CHAPTER 14: Sirius Black

Jessie's grey eyes met a pair of identical ones across the room, the only way the two pairs could be told apart was what was in them. Sirius Black's were, angry, and sad, Jessie's were warm, yet full of confusion.

"If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us too." Hermione stated moving in front of Harry.

"No." Sirius stated "Only one will die tonight."

"Then it'll be you!" Harry shouted pushing Hermione out of the way and lunging at Sirius.

The 13 year old was easily able to overpower Sirius, due his malnutrition. Harry pulled his wand out and pressed it to Sirius's forehead.

"Harry!" Jessie exclaimed torn between helping her best friend and the father she'd never known.

"Are you going to kill me Harry?" Sirius laughed.

Suddenly the doors burst open and Lupin charged through them "EXPELLIARMUS!"

Harry's wand flew across the room, landing on the floor with a clatter. Lupin, with his wand, motioned at Harry to get up and go back with Ron, Hermione and Jessie.

"Well, well Sirius looking a little raged aren't we." Lupin said walking up to Sirius who was still on the floor, his wand pointed at him "Finally the flesh reflects the madness within."

"Well you'd know all about madness within wouldn't you Remus." Sirius countered.

After a moment Lupin lowered his wand and helped Sirius up, the two hugged.

"I found him!" Sirius whispered.

"I know-"

"Lets kill him."

"NO!" Hermione exclaimed "I trusted you! And all this time you've been his friend." Hermione paused looking back at her three friends "He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes."

"How long have you known?" Lupin asked walking towards Hermione.

"Since Snape set the essay." Hermione replied.

"Well you really are the brightest witch of your age." Lupin praised

"ENOUGH TALK REMUS! Lets kill him!" Sirius shouted angrily.

"Wait."

"I DID MY WAITING TWELVE YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!"

Lupin sighed, glancing at the four 13 year old's before handing his wand to Sirius.

"Very well, kill him. But wait one more minute." Lupin stated "Harry has the right to know why."

"I know why." Harry stated "You betrayed my parents! You're the reason they're dead."

"No Harry it wasn't him. Somebody else betrayed your parents but it was somebody who, I thought until quite recently was dead."

"Who was it then?"

"Peter Pettigrew!" Sirius said, a twisted smile on his face "And he's in this room! Come out come out Peter! Come out and play!"

"EXPELLIARMUS!" Snape cast coming through the door "Ahh vengeance is sweet. How I hoped that I would be the one to catch you."

"Severus." Lupin started.

"I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend into the castle." Snape stated aiming his wand at Lupin "And now, here's the proof."

"Brilliant Snape." Sirius said walking towards Snape "Once again you've put your keen penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion. Now if you'll excuse Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to."

Snape shoved his wand against Sirius's jugular "Give me a reason! I beg you!"

"Severus don't be a fool." Lupin warned.

"He can't help it it's habit."

"Sirius be quite."

"Be quite yourself Remus!" Sirius snapped.

"Look at you too." Snape mocked "Quarrelling like and old married couple."

"Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set!" Sirius retorted.

"I could do it you know." Snape snarled, pressing his wand further into Sirius's neck "But why deny the dementors they're so longing to see you. Oh do I detect a flicker of fear? Oh yes the dementors kiss. One can only image what that would be like to endure. They say its nearly unbearable to witness, but I'll do my best."

"Severus please." Lupin begged.

Jessie glanced at Harry who was sliding Hermione's wand out of her pocket. Jessie grabbed her wand out of her own back pocket, hoping Snape couldn't disarm them both.

"After you." Snape stated motioning out into the hall before motioning out to Harry, Ron Hermione, and Jessie.

Jessie and Harry glanced at each other before they both raised their wands, directing them first at Sirius, suddenly snapping towards Snape.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" they cast, the power of their combined spells knocking Snape nearly through the wall and into the next bedroom.

"Harry, Jessie what did you do!" Ron exclaimed.

"You attacked a teacher." Hermione said in disbelief.

"Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!" Harry demanded.

"He was at school with us." Lupin started "We thought he was our friend."

"No." Harry said confused "Pettigrew's dead. You killed him." Harry directed his wand and Sirius.

"No he didn't. I thought so to until you mentioned seeing him on the map."

"The map was lying then."

"The map NEVER lies." Sirius stated "Pettigrews alive. And he's right there." Sirius pointed at Ron.

"Me?" Ron gasped "He's mental!"

"No, not you! Your rat!"

"Scabbers has been in my family for-"

"Twelve years. Curiously long life for a common Ireland rat." Sirius said walking towards Ron "He's missing a toe isn't he?"

"So what?" Ron asked.

"All they could find of Pettigrew was his-" Harry started.

"Finger! The coward cut it off so everyone would think he was dead! And then he transformed into a rat!"

"Show me." Harry stated.

Sirius grabbed Scabbers, but Ron held on to the rat.

"Give it to him Ron." Harry said.

"What are you going to do to him!" Ron shouted trying to get up, Jessie and Hermione each grabbed one of his shoulders "Scabbers! Leave him alone! Get off him!"

Sirius and Lupin held their wands at the ready, Sirius dropped Scabbers onto the old piano. The rat ran as Sirius and Lupin waved their wands randomly at it. Finally a lucky shot by Sirius transformed Scabbers into Peter Pettigrew.

"Eww!" Jessie cringed.

Jessie followed behind the group as they climbed out of the tunnel and into the crisp night air, trying to figure out how she was going to tell a Sirius that he had a thirteen year old daughter.

"Come on." Harry grabbed Jessie's arm so they could go talk to Sirius.

"Harry I can't." Jessie whispered shaking her head and pulling her arm gently from her friends grasp.

"Yes you can." Harry smiled "Come on."

Jessie reluctantly followed Harry.

"You pretty quick with a wand." Sirius told Jessie as the two teenagers stepped beside him.

"According to Dumbledore she gets it from her dad – OW!" Harry rub his side where Jessie's elbow connected.

Sirius chuckled "So what's your name? I never got it."

"Jessie."

"Jessie-" Harry pushed earning a glare.

"Black." Jessie whispered.

"Come again?"

Jessie took a deep breath "Jezebel Eliza Black."

"Black?" Sirius looked confused.

"Belle Dunlow was my mum."

"Belle's your mum?" Sirius choked.

Jessie bit her lip "She WAS my mum. She died in child birth."

Sirius nodded, just past the rough beard Jessie could see him biting his own lip.

"Were'd you grow up?"

"Orphanage."

Sirius glanced at the two "How about once this is all over you too come live with me."

Harry and Jessie looked at each other then back at Sirius "REALLY?" they chorused.

Sirius nodded.

"HARRY! JESSIE!" Hermione pointed at Lupin.

"Remus!" Sirius shouted running to hit friend.

"Full moon." Jessie whispered looking at the sky.

As she ran to help Sirius she had a feeling tonight would not end well.

Let me know what you guys think...
