"NO! The public would go crazy at the thought of Sirius being free. Anyway, why do you want him out so bad? A-are you on You-Know-Who's s-side?"Cornelius Fudge asked as he jumped away from Remus.
"What? No, he was one of my best friends at Hogwarts, and I know he wouldn't do this kind of thing. I'm sure he's innocent! Please, use veritaserum!" Remus Pleaded.
"Fine!" Cornelius knew that if he didn't help, he wouldn't here the end of this man. "We can hold a trial on in two weeks, 2 o'clock sharp." he said checking the calender on the wall. "In the high security room."
"But sir, He doesn't know." Remus said.
"Hmmmmm, true... I will put it in the news, and the muggle TV thing. That way the public can interrogate me in advance," he muttered as he walked out of his room.
Remus apparated back to his small apartment. He couldn't believe it! Sirius would be free now. He wondered who would be questioning him. As long as they were fair he didn't really care. He sat down at his desk and took out his quill, and a blank piece of parchment. He paused for a second before writing his letter to Sirius.
Dear Sirius,
I have managed to get you a trial to set you free. Check the prophet or muggle news, i think there will be more information. I was thinking we could go out for butterbeer after your trial to talk about the past 12 years. I'm sorry I blamed you, I had no idea what to think.
-See you soon, Remus
After a few failed attempts, He managed to pull this off. He rolled up the parchment, and attached it to his owl's leg. "This ones for our furry friend." He said, hoping it understood. Two weeks couldn't come quick enough, he thought to himself, watching his owl fly away.
