Hey-o! Welcome to the fourth chapter! Damn, it's already fourth (how far we've come! *manly tears*)!

Alright, I think I've all but decided the final pairing(s). I might add a few more, but for now I think this is it, a Harry/Multi with the following women in it, let me know what you think:

Hermione (Sorry! I just love this pairing, even JKR admits it!)

Fleur (...Fourth Year fic, and no Fleur? Even the thought is blasphemy)

Daphne (I don't know why, but this pairing is just awesome)

Tonks (Not enough on this site)

Susan (Again, not enough on this site)

That's it for now. There might be another one, give me an idea, but for now I'll show you the idea of the OC, a friend gave this idea to me in PM, take a look:

Emily Jones (Half-Blood, Gryffindor, light Brown hair, turquoise eyes, the rest you can imagine yourself, I'm sure that you have a vivid imagination). I think it would be better to imagine everyone as anime characters. You can google 'Harry Potter Anime Style', they are cool.

I don't own Harry Potter or any of its characters except OC.

'Come on, Sue, you have to help me!' Harry said to a red-haired girl rather frantically, while said red-haired girl was there trying to pretend that she didn't know the boy. A few wizards and witches were staring curiously at the scene, while the redhead tried to fight down the blush as Harry grasped one of her hands. His rough, calloused hands, all from training that Oliver Wood is said to give them, in her own, if only he could let it wander...

Susan Bones shook her head from that particular train of thought. She really didn't need nearly every witch in Hogwarts in her case, nor did she want Ginny to kill her. The girl might have been starting to let go of her crush, but she wasn't willing to take that chance.

Harry had just randomly called her on a Muggle telephone, asking to meet her. She had happily said yes, after all, it had been quite a while since she had spoken to him. She had given him an address a few blocks from her house and he had arrived, much to her surprise, with her old Professor Lupin and a very large black dog.

Susan decided to stop before Harry had any more chance to speak, grabbing his arm and pulling him alongside her, unknowingly pushing his bicep into her rather large bust, before 'Harry, I can't just walk to my Aunt and say that she should make time for a friend of mine! You have to make a proper appointment to meet with the Head of DMLE!' She said, as she forced him to walk alongside her.

Harry scowled at the thought of waiting in a damn line for an appointment, 'Tell her that it concerns her fiancée, and that I have a-'

'Fiancée?! WHO?! YOU?!' She said in a panic, with wide eyes, the dog barked indignantly while Remus coughed in a poor attempt to hide his laughter as Harry sputtered. How the hell had she even get to that idea?!

'WHAT?! ME?! NO!' He said indignantly.

'I didn't even know she was engaged!' She hissed.

'Hey! I only found out a while ago, myself! Now can you?' He asked in a low tone. She shook her head again.

'...Harry, I don't know and I just can't go and ask her can I?'

'Sure you can! I'll be with you if I should!' He said confidently, Susan shook her head again.

'Harry, my Aunt will kill me if she learns that I let boys come home when I'm by myself!' She hissed. Harry stopped all of a sudden, making Susan stop herself, and blink. She turned to look at her, watching as a grin formed on his face.

'...I don't think I like that grin.' She said uncertainly, with a nervous expression on her face.

'Well, if it troubles you that much, I can always introduce myself as your boyfriend.' He said, making her blush brightly.

Boyfriend?! Susan panicked, wondering if he really would say that to her aunt. If Amelia hears that, she would kill her. 'Harry, this is blackmail!' She yelled at him, but he simply kept that dashing grin on his face.

'Oh yeah? Why are you getting flustered then?' He countered.

'I-that-that is-'

'Maybe you like the thought, Sue?' He said sensually.

'Harry! There isn't really a good way to answer that question!'

'Turn around Moony, Padfoot.' He said, Remus raised an eyebrow while Padfoot barked encouragingly, making Harry stare blankly at him. Remus chuckled before looking at his best friend's son,

'Alright, Harry. Make sure that you use protection.' He said sternly. Harry stumbled on his steps, as did Susan, both of them blushing slightly. Susan looked down, while Harry glared at the werewolf. Padfoot simply stood as he was.

'Padfoot, turn around. Now.' He said. Padfoot barked once.

'Padfoot, I'm not going to say this again, you are a freaking DOG!' He yelled at Padfoot, making the Animagus looked down in embarrassment.

'No, I'm not going to give you a show.' He said firmly, Padfoot whined disappointedly, but turned around anyway. Seriously, the boy is 16, yet hasn't had his first kiss yet? He was going to corrupt the boy into his and James' way the first chance he gets! Sure, Lily might murder him once he gets to meet them, but if his Pup would get to live his life and enjoy it the best he could, he could take a greeting with fists and feet. How James might react is something he should think of. Would he take his side, or would he take Lily's side out of fear? He shuddered at that thought.

Back to Harry he stared at Susan, who resembled a tomato more and more, 'So, Sue, what do I have to do to get that favor?' Harry surprised himself by acting like this. He was sure that if his mother saw him, she would probably kill him… okay maybe not kill him, per say, but might give him a thorough dress down.

Susan started, 'W-well, you don't have to do anything! I-I'll talk to her! Honest!' She said with a panicked expression on her face, though she herself wasn't sure why exactly she wasn't taking advantage of this situation. She wasn't because Ginny might kill her? Sure. The girl might. But the risks were worth it in her opinion! Harry was, and still is, one of, if not the most desirable Wizard in the entire Hogwarts! She was beginning to feel a bit stupid.

Harry gave her a look of disappointment; he wanted to see just how much he could go acting like his dad and oh god, Sirius. 'Are you sure about that, Sue?' He asked her suggestively.

Susan tried not to stutter, 'P-pretty sure yeah.' She said.

Harry smirked, 'Alright. The offers always open. So will you take us to your Aunt?' He asked her.

Susan tried to recover from the intense moment that Harry had practically forced upon her. When had he changed like that? Last year he was so prim and proper… well, behavior wise anyway, barely looking at any girl other than Hermione and on occasion, Ginny, but now…?

She shook her head, trying to fight down the blush, Why the hell isn't he moving away yet?! She screamed in her head, she took a deep breath and tried to focus on his soul-leering emerald eyes.

She couldn't.

She took another deep breath, '…Alright, I'll take you to Aunty, But please, don't tell her that you're my boyfriend!' She pleaded, only after which she realized how her words sounded, and mentally cursed herself when she saw a grin form on his face.

'Alright, I won't tell her about our… secret relationship, and don't worry, Remus and… Padfoot will be there.' He reassured her. Susan blinked.

'What does a dog has to do with this?' She asked, curiously. Harry mentally debated as to how he should explain this; finally he decided to go with,

'Your Aunt will understand once I explain it to her. So shall we?' He said. Susan smiled slightly,

'Alright. Let's go.'

'Ah, I'm so scared. I'm going to meet my secret girlfriend's Aunt for the first time. I need to find a way to survive this encounter!' He said in mock-panic, as he motioned Remus and Padfoot to follow.

Susan started, 'I'm not your secret girlfriend! Stop that!' She added when she saw that he was mock-weeping. Seriously, how the hell did he change so much over one freaking summer?!

'So, Ms. Bones,' Remus began when he saw that Harry was prepared with another line designed to fluster the poor redhead, Susan turned her face to him, 'are you going to take us to Amelia now?' He asked her politely.

Susan tried to glare at Harry, but he simply smiled charmingly at her, desperately trying to avoid another blush on her face she concentrated on Remus who looked as if he was trying his best to hold back his laughter, she replied 'Yes. I think that if I explain it to her about her fiancée, no idea who that is by the way, she might cool off and not kill me for bringing a boy to our house.'

Remus nodded, 'Thank you, Ms. Bones.' Noticing that she looked weary around him, he added, 'the full moon is not here yet, you have no need to worry.' He said chuckling.

Susan flushed at being called out, but smiled apologetically, 'Sorry, Professor Lupin. But from what we heard Professor Snape was telling us that you were a… well.' She fidgeted slightly not knowing how to say it to the man's face… at least until Harry interrupted her,

'What did he say?' He demanded.

'Harry-' Remus tried to interrupt.

'No Remus. That grease ball bastard is an idiot for holding a grudge on you guys after like eighteen years. Sue, what the hell did he say?'

Susan gulped, 'Well… He said that… he was not safe to keep around children… not really a great teacher, and a…' Harry prompted her to continue, 'Menace to the society.' She finished.

Harry was nearly shaking in rage now. How petty can one man be? After eighteen years, the man was preventing another man from making a livelihood, and for what? For petty things that they did nearly two decades ago?! No matter what his feelings for his mother might have been, doing something like that is cruel. Sure, he didn't like the fact that his dad, Sirius, Remus and maybe Pettigrew were bullying Snape, but taking it out on him just because he was the son of James Potter, a man who has been dead for a decade and a half, is already considered bad by some Slytherins themselves. Snape might have loved Lily Evans, but she chose James Potter, and taking it out on the fact that him, Remus and even Sirius were somehow acquainted to James Potter is stupid and petty. Snape saying such things, in front of Fudge no doubt, has probably travelled nearly all over Magical Britain, and, as much as Harry loathe to say it, the man is widely known as the best Potions Master in the entire Britain, so his word will be taken by a lot of people just by face value.

So petty.

'Harry, calm down.' Remus said. Harry snapped his head towards him,

'Calm down?! How can you ask me to calm down?! I saw the way you dress Remus. I know that you don't have a steady flow of income, and Snape practically making you lose your job is unforgivable!' Harry cried out in outrage.

'Harry, what's done is done. We can't change anything now. Let's forget about it and get back to what we came here for.' Remus tried to console. Harry narrowed his eyes at Remus. Harry himself could forgive a lot of things. He had forgiven a lot of people who probably didn't deserve it. He had forgiven the entire House of Hufflepuff after they had practically treated him like dirt. He could understand wanting to forgive and forget, and if Remus wanted to do that he could. If there was one thing he could not forgive and forget, it was people going after his friends. No more, Snape had to be dealt with. Who better than the Head of DMLE?

'Harry, are you okay?' Susan asked.

'Sure. Why?'

'You… well, you look constipated.' She said, Harry nearly fell over, as Remus howled in laughter. Harry's eye twitched, but he went rigid when he heard another laugh join Remus, making Remus himself stop and look back with wide eyes.

Sirius Black, no longer in his Animagus form, was gasping for breath on the floor, tears escaping his eyes as he was banging the ground in laughter. Transformation into an Animagus form required a lot of concentration, and maintaining it for a long time requires even more. Sirius had lost his concentration from the girl's sentence, making him revert to his usual form.

Harry and Remus exchanged a look, before Harry spoke,

'You're going to beat the crap out of him, or should I?'

'We'll take turns. It'll be me first since I'm older, and you next.'

'I agree. You're probably stronger than me anyway.'

'What do you want me to break first?'

'Leave the lower body to me. I'll break everything in the lower body by myself.' He cracked his knuckles, as Sirius stopped laughing and looked between both of them wildly.

'You're not really going to do that, right?' He practically squeaked.

'Sure. We'll just ignore the fact that you showed yourself on a crowded street,' Sirius looked around, there was practically no one on the street, but Harry ignored it, 'in front of a friend whose Aunt happens to be the Head of DMLE. Sure, we'll ignore it.' Harry said sarcastically.

'Really Padfoot? Here? Now?' Remus asked him, defeated.

'Hey, it was funny!'

'The hell it was!'

'Sure. But now what?'

'Maybe you should concentrate on the girl first?' He offered.

Harry and Remus turned to look at Susan, who for a minute looked confused as to who the now black haired man was, before recognizing him, turned pale and was looking around her frantically. Harry, noble and kind Harry Potter had led Sirius Black, the only man to ever escape from Azkaban to her? And they wanted to meet her Aunt? She turned even whiter as she remembered that her parents were killed by Death Eaters, a group that Sirius Black was known to be a member of. Did he want to kill her Aunt too? Maybe even her?

Harry looked at Susan, 'Sue, calm down.' He said, knowing what she was thinking. She looked at him as if he was a mad man.

'Calm down?! How could you bring him here Harry?! Why?!' She looked like she might cry as she looked fearfully at him.

Harry raised his hands, 'Susan, I promise, nothing will happen to you or Madam Bones! We won't hurt you.' He said reassuringly.

Susan shook her head, 'I don't believe you! You brought him here! He's a killer!' Harry flinched at the fear in her eyes and the tremble in her voice. Susan gulped as she looked fearfully at a sheepish looking Sirius before crying out, though in hindsight it was probably a bad idea.

'HELP! HE-' Harry moved forward and pressed a hand against her mouth and pushed her against a wall, pressing his body to Susan's. He then grabbed both of her wrists and pinned them above her head with one hand. He mentally sighed as he realized that he had probably scared her even more than she already was. He really didn't like to see any of his friends afraid, especially because of him. He tried to keep his face calm as he looked at Sirius, who rubbed the back of his head sheepishly,

'I might look calm now, mutt. But in my head, I've already killed you three times by now.' He said, and Sirius looked down, embarrassed, and chastised and slightly fearful as to what might happen.

Harry turned back to Susan who looked at him wide-eyed and struggling against him, 'Sue, I give my word as a Wizard, he'll not hurt you! Please don't shout! I'll explain everything if you calm down!' He hissed.

She shook her head as best as she could with his hand against her mouth and he sighed, 'Please, Susan. I'll take an Oath if I have to. Please listen to me. Sirius is innocent and we have proof of that.' He pleaded.

Susan stopped moving and looked at him shocked, but Harry didn't take his hand off, 'Sirius never betrayed my parents, it was Peter Pettigrew.' He said. When he saw that she didn't react, he continued, 'yeah, I know what you're thinking. Pettigrew is not dead. In fact he was the one that betrayed them to Voldemort.' He ignored the immediate tensing of her body when he said the name, 'Yeah. Scary name, right? Anyway, Sirius got out of Azkaban to find him, and it turned out that Pettigrew was hiding as Ron's stupid rat. Fitting isn't it? Are you with me so far?' He asked her and she nodded as well as she could.

'Great! Next, I find out that Sirius is in fact my Godfather!' Susan's eyes widened for the nth time that day, but Harry continued, 'I hope you know about the Magical Bonding ritual? Yeah, Sirius took part of that ritual and he Magically cannot betray me even if he wanted to. Not that he would. A dog is a man's best friend right?' Harry joked and Sirius snorted, but shut up as Harry and Remus glared at him.

Susan still looked a bit scared, but Harry was willing to take a risk, 'Okay, Sue, I'm going to take away my hand, and please, please, please don't scream. Sirius will look like a dog and your Aunt probably won't recognize him like that. So please don't say anything. I promise that you will not be hurt and neither will your Aunt.' When she still looked conflicted he sighed,

'Come on throw me a bone here… no pun intended.' He added when he was met with blank looks.

Susan didn't know what to think right now. On one hand, she could believe Harry. He has never lied to her as far as she remembered him for the past three years, and he looked like he was telling the truth and Professor Lupin was a kind man and probably wouldn't hurt her. But Harry's theory sounded insane. It might be true, all the pieces add up, but Sirius Black was thrown into Azkaban. Nobody was thrown into Azkaban when they were innocent, at least that's what her Aunt told her, and she sounded quite bitter about it for some reason. On the other hand, she could bite his hand, kick him in the balls, and then she could try and take her chances against Remus Lupin and Sirius goddamn Black and try to escape, screaming obscurities and 'freedom!' along the way like some sort of badass.

Yeah, the choice was pretty obvious.

Resigned, she nodded weakly and Harry dropped his hand, but still stood quite close to her, making sure that she wouldn't escape and scream. She made no attempt to move him out of the way, instead she was feeling that she was missing the feeling of his hand against her mouth. Harry looked at her seriously, making her gulp she took a tentative look at Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. The former looked a bit scared while Remus looked calm and collected. Finally she looked back at Harry Potter's green eyes and slumped, her head falling on his chest. Harry was startled, but held her up.

'Damn you, Harry.' She whispered as Harry smiled.

'Sorry, Sue. Blame Sirius.' He said ignoring the 'hey!' from the said man. Susan weakly lifted her head off Harry's chest before glancing at Sirius again, taking a look at Lupin before looking at Harry once again,

'…Fine but if she attacks you I don't know anything.'

'Sure.'

'I can assure you that she won't, Ms. Bones.' Remus said calmly, 'at least she won't unless you explain everything before we have the chance to. Besides, she wouldn't attack Sirius even if she didn't believe him.' Sirius smiled at that, startling Susan. She looked at Remus and asked,

'What do you mean, Professor?'

'Please, Ms. Bones. Call me Remus. I am no longer your teacher. Anyway, what I mean is that the fiancée that Harry mentioned is, in fact, Sirius Black.' Susan looked at him shocked, and Harry chuckled at the look on her face. Sirius looked at the girl, she looked so much like her mum it was ridiculous.

'You know, when I first saw you I thought you were Victoria.' Sirius said softly to the girl, surprising her and making both Remus and Harry to look at him oddly. Sirius ignored them and spoke to her looking at her grey eyes, 'the girl was only a year before us that is, me, James, Remus and… well. Your dad was the same year as us, but in Ravenclaw.' He said.

'To be honest, Amy didn't really like me at first. To be honest not a lot of people did. But in our Fifth Year, right about the time when I stopped doing things that made people dislike me and stopped being a huge asshole to everyone, she admitted to having a crush on me, and not knowing how to express it, she pretended to hate me.' He continued. Even Harry didn't make any comment as he knew how sensitive this topic is to Sirius.

'Your dad didn't like that. Neither did your mum, and she tried to convince her that I wasn't all that she thought I was.' He chuckled at the memories, not all of them were with the Marauders and Lily, 'Amy, being the little firecracker that she was, didn't listen and insisted on going out with me.' He looked at Susan, noting that she didn't look scared anymore,

'After a while your dad relented. When we were twenty, you were born to Victoria and Oliver, and you peed on me when I picked you up,' Remus rolled his eyes. Trust Sirius to bring such a thing into a conversation like this.

'At the same time we got engaged and were all set to marry, but then...' Sirius eyes seem to burn with the intense amount of anger and hatred that seem to swim in them, so much so that that Remus, Harry and Susan nearly flinched. If Sirius was a Lion Animagus Harry was sure that Sirius would look ready for a hunt, 'Pettigrew...' He growled out the name, 'That piece of shit coward, betrayed my best friend, my brother in nearly everything, and his wife, orphaning his one year old son...' Harry looked down at that, 'giving out the location of Longbottom manor,' Susan and Harry's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, Remus, who already knew all of this, kept quiet, 'Then he finally pinned the blame on me. Forcing me to endure hell in Azkaban. No one came for me. A Death Eater in a nearby cell got his daughter to visit him, but I didn't. Amy couldn't do anything as everyone convinced her that I was not innocent and a murderer. They made her believe that I got a trial, when I didn't. Is it any wonder that I want to see her Susan? Even if she arrests me, even if she slaps me, even if she kills me... I want to see her. I've put it off long enough because I was a coward. But now? No more.' He said firmly. Harry smiled at his Godfather, while Remus slapped him on his back, while Susan looked contemplative,

'You never got a trial?'

'No. I was just thrown in there, without a Veritaserum trial.' He said bitterly, and Susan had immediately made her decision.

In front of her was a man, an innocent man who had to spend fourteen years in Azkaban for no reason with only the Dementors as company. She shuddered as she remembered those vile creatures that roamed Hogwarts last year, and this man had to spend over a decade in their company. Sirius Black had always been innocent, and he had been framed by a so called 'hero'. A traitor got an Order of Merlin while an innocent man rotted in Azkaban? A man who should by all rights and purposes been her uncle by marriage, by now? She knew that he was telling the truth with the way he spoke of his past. He really was in love with Amelia Bones. He loved his friends like they were his family. Hell, by the way he spoke, they probably were.

Peter Pettigrew, a traitor, acknowledged as a hero to the Wizarding World. That man was the reason Neville had his parents in St. Mungo's. The reason Harry had to grow up an orphan. A member of the group that killed her parents. A member of the group that forced Theodore to live with his insane Grandfather, because his father was an insane member of that group.

The man that is the reason Sirius Black was in Azkaban.

Her eyes glistened with tears at the suffering of the man. She now felt guilty for everytime she cursed the man, believing him to be the reason her parents were dead. Well, they weren't. But he was the only one alive who she could take her frustrations out on. She had hated him for no reason.

'Please, Sue...' Harry pleaded, grasping her hands and holding them in front of them.

Susan nodded firmly, and Sirius' smile was warmer than anything she had ever seen.

'Susan where is- is that Harry Potter?' Amelia Bones asked as she caught the sight of the raven-haired teen that was sitting next to her. Harry smiled and waved merrily at her, taking in her form.

She was a woman of average height, considerable shorter than his 5'8 with her 5'5. While technically wasn't old by any means, she had an emotionless look in her eyes, that only seem to give a flicker of emotion when she looked at Susan. Her red hair was lighter in shade than Susan's by a few shades, but was still darker than his mother's, the woman had light blue eyes, delicate eyebrows, and full lips. Harry could see why Sirius liked her.

Speaking of Sirius, Padfoot stood up and looked at the love of his life after... so long. She hadn't changed much, if at all. The only thing that seemed to have changed, much to his grief, were her eyes. Her usually bright blue eyes, filled with warmth were emotionless. They looked haunted. He had seen such eyes.

They were much like his own.

Remus smiled at Amelia, she looked much like the same, though her eyes caused him a bit of a concern. He stood up, but nearly flinched back from the emotionless gaze that she gave him. Only a spark of recognition and a fake smile that nearly made him wince, in the face that used to so expressive.

At this point he wasn't sure if he could hate Peter anymore, but seeing one of his good friends like this made him rethink that.

Harry smiled, his usual fake, bright and charming ones at her, after he finally had a good look at her. Her mental state reminded him much of Sirius, to Sirius it was probably him and Remus as his only reason to live. To Amelia, it was probably Susan.

'Greetings, Lady Bones. It is nice to finally meet you.' He said grasping one of her hands that she outstretched and kissed her knuckles. Harry had asked Susan about the Pureblood laws that Narcissa had told him about. It was apparently a huge deal in the Wizarding World. Apparently the family can call on a House feud if one of the laws was not followed properly. Plus, and this really pained him to admit it, Narcissa was being lenient towards him, she probably knew that he grew up in a Muggle family. Another thing that pained him to admit was the fact that if you don't shake a heir or a Lord's hand you are practically insulting them. According to Susan, it meant that he couldn't be bothered to shake the hand of the person who was offering it, since they were beneath him. Then it dawned on him that on the first day of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy had offered him his hand, and Harry had refused to shake it. Practically instigating the feud between him and Draco. No wonder the blonde had it out for him. He had basically said it to the blonde's face that he wasn't worth his time.

'Greetings, Heir Potter. It's nice to meet you as well.' She said, smiling slightly.

Fake. It was hard to hide the fakeness of a smile from him, 'It's Lord Potter, now Lady Bones.' Amelia's eyes widened slightly.

'I see. My apologies, Lord Potter. But may I enquire as to why you are here?' She asked him. Harry smiled brightly at her, making her eyes narrow. Fake.

'Well, you see, I have business that pertains to the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter and Most Ancient and Noble House of Bones. Private Business.' Amelia looked surprised at the news, but nodded.

'Very well, Lord Potter.' She looked at Remus and Padfoot, the latter who was staring at her with an unreadable expression in his silver-blue eyes, eyes that were very, very familiar to her. Sirius...

Harry noticing where she was looking spoke up, 'Ah, both of them can be trusted. You can have anyone you trust completely with you as well, Lady Bones.' Amelia looked at him strangely, but slowly nodded.

She cast the most powerful privacy charms. No one outside would be able to hear any part of this conversation. She motioned for Harry to sit down on one of the couches, and Susan sat beside him, surprising her. Remus sat down on one of the chairs beside the couch, while Amelia herself sat down on the couch opposite to them. Harry had to nudge Padfoot with his foot to make him snap out of his staring of the woman. Padfoot took a seat next to the couch, never taking his eyes off the woman.

Amelia decided to start, 'Lord Potter, since you were raised by Muggles, I'll excuse this one time. This is not how a formal meeting between two Most Ancient and Noble Houses are supposed to take place.' Susan shot him a 'I told you so' look, which Harry ignored and nodded.

'I know that, Lady Bones.' Amelia raised an eyebrow.

'Then...?' She prompted. Harry leaned forward in his couch.

'You see, the information I have is personal to you.' Amelia's entire demeanor changed. Her blue eyes went cold, and her expression became even more guarded than before and she looked like a brick wall, nearly impenetrable.

'Oh?'

Nearly.

'Yes, M'Lady. It is related to one Lord Sirius Orion Black.' He replied, and his face went carefully black as she flinched. Her features showed shock for the first time, and it was the only true emotion that wasn't faked as far as he could see.

Amelia stared at the Boy-Who-Lived in utter shock. Could he know about her engagement? She knew that only Sirius, Victoria and Oliver knew about it. Sirius had sworn that he had not even told James and Lily about it. Did he lie about it?

Wouldn't exactly be the first time. She thought as she glared at nothing in particular. How everything had gone wrong. At one moment she had been engaged, her brother was married to Victoria and she became an Aunt. And then the very next moment, both her brother and his wife were dead, Frank and Alice were in St. Mungo's Mental Ward, and worst of all Sirius Black, the man she had loved with all her heart, the man she was set to marry, the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, the man she wanted to start a family with...

The man who had betrayed his best friends to Voldemort. The man who had joined Voldemort as one of his loyal followers. The man who had betrayed her.

She closed her eyes as the wounds that have forcefully been closed reopened, creating phantom pain in her heart. Why? Why did the boy had to bring this up? Why did the boy had to remind her that Sirius was still out there somewhere? The Ministry were already on her back to bring more forces together to catch him, and when told that she was doing the best she could, they told her to do better. When objected, they simply asked her if it was for 'personal' reasons. The would had been forcefully sealed shut by herself, had been partially opened by Sirius escaping, and now...

Damn you, you bastard. I hate you... I hate you... She couldn't keep it up, since deep down she knew it wasn't true. She knew what the truth was and it scared her.

Instead she asked Harry, 'I-I see. Do you have information of his whereabouts?' She said as professionally as she could.

Harry kept his face as blank as he could, 'In fact, I do.' Amelia closed her eyes and took a deep breath to keep her emotions in check.

'Good. Though I fail to see how this is a personal matter, Lord Potter.' She said.

Harry sighed, there was no going the easy way, he had to break the door down, 'Lady Bones, I know of your's and Sirius' engagement.' He said bluntly.

She flinched once again, but answered with a slight hint of emotion in her voice, '...I see. Do not worry, Lord Potter. I assure you that it won't get in the way of my work. You will be safe from Siri- Black, rest assured.'

Harry wasn't exactly the most patient of individuals at the best of times, but this woman was so guarded that it was beginning to annoy him, 'I guess there is no way to bring this softly, I'll get straight to the point. I know he is innocent and I have proof.'

For a moment Amelia didn't say anything, her mouth opened and closed several times. Harry waited patiently for her to get back her bearings, which will probably be a while. Harry looked at Susan, who looked at her Aunt with a worried expression on her face. Harry grabbed her hand, and she turned back at him, he smiled reassuringly, making her own lips twitch upwards.

Harry continued once again, 'There was no trial that had taken place for him. No Veritaserum test to prove his innocence. Nothing. In doing so, the Ministry has not only, for the lack of a better word, kidnapped the man known as Sirius Black but also the Lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black.'

Amelia stared at him for the longest of time, Harry knew that he saw a faint glimmer of hope in her blue eyes, 'What proof do you have of this?'

Harry didn't miss a beat, 'His record in Gringotts still show him as the Lord of House Black. But more importantly, Sirius had undertaken the Magical Bonding ritual, I trust you know what that means?' He asked her. She nearly fainted at that tit-bit of information.

Magical Bonding rituals are well known, but not used for the most part. It is basically a glorified Unbreakable Vow, except you only lose your magic, leaving the person who breaks the vow a squib. Sirius had escaped from Azkaban and had managed to avoid capture until now, meaning that he still has the use of his magic. Though most of the times, if the person has indeed gone against the Magical Bonding, you also lose your life since the magic in the person's body is ripped out violently. The person is lucky if they still have the use of their body after that. The choosing of a Godfather is done very carefully and only with the consent of the person chosen will the ritual be successful.

She swallowed down the emotion that was threatening to burst and said, 'Do you have any proof?' She asked, her emotion betraying her professional tone, making Harry smile, and he replied,

'Yeah-I mean yes. I have the documents from Gringotts, as well as my parent's will in which they have written that Sirius was not their secret keeper, but instead Peter Pettigrew was. Yes, he is alive,' He said noticing her opening her mouth to say something, 'and he is a Death Eater. He has been staying as the Weasley family rat without their knowledge since he accused Sirius of being guilty.' He finished.

Amelia looked at him, the son of her friends, Godson of her fiancée, the man that could help Sirius get free? But the question was did she believe him? The will cannot be replicated, nor can the Potter's magical signature. She had the Authority to call for Sirius' trial, since she can tell them that she had found evidence that Sirius Black had been denied a trial. This was one of the time that her authority trumped that of the Minister. She had no intention of going to Dumbledore of this, the man was simply too manipulative, but she wanted to know if Harry had not gone to Dumbledore first.

'What about Dumbledore? Did he know?' Harry shook his head.

'Dumbledore didn't cast the Fidelius Charm, and he wasn't there when my mum and dad choose the secret keeper. He didn't know about the Magical Bonding ritual either. The man might be a manipulative old coot, but he isn't cruel.' He said.

Amelia nodded slowly, and swallowed the lump in her throat. She looked at Remus, her old year mate, 'Remus.' She said with emotion.

Remus smiled at her kindly, 'Hello, Amelia. Quite the rollercoaster huh?' He said with a grin.

Amelia smiled tiredly, '...Is-do you know where Sirius is?' She said. Remus nodded but his face went serious (no pun intended).

'But before that Amelia, I want to know if you believe us?'

Amelia closed her eyes, seeing those familiar silver-blue eyes... wait, silver-blue eyes? She snapped her eyes open and looked at the dog, who was still staring at her, not making a single sound.

'Do you?' She turned back to Harry, who was waiting for her answer. She took a deep breath,

'Yes. I do. Anything for Sirius.' She said. Harry grinned at her.

'Damn, you got it bad.' He said, making her blush slightly, and he continued, 'Alright, mutt. Enough staring, give the lady her surprise.' He said to the dog, with a happy smile on his face.

The 'mutt' glared at Harry a moment before turning into Sirius a moment later, making Amelia gasp, but before she could even comprehend what happened, Sirius had crashed into her, wrapping his arms around her, and actually lifting her off the ground.

Harry smiled at that, and grabbed Susan's hand and whispered in her ear, 'Let's leave them alone for now.' He said and she nodded.

Amelia slowly wrapped her arms around Sirius, and pressed her face into his chest, breathing in the familiar scent.

'You stink, Siri.' She said, softly as tears made their way into her eyes. She also felt something wet on top of her head, as his chest rumbled with the sensation of his chuckles. Sirius held her tighter, and whispered to her,

'I love you too, Amy.' She bit her lip, but soon crumbled into his arms.

Sirius closed his eyes and thanked his godson. He really loved that kid.

Ohhh, the angst... This is far as the emotion goes guys. More humor incoming in the next chapter. After all, everyone loves a trial!

Peace.
