Chapter 6 – Meeting An Angel and A Black Trial.

Harry's eyes widen as he reads the list of women he had to marry. Some of them were descendant's of lines long dead, others he'd heard of from Neville when they were speaking earlier and he'd told Harry the names of some of his classmates. He is thankful however that House Potter has no contracts drawn up and for his first wife he can choose who to love and marry, though he thought to himself that he'd undoubtedly find himself loving all 8 of his wives. His eyes glaze over the list again.

Harry James Potter

Betrothed to:-

1. ? – Potter - no contract drawn up, free to marry whomever he wishes

2. Daphne Greengrass (11) – Black – the contract is for the heir of House Black, no contracts drawn up for the Head of House.

3. Susan Bones (11) – Gryffindor – contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

4. Nymphadora Tonks (13) – Slytherin - contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

5. Hannah Abbott (11) – Peverell - contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

6. Fleur Delacour (14) – Ravenclaw - contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

7. Padma Patil (11) – Pendragon-Le Fey - contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

8. Ginevra Weasley (10) – Hufflepuff - contract for next Lord, or heir depending on Lord's age

"May I ask who this Fleur Delacour is? As she's the eldest she'll be Head Wife until Harry finds a wife for House Potter" Lily enquires politely.

"Miss Delacour is the eldest daughter of the French Magical King, Jean-Luc-Sebastien Delacour II. The Delacour family are the oldest Magical family in France and are, as stated earlier, the Royal Family of Magical France. They are also very prominent in Muggle France, and the King works hand in hand with the French Minister, who knows about the Wizarding World, as does the Muggle Prime Minister and Queen of Muggle Britain. Your son, being the last Pendragon, though through his relation with Morgana Pendragon Le-Fey and Merlin Emrys in being the descendant of their eldest child, could pull Excalibur from its stone, and along with the other wielder, his elder cousin, Wyatt, rule the Wizarding World of Britain and be its King, with Wyatt being the next in line for the throne until Harry has a child with his betrothed wife for the Pendragon – Ley Fey line, then it'll go on to the eldest of his other children from there on, as line of succession follows." King Ragnok explained to the three, who sat in awe of the political power they had just gained, despite being politically powerful anyway from the House of Potter alone, Marlene being a cousin of James' as her mother is his father's older sister.

"Young Harry, to be able to claim your Lordships and your title of King, you need to put on your Head of House Rings and pull Excalibur from its stone, I believe your aunt Piper has the stone and Excalibur safe in her attic somewhere, I would recommend fetching your cousin and his parents to explain what is going on" Ragnok says to the young man, who nods.

'Aunt Piper, get Uncle Leo to fetch you, Wyatt and the stone holding Excalibur to us please.' Harry thinks, pushing this thought from his mind and through the link he'd set up with her. A second later Piper, Leo and Wyatt orb in, along with the stone holding the King Sword and look at Harry and Lily in confusion. Lily explains to Piper the situation, and after speaking with Wyatt to see if he agrees to this, Harry pulls the Sword from the stone and a crown and his Kingly Robes shine into being on his body, the crown resting on his head and the robes fastened neatly on his person. A smaller crown appears on Wyatt's head and a Ring shines onto his finger with the Pendragon Family crest on its face, two golden dragons standing back to back and rearing up, baring their claws, teeth and pointed tongue. With a wave of Ragnok's hand, a chest appears before the now King of Magical Britain, Harry James Potter.

Harry looks at the Goblin King, who nods his head at him when Harry motions to the chest, obviously asking for permission. Harry opens the chest to see 8 Rings sitting before him, like an audience eagerly awaiting the main act as it were.

"Your Lord Ring must be placed on the same finger, never worry, you won't feel the weight of every Ring and they will all blend with one another, and you can call upon whichever one you need as is necessary. Once you place the Lord Ring on your hand, you are immediately assuming the title." Ragnok explains before Harry reaches for the first ring, the Potter Family Ring, with its Family crest of a wand shooting red sparks crossing over a sword encrusted with rubies. He places the Ring on his ring finger on his right hand and reaches for the next one, the Gryffindor Family Ring, with the Gryffindor House Crest resting on its face, the same crest as that of the Gryffindor House in Hogwarts. Next comes the Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin Rings, all with the same crest as their Hogwarts Houses. Next comes the Peverell Family Ring, with its symbol of a triangle with a line going down from the point to the base and a circle inside the triangle on its face. Then the Pendragon Family Ring, which is merged with the Le Fey Family Ring, the two dragons holding a wand in their talons to honour Morganna's family, instead of the two dragons as is on Wyatt's Ring. Ragnok explains that King Arthur had merged the two Houses after he learnt of Morganna's heritage and this is recognised as the Royal crest, and if Wyatt becomes King, then his Ring will alter itself and his dragon's shall hold the wands, to show he is King. Harry picks up the Black Heir Ring, with its face adorning the Family Crest of a skull standing above a hand holding a wand and three ravens, and places it on, emptying the chest.

"Miss Halliwell, as you are here now, you can claim your Head of House Warren and Halliwell Rings if you so wish." Ragnok says to Piper. While Harry was claiming his titles Lily explained to her sister how she is the Head of the two houses as she is the eldest living member of the family who has not died, otherwise it would've been Prue who's the eldest living Halliwell again. The title will then go down to her children, Melinda first being the first girl and the title being primarily Matriarchal and then on to the boys, then on to Phoebe and her children, then it would've been Lily but due to her death the title would then go on to Harry, who's 12th in line for the Halliwell and Warren Lordships, and the title would then move on to Paige and her children then. Piper nods to the Goblin Kings question and, with a flash, a small chest with the two rings inside appear. The Warren and Hallwiell Family Rings are exactly the same with the Triquetra on its face but the Warren's Triquetra is made of vines and Halliwell made of electricity. Piper places these Family Rings on her ring finger on her right hand.

"Is there anything else we can do for you today King Harry?" Ragnok asks politely.

"I wish to be able to access the Potter Family Manor, is there anything that I need to sign? And please, call me Harry Your Highness."

"Then call me Ragnok and no, Harry, there is nothing in need of signing as the Head of House Ring will let you and those with you through the wards as long as they are touching you if they have not been added to the Wards yet, you can also now take control of the Wards and write people off the list of who is allowed if you wish." Harry smiles and stands, offering a hand to the Goblin King and says

"I would like to meet with yourself at your convenience to discuss Wizard/Goblin relations' if that is ok with you, both of our kind's have been warring and feuding for far too long don't you reckon?" Harry says, with some sort of Power in his voice. He later realised this Power he spoke with was the Power of the King, which can make his requests, should he use it, undeniable from any Witch or Wizard no matter who they are, this included Wiccan Witches as well. He made this request in the language of The People, Gobblydegook as Wizard-kind had dubbed it, out of respect to the Royal.

"Of course, I shall owl you mid-September to arrange a date that is amenable for the both of us." Ragnok said, with the same Power of the King in his voice, his having the same effect, though his working on Goblin-kind.

Harry and co bid the Goblin King fair well and left the bank, Piper, Wyatt and Leo to return to the Manor in San Francisco, and Harry, Lily and Marlene to go to Potter Manor.

"So, how does Your Highness feel? Does one feel happy?" Wyatt says teasingly as they were saying goodbye for one another for the next three days, a length of time that none of them had been separated for since Harry came into their lives.

"We are going to kill you if you decide to keep this up" Harry says, jokingly pretending to be threatening his elder cousin. After Harry nearly dies from oxygen deficiency due to his Aunt Piper's hug, and he hugs his uncle, the three Halliwell's orb away leaving Harry with Marlene and his mother to their own devices in Britain.

"Do you mind if we stop and get Flor, I've seen what is waiting for us at Potter Manor now that we're going there and I feel he should be with us" Marlene says as they all walk back down the alley, which seems to be dying down in activity compared to earlier on.

"Not at all. We'll collect him then apparate to the Manor." Lily says with a smile, also knowing what is waiting for the party at her son's ancestral home and feeling excited beyond words. The trio walk back down the alley at a leisurely pace, which is internally killing Lily, who is simply ecstatic over what is awaiting them. The finally reach Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and walk in to find Florean cleaning the countertop as he was closing up for a 30 minute dinner break.

"Honey! We're going to Potter Manor with Lily and Harry, come along" Marlene says as she grabs hold of her boyfriend and drags him away from his work towards her best friend and godson. Florean shakes his head amusedly at his girlfriend and asks his worker, a soon to be sixth year student at Hogwarts who needed a summer job to close up for him. Harry laughs heartedly at his godmother's antics and wonders to himself if his godfather will be similar, he had heard of his father and his best friends (and the traitor's) jokes and attitudes when they and his mother were in school together after he'd been reunited with Lily and had worked up the courage to ask about his dad.

The party of five are huddled together as Lily apparates them all to the outside of the Manor Gates. The Manor is sat at the front of a large ground, and the building itself is massive, possibly 4 times the size of the Halliwell Homes combined! Harry stares in wonder at the home and sees, due to his need to look everywhere at once at his family's home, a flicker of movement behind a window inside the Manor. He immediately stalks forward, a fireball flickering in his hand as he opens the gate and rushes into the grounds of the Manor, followed swiftly by his mother and their two companions, the two males being the only ones acting cautiously (Florean with his wand drawn) as the women just walk into the Manor calmly, a spring in Lily's step even. The two males hear a scream and sprint into the Manor to see Lily enveloped in a passionate kiss with a man. The man was tall and his body well built and lithe. Harry saw red and began to aim his fireball when all of a sudden the kissing two pulled away and he dropped the ball to the floor, luckily just dissipating quickly before it causes damage. Stood in front of Harry is none other than James Potter himself, Harry's father. The young king breaks down in tears as he rushes forward and tackles the man, wrapping his arms around the man, who quickly stabilises himself and wraps his own strong arms around his grown son, a tear slipping from his hazel coloured eyes.

Harry, after slightly detaching himself from his recently returned father, looks at his mother, who takes her husband's free hand immediately and she leads the party into a large sitting room. Harry and Lily immediately began to fill James in on what exactly had happened since his death, and even Lily and how she never truly was an Evans by blood and instead a Halliwell. James took all of this in his stride though and smiled when he asked "So where's Remus and Sirius?" Marlene steps forward then and informs both Lily and James that while they were having their private family reunion she had spoken to Remus on a Muggle mobile phone which Florean, who just also happens to have a Mastery in Runes, had created a Runic Array which allowed for mobile phones be allowed to work around magic. Though this was still a prototype and thus only Marlene, Remus and Florean had one as the testers for this certain product. Marlene reports

"Remus told me that he was told by Albus through letter by Fawkes about the trial and he was travelling to Florean's Ice Cream Parlour. I told him that we are in Potter Manor with some special people and he should be here soon". After Marlene finished her sentence they heard a soft and tentative knock at the door. James smirked wickedly and walked to the door. He sent a wink to his son, who'd followed him with his mother and both stood next to him. James reached forward and opened the door and said in a cheery voice

"Moony! Long time no see?!" Remus's eyes widened exponentially and he said in a quivering voice

"P…P…Prongs?!" James smirked and nodded

"Yup". With that Remus burst in to tears and charged forwards, wrapping the once dead (still dead technically) man in his scarred arms and wept with tears of joy.

"How? I thought the two of you DIED! I had tried looking for Harry when I heard but Albus had assured me that he'd been retrieved and placed with family. I knew the only family left were Lily's sister and brother-in-law and tried to argue that as Albus and Minerva had adopted Lily after her parents' death that they should have rights to him, or even that traitor Sirius would, anyone but Petunia should have custody of him. He explained why they couldn't take him in and the protection he has from being with Lily's blood and why even they could not visit the young babe. I'm guessing this is him?" Remus says quietly, ensuring that only James could hear him.

James nodded and said in a sad voice

"Yeah this is him. And Sirius is not the traitor, he was never the Secret Keeper, it was Wormtail, Moony, Peter betrayed us to Voldemort." Remus's face darkens and them becomes anguished

"I can't believe I mourned for that Rat bastard! He deserved being killed by Sirius. I just can't believe that I've been blaming Padfoot for all of these years and he was innocent of tearing me away from my pack"

Harry goes over and, seeing in his mother and father's thoughts that this Moony is a very close friend of theirs and that he himself had seen this ragged looking man as family when he was younger and so patted his arm soothingly then wraps him in a tentative hug.

"It's okay Uncle Moony, Sirius won't hold it against you when we free him tomorrow."

"Free him from where?" James said with a dangerous tone to his voice which hardened after hearing his son say this.

"He's been in Azkaban for betraying you and Lily to Voldemort and killing Peter." Remus says in a soft voice, while smoothing Harry's hair, Moony rejoicing inside of him at the reunion with his Pack members and the child he sees as his cub.

"As we have just established Peter was the traitor and not Padfoot and as for him killing Peter I would not be surprised if we learn in his trial tomorrow that Peter transformed into his animagus form and scarpered away like the coward he is." Lily mutters darkly before embracing Remus himself.

"So when is this trial, I think that with both myself and Lily back from the dead in a way, we can give all the evidence needed to free Sirius, I do have to wonder though, why didn't Dumbledore try and get Sirius a trial?" James asked, which Lily nodded at, surely her adoptive father would have at least triedto save her husband's best friend.

"He did. Myself, Albus and Minerva all petitioned for the ministry for years to get Sirius his trial but Bagnold would not listen to reason and we had no choice but to give up, Fudge has only been Minister for a year and we intended to try and petition again in two years, when he has earned the trust of the wizarding world and been in his station for three years, as he is supposed to be before he enacts a major change of our society. Which is pretty backwards if you ask me. What if Bagnold had passed a law that mean every pureblood did not have to pay any taxes and instead raised the taxes of muggleborns and half-bloods, Fudge would have to wait three years before he could change the laws to the way they should be." Marlene says from the doorway, to which Remus nods at. Having lived in the muggle world since James and Lily's death primarily, he has the experience of the muggle laws and muggle life in general, after all a muggle wouldn't assume he were a werewolf if he takes two days a month off of work like people would in the Wizarding World. Though after his and Marlene's petitioning, he cannot be discriminated against by his employers as he would have been in the past and if the two of them hadn't worked so hard on it, he knows that there is still stigma against those with his affliction and those of Marlene's new kind.

"The trial is 9am tomorrow morning, so I suggest we have a nice and relaxing day now so we are ready for tomorrow. I know Sirius will need us all to be as strong as we can be for this" Lily said, before she leads the group back into the sitting room and the friends and the young boy all sit down and get either re-acquainted or better aquatinted in Harry's case with his Godmother, honorary Uncle and, most importantly, his father.

The Potters and co. walked into Courtroom 1, the courtroom used for the most important cases. Harry's parents sat in the witness box, while he sat with his four aunt's and uncle's, three by marriage, one of them (Andy) having just been made a Whitelighter and thus newly reunited with his true love, Harry's Aunt Prue. Harry's Uncle Henry (Paige's husband) was at home with all of the children and had help from Victor (Prue, Piper and Phoebe's father), Darryl and Sheila (both of whom obviously know the sisters are witches and therefore prepared to care for Magical Children, and have done so in the past anyway). Marlene, Florean and Remus sit in the row behind Harry and both Marlene and Remus have a hand resting on the young boy's shoulder, the three lending one another the support they need. Harry reached towards his parents telepathically and sent reassuring thoughts to them, while Phoebe helped by soothing them with her Empathy. The doors open and a man is dragged in by two wizards, followed by a Dementor. Piper had to resist the urge to blow up the horrid beast as she was forced to relive the deaths of all her sisters, even Lily's or her reaction to hearing that she had yet another sister and she is dead, her mothers, Leo's and her Grams. Phoebe had to relive her emotions of Prue's, her mother's, her Grams, Leo's and Cole's deaths. Paige had to surge onwards as she remembered the car crash that killed her parents, finding out about her sisters, her own car accident, and the death of Joanna by Zankou's hand. Prue shudders with tears streaming down her face as she remembers her mother's, her Grams', Andy's and even her own death and also remembers her abuse at the hand of her ex and how she felt when she and Phoebe were in a car accident and Phoebe was seriously injured.

Harry however reacted the worst as he was suddenly thrust into his memory of the night his parents were murdered. He saw the full recollection clearly, he saw his father casting bubbles from his wand to entertain and the feeling of the wards collapsing and Voldemort walking up to the house. He remembers the sound of his father being killed after trying to fight off the Dark Lord without a wand, his mother's declaration of love for him then her sacrifice when Voldemort had told her to step aside and he did not and her death and then the wand being turned upon him and Voldemort's demise. Unknowingly, he was telepathically projecting this memory to every person within the courtroom, most of whom were reduced to tears. Marlene, the first to recover from the shock cast a Patronus and sends the Dementor from the room with a polar bear chasing it away and standing guard at the door.

"MUM! DAD!" Harry screams as his eyes fly open after the Dementor is forcibly removed and he immediately orbs from his location in the public stands and to his mother's arms, who grabs him and holds onto her son for dear life. Throughout this ordeal Sirius had seen Harry's memory, found him with Remus, and followed his old friend's eyeline to the witness box with concerned eyes. He whitens quickly when the sight of Harry and his parents together.

"Prongs, Lily-Flower? How, we just saw you die!" Sirius screams with happiness in his voice.

"That will be explained Lord Black. Now that everyone has recovered from the onslaught of young Mr Potter's memories I suggest we begin so we can leave and attempt to recover from the horrific sights set upon us. Before we begin, I would like to enquire just how did we see this memory?" Minister Fudge asks, looking over to the Potters.

"As you all now should be aware of, I belong to the Halliwell and Warren Line and the newly christened Power of Five and am one of The Charmed Ones. Telepathy, a stronger and unblockable form of Legilimency, is one of Harry's Wiccan Powers, I shall not divulge whether he has others and what they may be if he does however, and it is not my place to do so and is also no business of the Wizarding World's. We're here, Paddy, because The Elders have resurrected both myself and James, making him a Whitelighter and myself a Wiccan-Whitelighter with all of the Wiccan Powers I should have had and the magic that I did have and used during my life. We're back and it's for good" Lily explains and then says firmly to Sirius, who has tears of joy flowing down his cheeks and a widening smile on his face.

"We are gathered here today on the 04th of June in the year of 2017 for the trial of Lord Sirius Orion Black. Lord Black you are being charged with the betrayal of Lily, James and Harry Potter to Lord Voldemort on the 31st of October 2004 and the murder of Order of Merlin 3rd class holder Peter Pettigrew on the 1st of November 2004 including the death of 12 muggles, how do you plead?" A woman who sat next to Minister Fudge asked.

"Not Guilty Lady and Auror Bones" Sirius said confidently.

"It is Director Bones now Lord Black" the woman says with a small smile

"Well done Amy! I always knew you'd get the role soon enough. Say when all of this is all said and done, would you fancy trying to rekindling an old flame" Sirius beamed with a sly wink in Amelia Bones' direction, who blushed furiously.

"We shall see Lord Black. Do you agree to the use of Veritaserum?" Amelia asks seriously, with a soft smile of exasperation sent in the direction of Marlene, who chuckled softly to herself.

"Yes I do" said the man. One man sauntered over to Sirius and put three drops of a clear looking potion in the man's mouth, who swallowed and gained a very misty look in his eyes.

"Are you Sirius Orion Black?"

"I am"

"Born to Walburga and Orion Black, brother to Regulus Arcturus Black?"

"Yes"

"Please name your three cousins"

"Andromeda Tonks (nee Black), Bellatrix Lestrange (nee Black) and Narcissa Malfoy (nee Black)" Amelia nods at the Minister, confirming that this is the information she has on paper and that the truth serum has taken affect.

"Lord Black, were you the Secret Keeper for James and Lily Potter?" Minister Fudge asks, looking at the ragged man.

"I was not" Sirius says with a bland and bored sounding voice through the effects of the Veritaserum. After he states this gasps could be heard from the Wizengamot and the public allowed in to watch the trial who didn't already know the truth.

"Did you betray the Potters and gave their location away to the Dark Lord Voldemort?"

"No" Sirius says seriously (A/N I'm sorry, I couldn't resist haha)

"Then who was the secret keeper?"

"Peter Pettigrew" several more gasps could be heard. Lily reached for James's hand, who took it with a grateful smile towards his wife.

"So you killed Mr Pettigrew and those Muggle's in retaliation?" a woman dressed in sickly pink and a toad-like appearance shouted.

"Madam Umbridge, please desist. You are not questioning the accused." Amelia Bones says sharply.

However before Fudge could ask the next question Sirius answers in the same monotonous tone of voice

"I did not kill Pettigrew or those innocent Muggles. Peter sent a blasting curse which caused an explosion and turned into his animagus form which he, myself and James Potter had learnt during our Hogwarts years illegally.". The lady in pink, Madam Umbridge smiled wickedly to herself before standing and shouting out in mock outrage

"LIES! Peter Pettigrew was not an animagus! He would have been registered". Amelia turned her head as if she were an owl and glared at the tod-like woman

"Madam Umbridge, you are causing a disruption. Please leave the courtroom!" Umbridge turned her evil glare onto the Director of the DMLE (Department of Magical Law Enforcement)

"Lady Bones, please! We know of Black's trickery and how truly evil he is, just look at who he associates with! He deigns from the Darkest Family in Wizarding Britain and freely associates with known Dark Creatures such as Vampires and Werewolves! Your just blinded by your past relationship with the murderer!" Umbridge spat furiously. A dark look crosses Amelia's face and is about to reply when Fudge stands and says

"Madam Umbridge, you will go to your desk and clean your things, from this moment on your employment here at the Ministry of Magic has been terminated in light of your racist attitude to people who have been recognised as victims and people and not creatures as they were wrongfully accused of being before we had all seen the error of our ways and have cleared these victims of the crimes we have done unto them, the disruption of justice within a courtroom, disrespecting a Director of Department within the Ministry and also disrespecting both the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black and disrespecting the current Head of House of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black and the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Bones. I hereby sentence you to 20 years in Azkaban as is written in the Laws of the Wizengamot effective immediately, guards please take her away." Umbridge stood in pure shock before her face turns into a nasty snarl and she draws her wand and points it at Harry, the only child within the courtroom. Before she can even begin to say a spell however Prue stands and flicks her arm, sending the toad flying to hit against the wall while Paige orbed the vile woman's wand away from her. Phoebe meanwhile had to practically fly herself over Harry and down onto Piper to stop her from blowing up the pink clad horror. Lily stood in outrage and a strong wind started to blow and her hair whipping furiously behind her.

"YOU DARE RAISE YOUR WAND AGAINST MY SON?!" she screamed at the woman who stared at lily in terror as she began to float in the air, and lighting sparking from her fingers.

"L ... Lady Potter, I mean to do no harm to your child i swear!" she called up to the fiery red haired witch who'd just come into her first Wiccan Power.

"Piper, didn't you have that power when the Titans were released again?" Paige whispers to her older sister, who nods in wonder at the powerful display of magic her younger sister is displaying.

"Yeah, Leo, what's the name for this power, I thought she'd have one of the Charmed Powers first." Piper answers and then asks her Whitelighter.

"The Power is called Atmokinesis, it basically means full control over the weather. I think that if Prue hadn't died Paige would have had a different set of active powers, and this is what has happened in Lily's case. She never unlocked her Wiccan magic; she had instead unlocked her wizarding magic. And because Paige has the Telekinesis that Prue had but only after Prue had died, both of them could either have had any of the three Charmed Ones Powers and then their own unique Power set like you and Phoebe. Prue only has her Telekinesis and Astral Projection back because it is used in a different form than what Paige uses it and she had unlocked those Powers before her death. Lily never did so she has her own set of Powers that's not dependent of being a Charmed One like you, Phoebe and Prue, Paige would have been in the exact same case as Lily if not for Prue. I'll get Grams to come down from 'Up There' and brew the same potion you used on Harry, I'm assuming it's in the Book of Shadows?" Leo explains quickly and quietly. Before he can leave Umbridge stands and gathers her meagre bit of courage.

"Actually I do not need to apologise to a mudblood like you! I am a descendant of the Ancient House of Selwyn and Head of the Noble House of Umbridge! Filthy little hybrids like you should bow before me!" Umbridge said with a sickly smirk. Lightning shot from Lily's hand involuntarily at Umbridge who scrambled out of the way of the strike.

"And you can now add insulting the Lady of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter and the daughter of the Ancient House of Warren and the Noble and Ancient House of Halliwell. Guards! Take Umbridge away immediately!" Fudge shouts over the every blowing winds. When two guards manage to drag away the woman Fudge then turns towards the Wizengamot and says in a dangerous tone of voice

"Now if any of you share the same views as my ex Senior Secretary then please leave now and never return as you are not and never will be welcome within this courtroom to create the laws that every citizen of our world, be they wizard, witch, vampire, werewolf or any other race within our now INCLUSIVE world." All members of the Wizengamot sat in wait, all looking at one other, those suspected of having these same thoughts scowling to themselves. Fudge nodded, making a mental note of who he saw scowling and intending to see about having Amelia send people to do discreet investigations into their families and their alliances. He then turns towards Sirius, who seemed to have been totally forgotten during the events.

"I think that by what you have told us, under the strongest batch of Veritaserum brewed in the history of its creation, I believe that if Lord and Lady Potter can confirm that what you have stated to be true then myself and the Wizengamot can hold a vote." Amelia Bones turns towards the husband and wife, the latter of which had not long landed back where she was originally and had gained control over the her Wiccan Power once more.

"Lord and Lady Potter do you agree for a small dose of Veritaserum which will wear off in just half an hour and state what you know?" both of the Potters nod in confirmation.

In turns, the duo take the small dosage of Veritaserum and both stated that everything Sirius had said in his trial is the utmost truth. The two were returned to their seats and Fudge turned towards the Wizengamot and lead them all into a small room, making those in the stands watching the trial await in anticipation, especially the members of his family that had turned up, Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy, who were strangely sat together and speaking rather amicably, with their children sat on their opposite side. Fudge and the people of the Wizengamot walked back in to the courtroom and sat in their seats.

"The Wizengamot and I have decided on a verdict. Sirius Black you are hereby cleared of all charges and as an apology for your wrongful imprisonment and as an apology from myself for the past Administration of the Ministry's actions we hereby gift you with Ḡ20,000 for each year of your 10 years in Azkaban. However with your being an illegal Animagus we have to charge you Ḡ2000 and require you to register before you leave today. I deeply apologise Lord Black, you are free to go." Sirius lets out a sob and James and Remus, in pure elation jump from their seats and down to the flat in which Sirius was sat. The two friends led their sobbing friend from the courtroom where the rest of their party await him with congratulations. Sirius has an extremely tearful reunion with James, Remus, Lily and Marlene. Lily then introduced her sister and brothers-in-law and explained how the five sisters are Wiccan Witches and the and then placed her hand on her son's shoulder saying

"I don't think this young man needs any introduction" with a broad smile.

"Harry" Sirius breathed out, a smile brewing on his face. The recently freed man took in his godsons appearance.

"Well I have to say Prongs, if you weren't miraculously standing in front of me, i'd have thought you were sent forwards in time when you were a kid. Mind you, I can see some differences, he has Tiger-Lily's eyes for one ("Don't call me Tiger-Lily Dog-Breath" Lily said in an admonishing tone of voice) and he's way handsomer than you ever will be ("HEY!" James shouted in mock-outrage). Hiya Harry, I highly doubt you remember me but i'm Padfoot, your honorary Uncle and your Godfather" Sirius says teasingly to his friends and then shyly to the young lad. Harry shocked the ex-convict by launching himself forward and hugging him, which he quickly reciprocated.

After this short reunion the group were about to head their separate ways, Marlene and Florean back to his shop, the Halliwell's back to the States and the rest to register James and Sirius as Animagi when they came across Andromeda Tonks and her daughter Nymphadora "don't call me that" Tonks and Andromeda's youngest sister Narcissa Malfoy and her son Draco, who's the same age as Harry and Wyatt and would be in their year in Hogwarts.

"Sirius! You won't believe how glad the two of us are that your free!" Andromeda says in greeting, pulling her baby cousin in for an embrace. When he freed himself from her clutches he nearly died on the spot as if he'd been AK'd when Narcissa then pulled him in for a hug.

"Andi! Cissy! I thought you two weren't talking!" Sirius said in astonishment at seeing the two sisters together again as he thought they hadn't spoken since Andromeda had left to marry Ted Tonks, a Hufflepuff Muggleborn, a huge shame and embarrassment to his "family" apparently.

"You know in the war the Order had a secret informant only Albus, Minerva and I knew the identity of? It was Cissa!" Andi says happily, which floored the group who's fought in the war completely.

"I'm so glad that your free Sirius, as you were never given a trial the title of Head of House Black after your bitch of a mother died went straight to you and I need a favour. I want you to dissolve my marriage with Lucius Malfoy. He is abusive to both myself and Draco and I never loved him anyway. I would gladly take on the name of Black once more and work on bettering my relationship with you all, making up for the horrible things I had to do to you to keep up appearances as the dutiful wife of a Death Eater. Draco, as the only Malfoy male after his father, will gain the title of Head of House when the divorce is finalised, as was specified in our marriage contract should I leave the marriage with good reason such as spousal abuse. Please cousin, I'm begging you. Save us from Lucius and his evil clutches!" Narcissa says, tears in her eyes at the end. Sirius nods and takes out his wand, which he was given back before he left the courtroom by an Auror names Kingsley Shacklebolt, an old friend and member of the Order of the Phoenix.

"I, Sirius Orion Black, Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, hereby dissolve the marriage between Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black (formerly Malfoy) due to reports of spousal abuse and welcome her back in to the house as Kin. I hereby demand, as per the agreement in the contract, that should Narcissa Black leave this marriage due to good reason that her son Draco Abraxus Malfoy tae on the Head of House Malfoy from his father and her dowry to be paid back in full, plus intrest." A bright flash indicated that this had been accepted as Narcissa's wedding band dissolved from her hand and the Head of House Ring appeared on Draco's hand. Draco then asks if he could still retain his title so he could protect his mother and her family, his new family, but take on the name of Black. Sirius agree's to this as he knows full well Draco knows he could do this. The ragged looking man then turned to his is eldest cousin

"I, Sirius Orion Black, Head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, do hereby invite and accept Andromeda Tonks (formerly Black), her husband Theodore Tonks and all of her offspring back into the house as Kin" Andromeda smiled widely and tackled her cousin, who wrapped his arms around her and relished in her warm embrace, soon joined by his other elder cousin, who was weeping with joy.

"Now that that's all taken care of let's register our forms and get out of here. I don't know about you lot but I've eat hardly anything for nearly 10 years and to be completely honest with you, i'm bloody starving" Sirius said jovially, an arm around both of his cousins and leading the laughing party into a lift to head home.

(A/N. So there you go! A really long chapter six! So sorry it took me so long to update! I have found myself three jobs could you imagine and have been pretty busy including my coursework for Uni as you can imagine. I'm finally done with Uni now so you may just get more updates even quicker now, but don't hold me to this haha. Sirius is free! Lily has shown us one of her Wiccan Powers, there was even a bit of a second Power in here that's sort of hidden with the first, I wonder how many of you can spot it! PM me with what you think this could be, or leave a review! So much has gone on in this one chapter, I just couldn't control myself one bit! I know the explanation of why Lily has a different powerset is complicated and confusing so basically she has different powers because she was never called on as a Charmed One and so doesn't have one of the three Powers (Telekinesis, Premonitions or Molecular Immobilisation) like Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige who WERE called on as Charmed Ones. My theory is if Prue hadn't died and Paige had been found by the sisters as told she were a witch she'd get an entirely different set of Powers. I'm trying to decide what other Powers Lily should have. Also, I don't know if I have mentioned in an author's note before but I plan on Hermione being the Potter Wife so i do not need suggestions on who this could be, I DO however plan on making her a Wiccan witch and Wizarding witch like Harry and need help on deciding her Powers. So leave a review or PM me with what you think Lily's other Powers should be and what should Hermione's Powers be. As always thank you for reading, please review and if you haven't yet, put this story in your favourites and follow it so you'll be notified when a new chapter is updated. I cannot ask enough times, please review, I'm very grateful to all who do and give me criticism and their thoughts and help. And I am SO SO SORRY I never realised that it has been nearly two months since my last update, I bet your all ready to kill me! haha. Bye for now people! :) )
