Alice walked over to Frank's desk. A young Auror was sitting at the one next to it. Kingsley smiled at Alice. He really didn't know her that well. "How are you doing Mrs. Longbottom?" Kingsley asked.

Alice didn't hear him. She was lost in thought. Looking up at Kingsley she said "did you say something?"

Kingsley wore a bright smile on his face. "Yes I was wondering how you were doing" said Kingsley.

"I'm fine and thank you for asking" Alice said.

Sirius looked at Frank. "Are you going to get on with it. I have better things to do" he said.

Frank stared back. Twocould play that game. "Like finding Peter and killing him. I want to know why you did it" Frank said crossly.

Sirius didn't know why he didn't tell Frank the truth. It wouldn't hurt a thing unless Frank didn't believe him. "Yes I killed him and I'm not sorry that I did it. If I had to do it all over again I would" Sirius replied.

Frank couldn't believe this was the same man that he once knew. He had to press on or he wouldn't get anything out of him. "Why did you betray Lily and James?" Frank asked.

He was curious but, at the same time he wanted to see the look on Sirius face. Sirius turned to looked away. He was trying to hide his tears. "I'm sorry I can't tell you that" Sirius said holding back the tears.

Frank was getting angry. He pounded his fist on the table. "I want to know why right now."

Sirius was taken back. Frank never got angry and if he did you better watch out. "You wouldn't believe me" Sirius said quietly.

Frank strained to hear him. "We have only a few minutes Black before Fudge get's here with Crouch. So tell me now" Frank said in a calm voice.

He just sat there and didn't say a word. Sirius couldn't and wouldn't state the truth. Harry had a good home and that's all he care about. As Frank walked out Sirius said "take care of him."

Frank knew who Sirius was talking about but, didn't replied. He was in an angry mood and how did Sirius know Frank got Harry. Crouch was out there with Fudge. "You get anything out of him?" Fudge asked.

Shaking his head Frank walked away. "He won't get a trial. Take Black away now" Crouch ordered.

Alice stood up as Frank walked up to her. "Are you alright?" She asked.

Frank wasn't but, he didn't want to stress her out any more than Alice was already. "I'm fine, Alice. Just tired. I plan to work late to get this paper work filled out. Don't wait up" he said.

Alice nodded but, she didn't buy it that he was fine. Frank had to be hurting all over. It was a big shock to them all that Black would betray Lily and James. "Ok see you in the morning I guess. Do you work tomorrow?" She asked.

Frank didn't have to work tomorrow but, he hoped to get some work done. "I'm off tomorrow. I was hoping to get some work done but, I could work from home if you need me to" replied Frank.

Alice smiled at Frank. "I would like that. Neville would like to see his dad and I could use the help with them" Alice spoke.

Frank smiled back. He could work from home. "Sounds great to me. I won't get much work done but, it will be OK. I rather be home anyways" Frank said.

Alice leaned on to give Frank a kiss which he returned then she left. Once at home she saw the boys asleep and Remus reading a book. Alice wondered how much to tell Remus. So Alice decided on what she knew. "Remus, Sirius was brought in. Frank was the one to question him. I don't know much more than that" said Alice.

Remus looked up as Alice spoke. He had heard every word but, had nothing to say to it. Remus still couldn't believe it. "The boys just went down for their nap. I have to go now. See you later, Alice" Remus said.

He left in a hurry so that Alice wouldn't see him crying. Remus took it to be true. All his friends were truly gone and there was no one left.
