that fell under their protection.

"Lord Crabbe, may we have your vote again" Fudge tried again.

And the fear among the members of the Wizengamot grew as lights appeared on more robes and all the robes belonged to houses Black, Bones, Greengrass, Longbottom and house Potter. The fear was accompanied whit a lot of relief among the other members.

"Lord Crabbe, says No to the coming back of house Black into the Wizengamot".

Augusta stood as she saw the Patils and Davis mouthing silently that they were ready to make an alliance with the houses. She turned her attention back to the floor as she pointed to the new assembly of weapons from the houses on her robe. "Minister, I think you know what this means".

There was another silent that was slowly growing to an awkward state. Fudge opened his mouth and closed it as he saw Augusta looking at him as she interrupted him. "The way I see it, Lord black has placed his house under the alliance of our houses. I think it will be temporary but it still means that Lord Black has a right to vote. Wait a minute" Augusta said as she placed a finger under her chin. "To form an alliance like this you have to do it by blood. You also have to do it at Gringotts. Which means Sirius isn't Lord Black because he is here".

Fudge was just standing there with his mouth open as he thought about one thing. Please don't say it, please don't say it.

"I Augusta Longbottom, acting head of house Longbottom do hereby accept the voting rights of House Black, so it is written and so it will be".

Fudge took a very deep breath but just didn't know what he had to say. He gazed over at Albus as he heard him muttering one thing over and over again.

"those damn kids those damn brats".

Amelia and Sirius only looked at each other before they had to cover their mouth with laughter. It was clear to them that the kids had done something they would only do in their dreams. The friends had done something they had tried for the last year. The only question that remained was if the kids realized what they had done. As Amelia took the hand of Sirius she squeezed it a little.

Augusta took the floor again as she addressed the minister. "Minister, if I'm not mistaking, then I think there is something you have to say. Because I don't think the sitting is right". Augusta told him with a pointing look.

"No Augusta, I will not do it, I don't want to" Fudge told her in a childish way.

"Minister it is still Lady Longbottom for you. As acting head of house Longbottom, you can even address me as Lord Longbottom. But I would assume you knew that. But after all the blunders the ministry made I hope you would have learned that you should address us by our titles. Now as for the situation you are in now you have to make the announcement". Augusta snapped.

The eyes of Fudge went from left to right. From Albus to Lucius and then to Delorus. None of them stepped up to save him as he was too stubborn to realize it. Finally, he turned back to Albus just hoping he would help him out.

Albus sighed as he got to his feet. "Cornelius, it is what it is. I know of the ritual that is required to do this and it can only be done at Gringotts. It needs the blood of Lord Black and as you can see, Sirius is here so he is not Lord Black. That is also why he cannot be Lord Black. I do wonder who this Lord Black really is. But as uf now there is nothing we can do".

Amelia squeezed the hand of Sirius again and bent to his ear as she whispered. "I don't think the kids realized what they have done, but our time has come to rule the Wizengamot".

Sirius had a broad smile on his face. "No, but this is way better than every prank the Marauders have ever pulled".

The silent in the room became heavier and heavier. A lot of members were looking at Augusta with some fear as others were looking at her with hope.

Augusta just stood there as Amelia, Minerva, Isabella, David, and Sirius all smiled while Dan and Emma Granger were looking questionably at it all.
