Hoping for a Trial (Part 1)
Lily's POV
"Peter was secret keeper?" Remus asked.
"Yes," James said. "He was secret keeper."
Remus seemed like he was mad, which I don't blame him for. "You never told me?"
He seemed hurt. "Rem, we're sorry, we were going to tell you even-"
"EVENTUALLY!?" he yelled.
I heard a whimper. I looked behind James and I and saw Harry. Cowering away from us towards the couch. Eyes wide. Remus might have heard the whimper because he looked behind us and saw Harry as well.
When he saw how scared he was, he calmed. "Harry, I'm sorry-come here."
Harry seemed reluctant, but after I nodded, he hesitantly went to Remus.
"Harry," Remus said. "I'm Remus Lupin, your," he looked up at James and I, "Uncle. I'm sorry for scaring you." He held his arms out for a hug, but Harry stepped back from him.
"I've never heard of you before. Everyone's only told me of my mum and dad.," he looked up at us. "Why didn't you tell me I have an uncle. He's not like Uncle Vernon, is he?"
Why would anyone want to hurt a child!? And why would Petunia, of all people after knowing what happened to Severus, my...friend?, let this happen to her own nephew?
I sighed softly. "No Hazza, he's not. He's actually one of the kindest people I've met!"
"To you maybe. You should see him when you get on his bad side. Let's out a river of cuss words!" James exclaimed.
"Hey!" Remus said. "Ok, yeah. It's true."
Feels like we're back at Hogwarts in our sixth year, when we would sit around the common room after homework. "Anyway, Harry, you have another uncle. His name is Sirius. As for why you don't know of them, your other uncle and aunt never liked them. But why you weren't told of them in Hogwarts, is beyond my knowledge."
Harry had a confused face. "Whose. . . Serious?"
James then laughed. "It's 'Sirius'. Hey Moony, remember all those jokes? The 'Sirius' jokes?"
Both James and Remus had a mischievous glint in their eyes. Remus replied with "You can't be 'Sirius'! I thought we promised to not do this without his knowledge!"
Merlin, these people! I could never say 'Sir-Serious' without them cracking a joke!
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "If I may interrupt, but how about we discuss a trial for Mr Black, seeing you are alive and well?"
"Yes!" James yelled. Harry covered his ears and stepped back, then came backs up with us. "We need our four-third Marauder back."
Remus rolled his eyes. "He also just needs to get out and be well, James."
"Yes, he does. Now, what are the details?"
Dumbledore then explained that we need to go to the ministry, showing that we are alive, thus helping in giving Sirius a trial. Seems easy.
"But, there is a catch. Cornelius may not want to do a trial. He may even deny that you are alive, saying you are Death Eaters." Dumbledore said.
James squinted his eyes. "Like you did?"
Dumbledore chuckled nervously. "Yes, sorry about that. But Cornelius will most likely refuse to believe that you're alive."
"We'll make him believe. You'll see. No one who is innocent deserves to be in Azkaban."
Hullo!!! I am alive! This is only Part one of three of this chapter. Keep an eye out for the next two parts. I my publish them today, or tomorrow, but they will be up by the end of the week to make up for being gone for so long. Anyway. hoped you enjoyed this chappy, and please comment your ideas and thoughts. Your comments make me happy.
