Chapter 10 Snake Season.
London.
It was rush hour in London as people and vehicles were moving in and out of stores and up and down roads moving with the crowd was a Black-haired girl with green eyes and a familiar black bowler hat, now you may be wondering why someone like Neo would be walking around here instead of inside of a house full of mostly 'goodie-goodies,' well it's that and her curiosity.
'After hearing them talking about a so-called prophecy and doing some research and somehow decided against my judgment to check it out,' Neo thought as she moved down an abandoned alleyway with the red phone booth which is one of the entrances inside the ministry of magic.
'It was this or stealing a coin and flushing yourself down a toilet,' Neo gagged at the thought as she stepped inside the booth To realize it was some type of weird contraption you would find in a museum or your grandparent's home.
'You know for a secret civilization that likes to stay secret you would think they will keep up with the times' Neo thought thinking about those tech shops she passed coming here while the products were not remnant's standard yet but were slowly advancing In quality,
'Then again said civilization is controlled by inbred fascists that probably never set foot on the other side of their borders,' Neo thought after a few tries before figuring out how it works and Inputting the password.
" Hello, welcome to the Ministry of Magic please state your business," Someone said inside the booth.
" School project," Neo said as the booth spit out a silver badge and the floor dropped from under her.
#
Ministry of magic.
As Neo steps out of the booth and onto a large atrium with many fireplaces a witch or wizard flashes out every second as she made her way to some elevators,
" Excuse me miss, but are you the one here for a school project," someone shouted as the short black-haired turned to see a square-jawed woman with close-cropped gray hair and a monocle walking towards her.
" Yes, I have the assignment to write about a dark wizard. Why not one of the worst ones, this Voldemort?" Neo asked, causing anyone who heard it to flinch at the name "Why is everyone flinching at the name, isn't he dead Mrs?"
" Bones, Amanda Bones Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and to answer your question, during the war with that wizard he put a curse on the name so anyone that says it ends up being attacked by his goons, so a few of us haven't gotten over the habit ms.," Bones said as she stared at the short black-haired girl,
" Natasha Torchwick, so tell me what's the chief of the magical police doing down here questioning little old me, Don't you have the mugging to stop," Neo said.
" It's strange ms, Torchwich to have a school student late on vacation walking around here asking questions about dark wizards before her time. What are you looking for that you can't find somewhere else?" Bones ask.
"So is it a crime to wait on your assignment knowing that your family is going to go to Britain knowingly it has the most information on the subject you're writing about," Neo said as Bones took her to a small library and directed her where to go.
As Neo walked through the aisles looking back to see Bones standing by the doorway deciding to use Overactive Imagination to create an illusion of herself before cloaking. She made her way to an elevator took herself down to level nine sneaking her way into the department of mysteries.
After going through a few doors she finds herself in a room filled with glass orbs, one of which catches her eye.
'So this is what is caused all this trouble,' Neo thought as she stared at the orb that had Harry's and A few other's names on it stopping herself from picking it up and remembering they were cursed to anyone besides the ones they were written about, taking her parasol to knock it off the shelf catching it in her hat and wrapping a cloth around it before making her way back as she made her way back into the aisles to see her clone reading some files before calling the clone over breaking It to take its place, as Neo went back to the deck her clone was at reading the files she had noticed she had Information on events up to Voldemort's first attack to the Potter's death which was not that much.
"All right with finding everything ms, Torchwick," Bones said as she walked up to her.
" There is one thing I'm surprised Riddle doesn't have a bounty on him," Neo said catching the Auror off guard before she explains. " You see one of Voldemort's claims he is the heir of so one named Salazar Slytherin so after a bit of research I found the only ones who openly stated they are relatives of his are the Gaunts who have a history of Inbreeding and violence after her father and brother were locked up Merope Gaunt somehow got together with her non-magical neighbor Tom Riddle most likely by magical means, are you following,"
As Neo looked over at Bones who looked like she was still processing what she said before leaving herself and bumping into Tonks. "Oh sorry miss," she said as she noticed the girl whose eyes flashed to brown and pink.
" Neo? How in the, when did you, what are you doing here?" Tonks stuttered,
" Got a little stir-crazy, decided to take a walk, and ended up here. Hey, pig hypothetical question if I told that phone booth I was going to plant a few presents around here what happens?" Neo said as she got a crazy look from Tonks.
" Grr, let's get back to headquarters," Tonks growls, making her way to the Floo network.
"Aye-aye corporal punishment," Neo said as she stepped through the Floo.

Grimmauld place training room
Meanwhile, Harry was training against some training mannequins, testing his new power, after some testing, he found out his semblance allows him to channel energy into his arms and legs making him faster and stronger along with making his spells hit harder than before now after realizing when he uses his semblance his limbs spark up, so after coming across a book on Electrokinesis.
'Okay it says here to generate lightning bolts out of the fingertips is to move your arms in a circular motion,' Harry thought as he stepped into the ring.
Facing the mannequins before waving his arms in a circular motion as he flicks his wrists expecting a lightning bolt to come out of his fingertips but only to get some sparks, as Harry stared at his hand unimpressed only to get cut off from his thoughts by someone giggling, turning over to see Ruby by the doorway.
"Ruby?! How long have you been there?" Harry asked as he stared at his shoes which became interesting.
" I just got here, watcha doing?" Ruby asked, catching Harry off guard.
" Well you see, I was doing a little experiment, I noticed when I used my semblance my arms spark up, trying to see if I'm able to toss lightning bolts," Harry explained.
" Perhaps it just takes some practice," Ruby hummed as Harry thought about it, deciding to try again.
Harry started to circle his arms again before flicking his arms out, causing a small explosion and tossing him back.
" Harry, are you all right?" Ruby said as she ran over to him getting a cough of smoke,
" I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong," Harry said as he sat up as Ruby plopped down next to him.
" Hey, these things take time do you know how long it took for me to master my semblance well let me tell you I was not nearly as fast enough as I was before now," Ruby said bumping into his shower causing his lips to twitch before she bursts into flower pedals grabbing the book.
" Perhaps there is something you miss like a step or something," Ruby said as she sat down next to him and gave him the book, opening it to the page.
But before Harry could start reading he felt a weight on his shoulder and over to see Ruby who had her head on his shoulder before turning his head back to the book ignoring butterflies in his stomach.
{ Lightning generation is a sub-skill of fire magic or pyromancy that allows the user to separate positive and negative energy before directing it into that user's arms and out of the fingertips.
To generate lightning, the user Must have a Clear Mine and Absolute Focus while making circular motions with their arms collecting the outside energy to charge up the bolts before directing it out of their fingertips at the target.
Warning, like any other fire magic, these techniques are hazardous and must be used with Extreme Caution. Anyone attempting to learn this magic must find some form of inner peace within themselves.} Harry read out.
"Now it tells me, why don't they put these things in the beginning," Harry grumbled as Ruby laughed " What does it mean inner peace?"
" Well, has there been anything on your mind lately?" Ruby asked as Harry's thoughts turned to the graveyard and how helpless he was.
Ruby turns to see Harry, who seems lost in his thoughts and decides to take the initiative. " There are a few things I'm not proud of myself, if I was a bit faster and not as reckless there might be a lot more people still living but they would want me to keep moving forward," Ruby said as her hand slipped into Harry's. " Perhaps the ones you lost would want you to do the same,"
Harry thought about what she had said and realized she was right, taking a breath and coming to peace with himself. " Thank you, Rosie," Harry said as he got up, offering a hand to the girl who took it before Harry stepped back into the ring.
" Hold on, I got an idea," Ruby called out as she walked up to him, having him widening stance and having him extend his index and middle fingers.
With her work done, Ruby backed up as Harry faced the mannequins and started to circulate his arms before they began to crackle with electricity as he placed his hands together and threw them outward as an emerald bolt of lightning shot out of his fingertips striking the dummy in between the neck and where the breast bone would be causing a small smokescreen as the two teens to see the mannequin's head to fly off.
" That was awesome! You did it!" Ruby said as she pounced on Harry wrapping her arms around his neck, and knocking Harry over as he rested his hands on her lower back. " I'm so proud of you,"
"Thanks, I guess?" Harry said flustered which Ruby noticed.
" Are you alright Harry?" Ruby asked as she placed a hand on his forehead and cheek. " You don't seem hot,"
" Can you not be snarky for one moment!" someone called out as the two teens went to investigate coming to the sight of Tonks arguing with Neo.
" It's part of my charm Pinky doesn't like it then too bad," Neo said polishing her nails.
" Can't you see we are trying to protect you, what if someone like Malfoy found you," Tonks said trying to get the thought through her head.
"Oh lord have mercy, don't let those inborn get me. You think I'm scared of them. I bet I can do a better job of getting rid of them than you," Neo said.
"Is everything all right here?" Ruby asked as she stepped inside the room only for Tonks to leave the room as Neo gave them a what look.

Grimmauld Place RWBY room
" Unbelievable, Where in the brothers were you thinking, these people gave us a place to stay and you are antagonizing them," Weiss rented, pinching the bridge of her nose.
" Ice queen does have a point, so far they show us nothing but kindness," Yang said as Blake brushed her hair 'Besides a few incidents with the local mother hen,' Yang thought.
"I don't know about you Blondie, so far from what I have seen. If we didn't meet a certain wizard they would have had us kicked out long ago," Neo said. " And two the only thing I care about going back home by the look they have done squat to help us,"
"Well we do have to consider that they are in the middle of a war of their own, you have to expect they will be too busy to help us," Ruby pointed out.
" Hey, Red why don't you go find your boy toy I have something to show him," Neo said which got Ruby red as her cape before she could reply someone knocked on their door,
As Blake got up to open the door to see Harry on the other side. " Hey wizard were you standing there the whole time or are you psychic," Neo said as Harry seemed to think for a second before Neo pulled out a small glass orb of her hat.
" What is that?" Ruby asked as Neo tossed the orb to Harry.
" This Red is what everyone in this club has been talking about, go ahead Wizard smash that thing," Neo said as Harry dropped the orb causing it to split open.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..." A woman's voice echoed.
As the voice echoed in the room Harry was one of the first people to realize what it meant. 'This, this is why Voldemort went after my family,' Harry thought as his hands sparked before Ruby slipped her hand into his, breaking him from his thoughts.
" Thanks, Rosie, a part of me knew that I was going to be the one to finish him," Harry said murmuring the last part.
"You don't have to do it alone, with one of Beacon's top teams, team RWBY plus Jaune, Voldemort and his Death Eaters don't stand a chance," Ruby said, giving him an encouraging smile.
" Sorry Red but I call dibs on this one you and your merry band have to wait your turn, because by the sound as long as that slimeball is still around we might not be able to leave," Neo said walking over to her cot.
" You know it's quite impossible to kill him, there are still those Horcruxes out there," Blake said as Neo pulled out a knife bag.
" Got a plan for that," Neo said as she pulled out a bowie with a blade that looked like it was made out of bone and Human-like teeth on the spine.
' That better not be human,' Weiss quietly commented as Neo's hand bush against the teeth as it seemed they were pulling against her aura. " What is that?"
"It's a jawbone of a Dementor," Neo said as she sheesh the blade slinging it up her sleeve,
"So, what is your plan here?" Harry asks as he tries to piece together what she was up to.
" Simple find out where they're hiding, shank anyone that comes between me moldy and claim my pound of flesh or in this case, a piece of soul, all you need to do is find some type of spell to track its brothers down, is that possible dog?" Neo thought out as Sirius and Moody stepped into the doorway.
" The idea, in theory, may work, but you're talking about breaking into a home that contains powerful protection charms which unless they willingly let you in, otherwise you're not getting in there without them knowing at best at worse well you don't want to know, also the matter I don't think it's wise for you to go and risk having them discover aura having seen what a wizard with aura can do, now imagine if that ended up in the wrong hands," Moody said as his gazes turned to Harry who shifted uncomfortably.
" As if those inborn can ever catch me, I did just fine before," Neo huffed.
" Those weren't Death Eaters, if anything they were the pawns, what you will be facing is the back row, though they may have claimed to be imperious they were Riddle's best warriors, are you following?" Moody asks only to get a smile from the girl before she dissipates in a pink shimmer. cursing when he noticed the window was open and looked at the others in the room as they gave him an apologetic look before exiting the room grumbling.

Malfoy Manor's front gate
As a small brown rat scurried around before it noticed someone approaching the front gate shifting into a small rat-like man before he stepped up to the entrance.
" Who's there?" Wormtail said before he noticed the person he was talking to was in a black hooded robe with a skull-like mask. " The dark lord is not in the right mood right now, you should come back," The man tried to explain before he noticed the person had a small glass ball in their hand as he wanted to take it only to get slapped to his hand.
" All right maybe the dark lord should see it for himself," He murmured as he opened the gates and walked up to the manor not noticing The person he was talking to shimmered revealing Neo as she followed him with a skip.
As they step into the manor before making their way into the drawing-room where other death eaters were sitting at a long table at the end of which sat a throne-like chair that was facing away from everyone else, Wormtail walk up to the throne talking to the man as Neo sees a newspaper with the headline.
{ You Know Who, Origins revealed By Rita Skeeter.
It has been 14 years and ten months since the dark wizard known as he shall not be Named, you know who or better known as Voldemort was vanquished, there are still not many that can say the name, now My dear readers I believe it's time to bring this Boogeyman into the light.
In the year 1926, A family known as the Gaunts once lived in a small shack in Little Hangleton, now the Gaunts were a Pure-blood family known for insanely and violence along with their inbreeding with their cousins, But the main claim is said to be a direct relation to Salazar Slytherin after her father and brother were arrested for assaulting a muggle, After which the daughter Merope Gaunt ensnared the same muggle that her father and brother assaulted, Tom Riddle with the use of a love potion most likely. Sometime later Merope stops using the potion And Tom went off leaving ms, Gaunt and her unborn child to fend for themselves, later Merope would pass away at Wool's Orphanage after having a child who she named after his father.
11 years later Tom was given his exception letter by none other than Albus Dumbledore despite the rumors about what time was bullied and the cruelty to animals. Invite him to Hogwarts.
In his Hogwarts years, Tom Riddle has been a model student with top grades and was respected by professors until the year 1942-43 The Chamber of Secrets opens unleashing the monster that petrified 6 students and killed one until the perpetrator was caught by none other than Tom Riddle himself, my dear readers aren't Tom related to Salazar Slytherin You all right that's because he's framed one Rubeus Hagrid and his Acromantula for the Instant,
After Hogwarts Tom Riddle disappeared until 1970 when he came back under a new name and started a bloody war that lasted 11 years Until Halloween 1981 bear The Potters sacrificed themselves to Vanquish the dark lord Leaving " the boy who lived," Harry Potter but no one knows what happened that night dead Harry Potter doing any Miracles or something his parents did.
For more information on Tom Riddle turn to page 3
on page 2 Are love potions dangerous?}
Neo read before it burst into flames.
" What a load of rubbish, What does Skeeter think she's doing?" one Walden Macnair snarled.
" I will talk to Barnabas Cuffe myself to get this cleared up," Lucius Malfoy said as he got up as a Spider-like hand stopped him as the throne turned to show a pale man with snake-like features and red eyes.
"Enough, while you imbeciles squawked about politics, this one bought me what I asked for, now give me the prophecy," Voldemort said as he held out his hand.
" How much is this glass ball worth to you?" Neo thought out well tossing the glass orb up and cashing it. " I say by the looks of this place you can easily on 400 Galleons,"
When the others heard that they gave her a look of outrage before Voldemort raised his hand to silence them, " Pay the girl what she wants," Voldemort said as Lucius gave him a questionable look for a second before counting out the coins and placing them in a sac tossing it to her. " Now give it to me,"
" As you wish," Neo said as she tossed the orb up and cashed it before walking over to hand it to him.
As Voldemort reaches over to grab it, looking up as his eyes thin in concentration before noticing the person shimmered a pink glow as he pulls his arm back Neo grabs the arm and pulls him out of the throne turning the orb into the jawbone knife placing the teeth against his neck as the other Death Eaters pulled out their wands.
" Last not do anything hasty here, as you can see you're are outnumbered girly," Lucius snarled as Neo's disguise shimmered way,
" I don't think you get it you all are outmatched," Neo said as she plunged a knife into Voldemort's side before throwing him at the others and making her way out swinging the bag of gold into Lucius's face and knocking him down.
" Do not let her escape, I want her alive," Voldemort groaned as he waved his wand to heal himself as the Death Eaters raced down the hull to catch up to her.
As Avery, Crabbe, and Walden walk into another room to search for their intruder. " Come out, come on out little girl we won't hurt you too much," Avery call out only to find a blade protruding from his chest as he fell his two pals turned only for Crabbe to Clenched his throat falling leaving Walden who raised his ax before he found both of his knees slashed as you look up the last thing he saw was his ax slamming down on him.
Meanwhile, as Pettigrew walked through a hallway with a dozen others down Death Eaters bumped into someone with a slight yep. " Oh, I thought you were, oh dragon dung," Pettigrew said as He realized the person he bumped into was the one they were looking for, only to get hit by an umbrella crossed the face,
As Neo stared down at Pettigrew and remembered there are a few people who love to talk to him, but before Neo could continue with her plan a hissing caught her attention turning to see a giant snake as it ruse up its head up eyes flashing red before it lunged only to find itself impaled on the bone blade as Neo pulls the knife out only to see some black smoke was seen going into one of the teeth after putting the sword away Neo sweated Pettigrew over her shoulder and disguising themselves before making their way out of the mansion quickly before heading to the gate as they passed it Neo typed out on her scroll.
{ send the elf to my location like yesterday,} A few moments later Keature popped in before seeing unconscious Pettigrew,
" Well what are you doing elf get me out of here," Neo said as Keature disapparates back with Pettigrew for the ride.

Grimmauld place training room
Meanwhile, some of the residents at Grimmauld Place observed green and red blurs zooming around the training room. on closer inspection, the blurs were Harry and Ruby sparring with pieces of bamboo Harry wielding his like a sword while Ruby wielded hers like a staff.
" Is it just me or is this sparring session turning into more of a dance," Yang said as she noticed the smiles on their faces as Harry paired Ruby's movements blow for blow.
" Like you didn't turn yours so make out section," Weiss answered as Blake whistled innocently as Harry paired another blow locking the sticks together.
" You got better Harry, and you manage to keep up with me," Ruby said.
" Thank you, but I got you right where I want you," Harry said as Ruby used the other end of her bamboo to swipe his legs and place one end towards his neck before she offered him a hand to pull him up as her scroll pined. " Does anyone know where Kreature is?" Ruby asks as said elf pops in.
" You called lady Rose," Kreature said as he stood up with intention, making the occupants jump.
" Will I need you to find Neo and bring her…" Ruby explained as Kreature popped away mid-sentence "Back,"
A few moments later Kreature pops back with two black hooded figures which made the occupants reach for their weapons,
" Calm down you numbskulls It's me," Neo said shaking the illusion off which made the others lower their weapons before looking at the other hooded figure.
"Who's that?" Blake asks as she stared at the other one the illusion broke off him as well revealing a rat-like man,
" I never returned empty-handed kitty cat and I brought some takeout," Neo said as she tossed the dagger to Blake who quickly caught it as everyone else looked over to the Man as Harry's eyes glowed.
" Pettigrew," He growled as the man started to stir, sitting up before he noticed the other people in the room.
" Harry!?" Pettigrew asks before taking off to the door only to bump into Sirius as he fell back.
" What the Wormy?" Sirius said shocked as he looked around the room.
"If I had time I would have wrapped him up for you," Neo said as she polished her nails.
" Kreature, is the prime Florean Fortescue still in the cold storage, why don't you go fetch it," Sirius said as the elf walked out of the room with Neo.
After they left the room Sirius turned to Pettigrew with a sinister smile as the rat backed up into Harry who gave him a cold look right as Peter noticed his legs glow a silver green before Harry brought his right foot back and delivered a kick which hit him in the chest sending him flying across the room into the bleachers which broke.
" Harry, aren't you supposed to be saying fore," Sirius commented with a slight smirk.
"Don't you need him alive with him dead you will be on the run for the rest of your life, I'm not saying you can't hurt him, for everything he did I wouldn't blame you and if any of us were in your shoes he might be brought in a little tender, but at least keep him in one piece," Blake said as Sirius groaned a bit before flicking his wand to lift Pettigrew out of the bleachers tossing him around the room for a few minutes before bouncing him into the floor in front of Remus who look down at him like he was a piece of dirt before Remus lifts Pettigrew to his feet.
" Moony, please have mercy please," Wormtail bagged only to get a knee to his gut.
" You are lucky we need you alive or Moony might have a new chew toy on the next full moon," Remus snarled as his eyes glowed an amber color, as he threw Pettigrew across the room sliding him close to the remnants.
" Girls, please Help me!" Wormtail cried which unknown to him made Harry's hands sparkle.
" Why, why did you betray them? From what I heard Harry's dad treated you like family so why did you choose that maniac over them?" Ruby asked as she had a look that was between disgusted and pity.
" The order was losing as the Death Eaters were allowed to use any spell they wanted we were not allowed to use anything as harmful as a stunner, It's not like someone like you would understand you're only a filthy Mudblood," Peter said before getting hit by a surge of lightning from Harry, " ARRG!" Before it stops leaving Peter smoking and wheezing,
" If you so much as whispered that word again the next blast is not going to be light," Harry snarled shaking his hand free from smoke.
" When did you start doing that?" Remus asks astonishingly.
" Oh, I was curious what would happen if I spread my fingers apart. Apparently, it lowers the power but it's still effective," Harry said as Moody came into the room.
" Hey, You do know someone is going to have to bring him into the Ministry and how would that person explain what happened to this one," Moody rented, pinching the bridge of his nose.
" Don't you fellows have spells that can heal most injuries so why not let them below some steam off against the one that made their life miserable, as for cashing him that might take some muggle magic," Neo said as she ate her ice cream.
" What do you mean muggle magic?" Sirius asked.
" I believe those twins have some fireworks if rework can be made into decent fire bombs Isn't there abandoned buildings at that shopping center," Neo said.
"There is one problem, how do you know the Death Eaters will show up?" Moody asks as Neo snapped her fingers as an illusion of Lord Voldemort appeared. "Oh,"
#
Diagon Alley
As the shoppers were walking in and out of stores a dozen black smoke clouds flew above them before perching themselves on top of some buildings the smoke dissipated revealing themselves to be black-cloaked wizards before a pale wizard perching himself on the tallest building raising his wand and shooting a beam of light which hit a few buildings causing them to explode sending debris into the crowd pushing them to scatter.
Moments later several other individuals in red cloaks entered the shopping area with Amanda Bones leading them as they saw the Individual on the tallest building.
" It can't be, That's Impossible, It's him." The Aurors mumbled with Bones the only one keeping a straight face as the pale wizard turned back to smoke and buzzed over the Aurors' heads.
" Don't let him escape, and can someone stop them as well!" Bones commanded as she spotted the wizards flying down into the other alleyways the Aurors followed them and Bones chased after the pale wizard who seemed to disappear without a trace.
As they regrouped to report that the others disappeared too before they saw one of the cloaked figures hovering about their heads being dragged by Alistair Moody,
" Sergeant Moody, what brings you in town, my friend," Bones said as she holstered her wand.
" I happened to be in the area, caught this slimeball trying to sneak past me, and what did I tell you about wand safety," Moody said, dropping said slimeball onto the ground.
" Knowing you, you have him restrained so tight I'm surprised he is even breathing, and by the looks of it the others have left," Bones said as she pulled the mask off revealing Peter Pettigrew.
" Pettigrew? But isn't he supposed to be dead?" Bones asks as she notices his right hand is made out of silver and curiosity got the better of her lifting his sleeve to see a familiar tattoo.
" Proudfoot, Savage, take him into the Ministry holding cells, don't let anyone in unless it's me or Scrimgeour," Bones ordered. As the two took Pettigrew away, Bones turned back to Moody, " You know I can talk to Scrimgeour to have you reinstalled especially if who I think might be back," Bones said.
" Thanks for the offer but I had to sleep on it," Moody said as he turned away before calling out " Oh, by the way, you may want to look into Black's case file,"
" Thanks, I will," Bones said as she returned to the Ministry of Magic to look for said case file which had.
' Nothing, There was nothing only that he was captured and was tossed into Azkaban,' Bones thought as she made her way into the Wizengamot chambers bumping into Scrimgeour.
" Amelia, you seemed to be in a hurry, is everything all right?" Scrimgeour asked,
" I've been going through some old case files on Sirius Black, but it only has his capture form besides that it seems like he was just tossed into Azkaban," Bones said as they entered the chambers.
" Well we were in the middle of a war, There were going to be a few cases rushed but all the evidence seemed pretty obvious," Scrimgeour said,
" Tell that to Peter Pettigrew who I have locked up in the holding cells," Bones said as they stopped bluntly as Scrimgeour gave her a Are you sure look. " With all those flushing potions I have in his system, I even tried DNA testing, so unless necromancy got good enough to back someone just the way they were, it's him."
" Tell me more about this DNA testing," Scrimgeour ask as Bones explained the concept as they step into the chamber only for the minister to notice them,
" Bones this better be a good reason to be dragged down here," Cornelius Fudge said impatiently.
" Well sorry to put you out of your office Minister but a few hours ago an attack in Diagon Alley the perpetrators appear to be Death Eaters," Bones explain as she signals someone to bring in the perpetrator witch reveal to be Peter Pettigrew before he found himself forced into the chair that was in the middle of the room causing pandemonium inside the chamber.
"Hem hem, I'm not sure what game you are playing Bones but this," Umbridge said, trying to dismiss the case.
" Oh, this is no game Ms, undersecretary I tried every flushing potion we had unless we have a full-grown resurrection on our hands this is Peter Pettigrew," Bones said as she ordered someone to wake him up.
" Where, where am I?" Pettigrew groaned.
" Evening Mr. Pettigrew, you are Peter Pettigrew correct?" Bones ask.
" Um, what?" Pettigrew mumbled as he noticed where he was before he was struggling to get out of a chair.
" I'll take that as a yes, are you aware of the terrorist group known as the Death Eaters attacked Diagon Alley a few hours ago you were found in the robes aligned with the said group added on the fact you're being charged with tax evasion as will," Bones said before she leered down at him. " Now would you tell the court why a war hero like yourself faked his death?"
" Well you see at the time I was hiding from the Death Eaters who believed I was the one that led the dark lord to his defeat and the Order for betraying the Potters," Pettigrew said out loud only to seal his mouth as The room erupted in chatter as Bones made a cannon blast out of her wand.
" Order! Mr. Pettigrew, do you mind explaining that last part, " Bones said.
" It was because I told the dark lord where to find them, I didn't expect it at first but when they made me the Secret Keeper it was very easy I thought he would have spared James for being a rich Pureblood can get any girl he wants, then after he went in the house exploded I only found a black cloak and their son alive, Before I could do anything I heard the roar of motorcycle grabbing the dark lord's wand and getting out of there. A few days later Sirius corner me knowing I would be in a world of hurt if not dead decided to frame him for turning on the Potters by blowing up the street using my rat form to escape." Pettigrew explained,
" So you're saying to the court you are an Animagus?" Bones ask.
" Yes, alone with James and Sirius we became Animagus by our fifth year to help Remus during his time of the month though I heard James and Sirius talk about registering after the war," Pettigrew explained.
" Last question, where were you hiding in these fifth-teen years," Bones asked.
" After escaping to the source I tracked down a magical family so I'll know what is going on in the world finding the Weasleys becoming their pet for twelve years before finding out Sirius escaped who cornered me in the shrinking shack It was only Remus's timely transformation for myself to get out of there where I found myself in…"
" I believe that's enough we have what we need," Fudge Interrupted as Percy Weasley who was sitting next to him turned a slight green color.
" On the contrary, I believe we have a witness we want to question," Bones said as the Courtroom doors opened to show Tonks and Shacklebolt leading a clean-shaven Sirius in a suit.
" Hi, Amy, you look as beautiful as ever," Sirius said as Bones still had her poker face but you could see a lip twitch before he sat down in a chair that was in the center of the room before restraints wrapped around his wrists and ankles. " Oh, kinky,"
"Black, in exchange for the kiss on site to be removed you are to summarize the events from October 31st, 1981 to your arrest and to tell the truth after which the court will determine your fate, to return to Azkaban or not." Bones said as Sirius swore to tell the truth of the events.
" How come I wasn't notified of this?" Fudge said not liking being the last to know.
" Perhaps if your secretary was doing her job you might have been made aware of it," Bones said smirking as she saw Umbridge stutter,
" Well it all started when I noticed Pettigrew had been quiet and I went to his home to check on him, noticing it was empty, and quickly made my way back to the Potters seeing their home destroyed with James and Lily dead, " Sirius said, choking out a sub. " After digging my godson out of the house bumping into Hagrid on my way out realizing Harry would be safer with him, After giving Harry to Hagrid I went to look for the rat finding him In a busy street as he yelled I was the one who betrayed James and Lily pulling out his wand blowing up the street thinking he blows himself up then grief finally hit me, the last thing I knew I was tossed in a cell in Azkaban,"
" Thank you Mr. Black now lords & ladies of Wizengamot I believe it's time to cast judgment. Sirius Black on the chargers for the murder of Pettigrew and the twelve Muggles, for giving the information about the Potters' whereabouts which lead to their death, and for being in the service of the dark wizard known as Tom Riddle on three-quarters to one of the courts finds you not guilty," Bones said as the restraints loosen Sirius let out a breath of relief as he muttered a few words,
" Peter Pettigrew on the chargers for the murder of twelve Muggles, for giving the information about the Potters' whereabouts which lead to their death and for being in the service of the dark wizard known as Tom Riddle, along with tax evasion, faking one's death, and suspected pedophile, at this moment the court finds you guilty, henceforth you will be placed in a holding cell until your sentencing hearing takes place the end of this month," Bones said as she called the court to dispersed.
As Pettigrew was led away Sirius made his way out of the courtroom spotting his godson Harry in the stands along with Ruby and Remus before getting called by someone turning to see Bones walking up to him.
" Mr. Black I suggest you get your Animagus registered before you leave and check in with a mind healer," Bones said before leaning down the whisper "It's good to have you back Siri,"
As she made her way out Harry and Remus walked up to Sirius snapping him out of his trance, " Padfoot are you ok," Remus asked.
" You know I don't think I have ever had Chinese food, why don't we grab some," Sirius said as exit the court with a light pep in his step as his friends followed him. ' It's good to be free.' Sirius thought.
