A Godfather's Duty

by Chewiii

It's the night of Lily and James' death and Sirius is suspected of telling Voldemort where they were. He as good as murdered them in the ministry's eyes. Will he ever convince them otherwise and do his duty as a Godfather?

6. Chapter 6

And another…

Meanwhile, at the Ministry of Magic, the Minister was pacing about in his office. He was in the company of Lucius Malfoy, a man of great knowledge and advice.
"Sir, you cannot keep Sirius in the wizarding world! He has been accused of too heavy a crime, and how could you ever be completely sure of his innocence? He is a threat. He is an outcast and he will not be accepted into society once more! I advise he is banished to the muggle world. I would say either that, or the fate of the Dementors. That way, the wizarding world can sleep safe in their beds at night," Lucius angrily told the Minister.
"I cannot bear to be the murderer of an innocent man, should his innocence be true!" The Minister argued.
"Ah, but Minister, even you are not certain and how can we take such a risk?! The ministry could go under!" Lucius was persistent that Sirius should be banished or worse, killed.
The Minister looked up, regret in his eyes. "Lucius, I fear you may be right. But how can we go about this in a subtle and…gentle fashion?"
"Leave it to me…" Lucius grinned.
