A/N: this chapter might be bad and a mess. Can someone tell me if it is? I'm sorry if it is. This is my first time writing something like this. Anyway, enjoy.

The trial came. Sirius was not ready for the trial. Sirius rolled over in his bed with a sigh. He then let out a grown and got out of bed. Sirius ran a hand over his face as he walked up to Harry's room. He then pushed the door open with a smile. "Pup. Harry, it's time to wake up," Sirius said as he walked over to Harry's bed. Harry opened his eyes with a smile and looked at him.

"Siri," Harry said with tiredness in his voice. Sirius knew that it was so early in the morning, but they had to get ready for the trial. Harry rubbed his eyes and looked at the tired worried look on his Godfather's face. "What's wrong?" Sirius heard Harry's voice shake.

"Harry….um…. I'm fine. Just a little nervous. Come on we…...we need to get ready. We have that trial to go to," Harry looked at him with fear in his eyes.

"He, he won't hurt me, right?" Harry asked as he got out of bed. Sirius nodded.

"I…I will be right there with you Harry. I will never leave you," Sirius said as he picked up Harry and walked out of the room and down the stairs.

Despite his nerves, Sirius has to admit Harry looked so cute in his suit. Sirius smiled at him. "Alright…Are you…...you ready puppy?" Sirius asked voice shaking with nerves. Harry nodded as he took Sirius's hand. Sirius walked to the door and down the road.

"I think it will be ok Siri," Harry said as they walked down the road. Sirius nodded, however, he did not say anything. Sirius took this time to think. Think about what will happen. What he was going to say and to protect Harry from everyone. He should worry about what people will say to him. Sirius let out a sigh once they walked to the courthouse.

"Okay, Harry. we can do this," Harry nodded as Sirius picked up the boy.

Sirius walked in with Harry in his arms. However, he paused to take a breath. Then he walked in after a minute. Sirius walked up to the desk and took another breath and said: "We are here for the Dursley vs Harry Potter case trial," Sirius said. He was happy because he did not stutter when he said this. The person at the desk nodded.

"Names?" She asked. Sirius sighed and said:

"Sirius Orion Black and Harry James Potter," Sirius said trying not to let his nerves slip through his voice, but you can still hear it. The lady nodded and said:

"The courtroom is down the hall," Sirius nodded shaking a little. Sirius then walked down the hall with nerves forming inside of him.

Harry looked at the big doors that led to the courtroom. "Okay let's go, Harry," Sirius said as he pushed the doors open and sat down. He put Harry next to him as his lawyer walked in. Sirius stood when he saw him.

"Lord Black," Sirius nodded as he held out a shaky hand. He was glad that he got a wizard lawyer to help him with this. The lawyer smiled and took Sirius's hand.

"Call me Sirius, please. I don't really like using my title," Sirius said looking at Harry.

"Sorry. You can call me Ed then," Sirius smiled and nodded to Harry. "This must be Harry?" Harry looked up at the mention of his name then he looked away in fear. Ed saw this and sighed. "I see. Is this the doing of his…..." Sirius nodded cutting him off.

"Yes. You are right. This is all…. all my fault," Sirius said not hiding his stutter now. Ed nodded and sighed.

"It's not your fault. I'm going to call you this one more time: Lord Black it's not your fault," Sirius sighed and nodded as he sat down. Sirius sat down also. However, he was more nervous than before.

"I call Sirius Black to the stand," Ed said to the court. Sirius nodded to Harry. Harry nodded back as he moved the chair around. Sirius smiled at the five-year-old. Sirius took a deep breath and walked up to the stand.

"State your full name," Sirius nodded and took a deep breath hoping that his stutter did not come into his talking.

"Sirius Orion Black the third," Sirius said with nerves in his voice however they were gone once he thought of Harry.

"Is it true Mr. Black that you were in prison for five years for murder, but you got out because you are innocent?" Sirius sighed and nodded.

"Yes sir," Sirius replied. He felt like he was talking to his father again. However, he did not think about that because he needed to think about Harry at the moment.

The boy is your Godson correct," Sirius nodded and looked at Harry who was watching him now.

"Yes, sir,"

"Ok tell me what you found when you went to pick up your Godson," Sirius nodded. He knew that he was going to have a hard time saying this because of his stutter.

"When…when I arrived. I…I was so happy to pick up Harry. However, when I…I knocked on the door. Harry's uncle looked at me with such…such hate in….in his eyes. It….it scared me because…...because I knew that…. that Harry's aunt hated her sister…...Harry's mother…...Anyway…I told him that I was here to pick up…. up Harry. Mr. Dursley he…...he made his way to shut the door in my face. When…. when he did, I saw…. saw Harry holding his arm. I…...I knew that he was hurt. Then I saw Harry's uncle push Harry to the ground. Harry was out. When I walked into the house, I asked Mr. Dursley were Harry's room was. I saw him point to the small door in the hall. Harry's room was the cupboard under the stairs," Sirius had angry tears in his eyes and falling down his face, but he kept his temper in check.

"Thank you, Mr. Black," Sirius nodded and walked back over to where Harry was sitting again.

Sirius was nervous as they waited for the results. However, he was playing with Harry and it was somewhat calming him down. Ed walked over to him with a smile. "Sirius, can I ask you something?" Sirius looked at him and nodded. "Do you see yourself in Harry Potter?" Sirius looked at him and sighed.

"Yes. I do. I blame my mother for that. I'm glad that I have friends who understand me. I want to get Harry a friend his age to understand him too," Sirius sighed as he closed his eyes and then opened them again when he saw Azkaban. Sirius ran a hand over his face and through his long black hair. Ed did not need to say anything at this. All he did was nod. A few minutes later the group was called back in. Sirius was nervous again. However, Harry tensed in his arms while they waited for the results.

"Mr. Dursley. You are charged with child abuse and will be sentenced to 13 years in prison. Mrs. Dursley, you are also sentenced to 13 years in prison. You both also lost custody of your nephew Harry James Potter and your son. Take these two away please," Sirius smiled darky at this as he watched as the Dursleys were dragged out of the courtroom. "Mr. Black?" Sirius snapped out of his dark thoughts and looked at the judge.

"Yes, sir?" Sirius asked no longer nervous.

"Congratulations," Sirius nodded and then smiled a big smile as he walked out of the courtroom laughing.

"Harry, did you hear that?" Sirius said once they walked down the road. Harry, however, was asleep in his arms. Sirius smiled and let out a quiet breath. "Have a nice sleep Harry. I love you," Sirius whispered as he walked up to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Sirius quietly opened the door and stepped inside. Sirius felt a whole lot better when he put Harry down in his bed. He then kissed Harry on his scar and walked into his study.

When Sirius walked in, he closed the door and sat down at the desk. Then he pulled out his quill and wrote:

"Dear Moony,

"Don't worry everything is fine. I will tell you later on why I'm so happy. Oh, I can't believe that I have Harry now and no one can take him away from me. How are you doing I have not heard from you in a while? I'm thinking about inviting Andromeda and her daughter, I don't think I know her name. I don't think I have ever met her. Maybe Harry can play with her. Write back when you get this.

Talk to you soon,

-Sirius."

Sirius read over the letter with a smile and gave it to his owl. He smiled when he watched him fly out the window. Free, that owl was free. Sirius is free. Free to live his life, free to raise Harry. Free from his mother, father and the stupid ministry that thought that he was guilty. Sirius smiled as he looked out the window thinking about all the stuff he can do now. He loved that world: Free. "I'm free. Oh, Merlin…. I'm… I'm free," Sirius called out the window to the streets below. Sirius then turned into Padfoot and ran around the study making all of his father's old papers fall on the ground. Soon the whole room was a mess. The dog then walked over to the window and looked out of it again and barked. He barked and barked until he could not do it anymore. Soon the black dog was asleep on the messy floor of his father's study.
