I Know Your Secret

The Secrets in the Truth

Harry was sitting in his office later that day (staying clear of students asking questions), and playing Pac-man on his computer when there was a knock at his door. He was surprised out of his thoughts when he called to enter while pausing his game, looking up the door opened and Ginny Weasley walked in with Luna Lovegood, her blonde Ravenclaw best friend beside her. They reported on-well odd things mostly, and Ginny was more of a camera-girl than reporter, but they could find other more realistic things to report on if they wanted as they were both clever girls.

"What can I do for you girls?" he asked as they came in and Luna closed the door after them with a dreamy smile on her lips.

"We wanted to do a story on Sirius Black," Luna replied as she placed that day's copy of the Daily Prophet on his desk and opened it to a page ranting on about Sirius' guilt and how he should die, which was really one-sided and never offered any proof on anything.

Harry couldn't help but smirk while Ginny nervously fiddled with the camera around her neck looking uncertain. Ron had obviously blabbed enough for her to get the gist and suggest reporting on it, and getting new thought and insight out on the matter.

"I see, and you think you can give fair judgment?" he asked as he sat upright on his chair from where he had slumped before, his paused game on screen. They both nodded greatly in agreement. "Well, okay, but I suggest reading between the lines of most involved. Try bringing forth enough doubt that the kiss on sight for the dementors is revoked at the least. If you could swing it, and I know you girls are smart enough, try to make a public outcry for a trial. I'm sure if we could manage to get such a response you'll both be welcome to report the trial first hand."

"We will," they both agreed with nods.

"B-but Harry," Ginny stuttered out timidly. "A-are you sure he's innocent?"

Harry smiled at her. "Innocent until proven guilty my dearest Ginevra," he replied gently. "If I didn't know the truth and thought logically at the time I would have still said that then. Make sure that the readers see that this is about proper justice, and that the wizarding community, and especially the ministry has an obligation to give a fair trial to every man or woman accused of committing a crime."

They both nodded happy with the task they had been given before leaving his office. He grinned at the thought of actually guilting the wizarding world into giving Sirius a fair trial. This way the little traitor would be the one they hunted. Justice was something important to Harry as he hoped justice would see his parent's murderer punished someday no-matter what the punishment was. But then he didn't look forward to that day as he knew there was so much more to it and he didn't know what would happen in the end.

Sitting back in his chair he took a short while to think things through. If he could play the world long enough he could start charging for the Hogwarts Frontier to become self-sufficient in the long run and to be able to distribute itself all over the UK, to compete with the Daily Prophet as the Fairytale Frontier. However, at the moment they could only get the paper out three times a week: Monday's, Wednesday's, and Saturday's. It was good enough though for the time being, and if demand picked up they would be golden as Fairytale would have reason to invest more money.

He had also made sure to put in reports from the muggle world, if they were worth reporting, and would have put in stuff like movie reviews if he could get a student or two clearances to leave school to go to the cinema. However, he supposed that all in good time and then he would have the magical UK's most read paper/magazine.

Shaking his head clear his door was knocked on before Lee Jordon barged in (if it's not locked-your problem if someone caught you up to no good) with a grin with the Weasley twins tailing him.
