[Thoughts]

Sirius Black

Harry sat on his bed packing his trunk. He was glad that he was finally able to stay with Albus instead of going to the Dursleys. He was excited.

Neville saw this and went over to Harry. "What are you so excited about?"

Harry told Neville everything. He may not be as close to Neville like he was to Ron and Hermione but Neville was still a close friend that Harry confided in.

"Dean, Seamus come here!" Neville called.

"What?" They asked when they arrived.

"Harry isn't going back to the Dursleys." Neville said happily as he hugged Harry.

"Really? Why?" Seamus asked as he joined the hug.

Neville repeated what Harry told them. Dean smiled as he too joined the hug. They were happy that Harry was finally going to be loved.

"We are happy for you Harry." Dean said to him.

"Hey, a group hug." Ron said as he entered. "I'll join too." He said cheerfully and joined the hug.

"Ron." Harry said with a groan. The effect was ruined by the smile on his face.

"Hermione, come quick! We are having a group hug!" Ron shouted and soon the brunette witch arrived and joined in on the hug.

"Seriously you guys and Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Yup!"

"Yes really!"

"Totally Serious!"

"Teehee!"

"Haha!"

"Ug!" Harry groaned at them causing them to laugh.

They soon separated and Harry scrambled away. The group began to laugh once again.

"Finally I can breathe again." He said as he took some deep breaths. "Anyway Albus is going to go get Sirius. He is going to bring him to the ministry then to the hospital. Albus said that we can visit when he is ready."

"That's great Ry." Hermione said as she began helping him pack. "Did you want us to come with you?"

"Of course I do." He said.

"Then we will be there." She said.

"Great." Harry grinned.

(With Sirius Black)

Sirius had been confused when Albus came and took him to the ministry. He thought that the man was trying to help him so why was he bringing him to a place that he was being hunted. He was shocked when the minister himself came over to him and declared him innocent but needed to be checked out by healers.

Soon he was at the hospital and put into a room. The healers began to cast spells. All the while Sirius had no idea what was going on. When asked, a healer told him that the headmaster of Hogwarts and the minister would be by later to talk with him.

He laid back and waited. He was miffed that he was just brushed off like that but there was nothing that he could do. Soon the healers left with a ton of scrolls.

A healer turned and looked at Black. "We will go through these and see what is wrong and come back to talk to you about it."

"O-okay."

It wasn't long before the minister and Albus arrived. Albus sat near Sirius while the minister stood at the end of the bed. They then told Sirius what happened. Sirius was beyond pissed to say the least. He couldn't believe what Lily and James had done to Harry. Not even his own mother would have done that and that was considering she wanted to disown him for not being dark.

"I can't believe those bastards." Sirius hissed out in anger.

"Neither could we. I was in shock when I heard what came out of their mouths." The minister said.

"Harry was shocked and upset." Albus said.

"Harry was there!?" He asked in shock and horror.

"Yes. The minister and myself thought that it was important for Harry to hear the truth himself." He looked so guilty about that.

"Unfortunately we didn't think it was like this." The minister continued sadly. He read the report and wished that the young boy hadn't been there for it.

"I can't believe them. I never knew any of this and neither did Remy." He said.

"I had hoped so." Albus said with a relieved sigh.

"What?" Sirius asked in confusion.

"Harry would be crushed if you had known that his parents were frustrated and abandoned him for being fussy and that you knew and lied to him." He explained.

The grim animagus sighed. "You're right. He would be crushed. Whenever me and Remus were around they seemed like great parents. They were always holding him and playing with him."

"They did?" He asked.

"Yeah. Had I known I would have said something." He said.

"How could you have?" The minister asked. "From what I had seen, Crouch was convicting people without a trial and never let them speak."

"That is true. I tried saying I was innocent and that I would use the veritaserum but they said that as a death eater I would have found a way around that." He revealed.

"Who's they?" He asked.

"Crouch and the newer aurors at the time." He answered.

"I see." Fudge said through clenched teeth. "That is why I dislike that man."

"He never liked me anyway. He was angry with how Mad-eye liked me and that I was great at my job." He reminded them.

"I remember." The minister stated. "You were Moody's protégé."

"When can I see Harry?" He asked.

"We don't know yet. We are waiting for the healers to return." He told him.

"Oh, okay." Sirius said in slight disappointment. He really hoped that it would be soon.

"Albus?" The minister looked at him.

"Oh yes that is right. Harry will be staying with me until you are released. I promise to bring him in for a visit regularly." Albus told Sirius.

"You will?" He asked in hope.

"Yes I will, Sirius. Harry can't wait to see you." He confirmed.

"That's great. What about Remus?" He asked.

"He is in France." Albus told him.

"What? Why?" He looked shocked.

"France is more tolerant of course." The minister said.

"Will he come back?" He asked.

"Hopefully. The minister and I have been trying to reverse some of the werewolf laws." Albus informed him.

"You are?" That was a shock.

"We are." The minister assured.

Before anyone could say anything else the healers returned. They went over to Sirius and once again began casting spells. They nodded to each other before turning to the patient.

"When was the last time you ate a good meal?" A healer asked.

"Thirteen years ago. I believe it was Halloween night." He said although his memory was still a little fuzzy.

Everyone looked at him in shock. They couldn't believe what he had said. The minister looked at Sirius and began to question what happened in Azkaban.

"What did you eat while in prison?" The minister couldn't help but ask.

"They gave us all a gray blob of mush." He answered.

"When you are out come by and tell me your experience. I think I need to improve the conditions of our prison." The minister said. "I must take my leave now."

"Bye minister."

"Thank you and goodbye."

"You are welcome Black." He left after that.

"Mr. Black you are severely malnourished. We are going to give you nutrient potions at every meal until you are where you should be at." The healer who asked told him.

"Okay." He said.

"You will also have sessions with a mind healer." The healer told him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Thanks to the dementors your mind was messed with. The healer will help to restore it." He answered.

"But I didn't go crazy like the others." He said.

"True but the dementors still messed with it. For thirteen years the dementors drained the happiness from you. The effect needs to be reversed." Another healer answered.

"I see your point. Okay I'll see the healer." He said.

"Good. You are magically exhausted from doing a lot of wandless magic." He told Sirius. "Don't use any magic for at least a week."

"I will try." He said.

"Good. That seems to be all. Any questions?" He asked.

"When can my godson visit?" He asked.

"Tomorrow he can start visiting. Anyone you want can visit you tomorrow." He said.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." With that the healers left.

"Get some rest Sirius. I will inform Harry that we will visit tomorrow." Albus said.

"Okay."

"Expect extras." He warned.

Sirius chuckled. "I will."

Dumbledore left and Sirius laid back and decided to take a nap.
