Frank was sitting at his desk when Kingsley asked him "what didn't Black say? There has to be something that he is keeping secret. Why would he go after Peter if Peter didn't have anything to do with it? It just doesn't make sense."
Frank thought about that for a moment. Kingsley was right. Black had to have a reason and Frank was going to find it out if it was the last thing he did. "Thank you, Kingsley but, I must go. You may be onto some thing" Frank replied.
He didn't answer the question that Kingsley gave him. Frank didn't need too. He ran down the hall and took the lift down. Frank made it to the court room. "Black isn't here. He's in Azkaban already" said Crouch with no emotion in his voice.
Longbottom left Crouch standing there looking puzzled. Frank made it to Azkaban. He signed in at the desk. "Can I see black please? It's important" Frank said.
The guard nodded. He hated his job because of the things guarding Azkaban. "Go in but, he won't want to see you Frank, cell 108" the guard replied.
Frank walked to cell 108. Black was staring at him with his big black eyes. "What do you want?" Black asked.
"If you want to see Harry you will tell me everything you know. I can get you off" said Frank.
Black sat up and looked Frank in the eye. He really would love to see Harry but, was it worth it. Frank looked all serious. "Frank, it's not that simple. You may believe me, but I doubt anyone else will" said Sirius.
As much as Frank could understand that he needed to know the whole truth now. Black was hiding some thing from him. "Come on Black tell me. Look Harry needs you as well as Remus. Come on I want to help you" said Frank.
He really did want to help Sirius if he wanted the help. Sirius let a tear fall. How could he forget about Remus in all of this. Remus didn't know a thing. "Fine, I'll tell you, bu you have to tell Remus everything" Sirius spoke to Frank.
Frank could do that. At least it would get Sirius to talk. "Ok Sirius, start talking. I haven't got all day. I have a family to get back to" said Frank.
Sirius said "James and Lily changed secret keepers. It was my idea. I knew the Death Eaters would come after me. Peter they wouldn't go after. No way anyone would make him a secret keeper. He sold them out."
Frank stood there in shock. He couldn't believe what he heard. There was no way Lily and James would switch secret keepers. "Why did they change secret keepers?" Frank asked.
He wanted to know and hoped Sirius would tell him. "Because James trusted me. Lily also felt it was the right thing to do. I feel bad now because Harry is without parents and it's all my fault" Sirius said putting his head in his hands.
Frank had one more question. The look on his face was changing. Frank looked happier. "So that's why you killed Peter?"
Sirius looked up and nodded. "Yes that is why I killed Peter. As far as I know he is really dead, but he can change into a rat. So he could be faking his death to hide out and wait for Voldmort" said Sirius.
"Thank you. I will talk to Crouch tomorrow. I have the day off but, I can come in. For now I must go" Frank said.
Sirius smiled as Frank left. At least someone knew the truth now. Frank made it home to find his wife making dinner. Harry and Neville were playing with toy wands shock red sparks were coming out of. "You're not that late Frank. You said you would be" Alice spoke to him.
She had noticed that he came in. "Well, I went to see Sirius after Kingsley talked to me. He wondered why Sirius went after Peter when there was no reason too. Sirius told me Lily and James changed secret keepers" Frank said giving Neville a kiss on the head as well as Harry.
They both giggled. "Either he is lying to you or it's the truth. You need to go search their house plus talk to Remus" said Alice.
Peter was hiding out at their house to find out some stuff that he could take back to the Death Eaters. He then would find a wizard family to hide with. "Right you should come with me. Mom and dad can watch the boys. We should go after we eat. I need to head in for a few tomorrow to talk to Crouch then I can come back home" Frank replied.
Alice was ok with that. If they found anything he could take it in as well. They ate there in silence then Alice got the boys ready for bed. Frank got a hold of his father. "Hey dad, can mom and you watch the boys. We have something to do" Frank said.
His father knew it had to do with Sirius. "It's about Sirius Black isn't son?" He asked.
"It is plus I want to find out the truth about some stuff" Frank replied.
His father smiled at his son as his wife walked in. "What's going on?" She asked.
"We're watching the boys" he said.
Augusta nodded. "The boys have been fed and will go down soon. It should be an easy night" Frank said.
Augusta and Greg made it there. Alice came down stairs. "They are asleep. We shouldn't be to long" Alice said.
Greg smiled at her. "Go it's important. Don't worry about a thing. The boys will be fine" said Greg.
Alice believed that because Greg was there. If it had been Augusta she would have put up a fight. They left and made it to Remus's shack. "We have some big news" Alice said as Remus answered the door.
