Sirius gulped down the clear potion, and immediately felt a cloud wash over his mind.
"Well lets get right into it. Did you help plot Lily and James' death?" The minister questioned.
"No." Sirius replied, getting a fair amount of response from the crowd.
"Were you, or are you in support of You-Know-Who?"
"No." He replied again, this time there was many gasps and a wave of chatter ran through the crowd.
"Did you blow up Peter Pettigrew and many muggles?" Cornelius asked hoping for something to accuse Sirius with.
"No." This time Fudge had to ask the crowd to settle down.
"Well, What did happen the night of You-Know-Who's downfall?" Cornelius asked, fearful of the answer.
Dumbledore insisted on a secret keeper for the Potter household, knowing Voldemort was after them. James insisted on me, but at the last minute i changed it to Peter, because I thought it would be less obvious. Peter was working with Voldemort, and the stupid git told him were the house was. I went out on the street to kill him after I saw him run away, but he staged his death and made it look like I did it. Crouch came and sent me to Azkaban without a trial." Sirius said the last part with a scowl.
The crowd was silent, not knowing what to say. Most of them sat there in awe, at the true events that were told to them.
"Well, I would like to apologize for the actions we have all made against you, and I am happy to say you are free to go. Remus, if you would like to take him to a quiet place with no people, until the veritaserum wears off." Cornelius said after a few moments of silence.
Remus walked down, unstrapped Sirius, and apparated back to his appartment.
