Don't own Harry Potter.
Sirius' POV
Present
"I still didn't know what was happening. I had only seen Clara, but they never let me talk to her. I just couldn't find out why she had admitted to it." I told them. "Of course, I kind of realized it after I had heard what she had told the police. She didn't even remember coming to the ministry... I came to the best conclusion, the Imperius curse. It sounded better than anything else."
"What actually did happen?" Harry asked.
"Well, it became very obvious what has happened as I actually talked to her." I said and then sighed. "It was something much more horrific."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
In court
"Clara..." I said as she passed by. She didn't even look at me. She looked so... Crazy. Her hair was in a mess, her eyes were wide with fear.
"Mrs. Black," The minister's voice boomed in the small court room. She didn't even have my last name. "You said that you are responsible for the murder of four muggles?"
"I'm not sure." She whispered and then ran her hand through her thick brown hair. "I just don't know..."
"Well, did you or didn't you?" He asked.
"Yes, I mean no. I don't know! It all hurt so much..." I heard the last part, but no one else seemed to be listening after she said the word yes.
"She was tortured." I said and looked at the man beside me.
I didn't know by who, but I knew that she was. She never looked so... Scared. So strange. Then she said how much it had hurt. The Cruciatus curse no doubt.
I was going to kill whoever hurt her.
"They tortured her!" I yelled and stood up.
"Mr. Black, sit down!" The minister roared.
"Mr. Black...?" Clara looked at me. "Are you the Sirius I have heard so much about?"
She had forgotten me. She didn't even know who I was.
"Clara..." I looked at her. "We have a baby Clara."
"I had a baby once." She told me. "This week..." She said and then looked at the minister. "I didn't do anything..."
"You have already admitted to committing it." He growled. "Twice already."
"She was tortured you ignorant git!" I screamed.
I was coming off as crazy now. I had no evidence, I didn't even know who tortured her. A death-eater probably commuted the murders, and then made her admit to it.
I was still trying to convince myself that this never happened, that I would wake up and James and Lily would still be alive, that Clara and I would have our child and we would both live happily ever after.
"Can I go now?" Clara asked and looked at everyone. "Please...?"
"We will deal with Mr. Black now." They said and led them out of the room.
They went through my trial...
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Present
"And you know that I was sent to Azkaban. They found me guilty on all charges." I said and then sighed, looking at all of them. "She wasn't found guilty just... Insane. She was sent to a different part of Azkaban."
"But what about the child?" Hermione asked me. "Did you ever see him?"
"Right after my trial." I sighed lightly. "Only once though..."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Right after the trial
"I want to see my son." I told the man who had been leading me around all day. "I have to see him, at least before I go to Azkaban."
They all agreed that I could see him. As long as he was behind glass and I was in chains. At this point I didn't even care. As long as I could see him, just once...
When I saw him for the first time, I couldn't believe he was mine. He was so small, tiny. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen.
"Hey Arcturus..." That was what we had decided to call him, Clara and I. It was my brother Regulas' middle name, a name that ran in my family. I wanted to have one name that came from my brother. I had always loved him, even though I didn't admit it a lot.
His middle name was going to be James. Arcturus James Black. The parents that adopted him would probably change the name.
He looked like Clara, as much as a baby can look like his mother. He slept so soundly, wiggling every once in a while. I watched him just lay there for almost an hour.
I sighed as I was pulled away from the baby. That was the last time I had ever seen him.
End of Chapter! Now there is still another chapter, maybe even two. So yeah, keep reading!
