Chapter Nineteen -Plea's and understandings
Minerva sat in a ten by ten room with Sirius, the only thing between them was a metal table with a metal bar in the middle where Sirius' hands were cuffed to.
"Remus didn't come?" Sirius asked, breaking the silence between the two of them.
"He's looking after Harry today," Minerva said, deciding not to tell Sirius the truth, that Remus wasn't going to come either way.
"I decided to come and talk to you. Do you know that they are offering you a plea deal? To check yourself in at St Mungo's and get the help that you need." Minerva explained, hoping that the man would take the plea, she really didn't want to see him end up in Azkaban due to his own stupidity.
"I don't need help" Sirius spat, "I am not crazy and I will not be locked up for doing the right thing"
"You will be locked up," Minerva spoke harshly.
"If you don't take this deal, you will be put back in Azkaban, buying a black market wand is illegal...no matter the reason. You are lucky that they are offering you this deal in the first place. "
"The only reason I did it was to protect Harry...he is taking my godson away from me!" Sirius said, slamming his hand on the table in anger.
"Severus has done no such thing. He has done more for that child than anyone else. He didn't shut you out, he lets you see Harry, in fact, he risked a lot getting you out of Azkaban when he didn't have to."
"Isn't he a saint?" Sirius remarked, rolling his eyes a little.
"Yes, he is," Minerva replied, "This is on you now, Severus can't get you out of this, the only way you can get out of going to Azkaban is for you to take the plea. If you have any chance of seeing Harry again...being in his life, you have to see that Severus is the best thing for him," Minerva told.
Sirius only scoffed at what Minerva said.
Minerva let out a sigh seeing that she wasn't getting anywhere with the man. Some people couldn't be helped if they didn't want it. Sirius hated Severus and it didn't look like he was going to get over his childhood hatred. Minerva never would have thought that Severus would be the bigger man and she had a feeling that Harry had something to do with it.
"I should be on my way then," Minerva spoke softly.
"I only came in hopes to talk you into taking the plea but now that I am here I can see that won't happen. Have a good life Sirius," Minerva said with a frown before standing up, pushing the chair in before leaving the room, not even looking back at the man.
Minerva did decide to stop at Zonkos and pick out something for Harry on her way home, making sure she picked something out that wouldn't annoy Severus too much. The last thing she needed was an ear full from Severus because she got Harry a noisy toy.
