Alice picked up Harry's bag. Harry waved to Filius. "See you all later" said Alice.

Frank open the door for Alice. They walked down the stairs. Severus stayed in his seat. He was very glad that they were leaving. "Have a good day" said Albus.

They made it home with Harry. Frank knew Alice would be tired and he wanted to get Harry settled in. Alice walked in with Harry. Frank carried the bag in. They had switched on the ride home. Remus and Neville were sitting on the couch reading a book. Remus put the book down as Neville got down and ran to his mother. "You want to take Harry Remus?" Alice asked.

Harry was getting heavy and Alice knew Neville would want her. He was a mama's boy. Remus and Harry locked eyes. Harry got really happy. Remus took him as Neville held his hands up at Alice. "Hi Harry I bet you missed me. So how did it go with Albus?" Remus asked.

Alice picked Neville up. Neville screamed with delight. He walked back over to the couch with Harry. Frank sank in a chair. "Good, I guess. As long as Harry is safe and well cared for we can keep him" Frank replied in a tired voice.

Remus figured it would be something like that from Albus. Harry laid his head down and fell asleep. "Why don't you lay him in Neville's room then we can talk before you head home" Alice said.

Remus nodded as he got up. Neville was out as well. Frank took him, while Alice went to sit down on the black couch. It was old and worn. As soon as the boys were in bed they came back down stairs. Frank sat by Alice while Remus took the brown chair. "We want you to see Harry and be there for him as well. You can come over as much as you want. Harry loves you and it will be better for him if you were in his life" Frank said.

Remus felt like crying. He was very happy. "I want that as well. Harry means the world to me" Remus said.

Soon after that Remus got up to leave that way Frank ad Aice could go to bed. They walked him to the door then said goodbye. Walking down the hall Alice said "our new life begins now."

Frank agreed everything would be different. They went to bed. Over the next few days they adjusted to having Harry with them. When Remus wasn't there, Harry would cry most days which would set Neville off. Frank had gone back to work so Alice was left to deal with it. "I want eat" Harry screamed.

Alice sank into a kitchen chair. She was worn out. Harry kept screaming. Alice got up and got them food. "There you boys go" Alice said.

Alice sat down to eat her food when there was a knock on the door. She got up to answer it. Remus was standing there. "Alice we need to talk" said Remus.

He looked like he hadn't slept in days and Remus had a smell to him. Alice lead him over to the couch. They both sat down. "What's up Remus?" She asked.

Remus started to play with his hands. There would be no easy way to tell her about what he had to say. So he got on with it. "They found Black. He was in a street laughing about what he done. All they found was a finger of Peter's. Black killed him and thirteen muggles. He is going to Azkaban. They went to Peter's mother's house. She was in bad shape when she heard" Remus said.

Alice sat there in shock. It was a lot to take in. Sirius Black a traitor. It couldn't be James and him were best friends. "Are you sure, Remus?" Asked Alice.

"I am sure Dumbledore came and told me himself. He thought I should know" said Remus.

Alice nodded at that. She had to go tell Frank he would want to know. He could question Sirius himself. "Thank you for telling me Remus. Could you watch the boys? I want to go tell Frank about this. He will want to question Sirius and he should be the one to do so" Alice said in a shaky voice.

Remus leaned over and gave her a hug. Alice was upset that Dumbledore didn't tell her himself but, it was OK. "Yes I can. I think it would be best for Frank to hear it from you and not someone else" Remus replied.

"They are in the kitchen eating. We should go get them" Alice spoke.

They walked into the kitchen, cleaned the boys up then Alice left. In record time she made it to the Ministry. Going down to the Author department Alice ran into Mad-eye. He had Sirius with him. "What are you doing here Alice?" Mad-eye asked.

Alice didn't answer for a moment. She was staring hard at Sirius. His black eyes were looking at her face. If looks could kill he would be dead. "I didn't know you still worked here Alice" Sirius said.

He was scared of her right now and it showed on his face. Sirius wanted to back out of the room. "I don't, I just came to see Frank" Alice replied.

They stepped out and Mad-eye started to walk away with Sirius. "Frank will want to question him" Alice told Mad-eye.

Mad-eye nodded at her. Sirius was even more scared of Frank right now. No telling what Frank would do. "I'll want to question who?" Frank asked stepping up to them.

Frank saw Sirius and knew right away. "I'll take it from here Alastor. Alice if you would like to wait at my desk, I'll talk to you afterwards" Frank said.

Alastor handed Sirius over. Sirius started to fight. He didn't want to go. Frank pushed him forward. Alice and Alastor walked away. "Why Frank? I could have handled it" Alastor said.

Alice knew that, but Frank would be better right now. "Frank could get more out of him plus Frank won't press as hard" said Alice.

"Right and we need to question him before Fudge gets here" Alastor spoke.

Alice forgot about Fudge. Sirius wouldn't stand a chance and they needed to know the truth right away. Frank threw him in the chair. "Why did you do it?" Frank asked harshly.

He wasn't going to hold anything back. Sirius looked Frank in the eye. He wouldn't back down either.
