Chapter 30

Sirius felt like he was taking the walk of doom as he made his way up to his study. He knew he was being irrational, Moony was just as much with the dark as he was, but still, he wasn't used to acting without Moony being there; he was the very necessary filter. He sat down in front of the fire and Moony took the chair opposite, the werewolf didn't speak, he just gave Sirius an even stare that never failed to make him fidget.

"I didn't miss out that much, I swear!" Sirius burst out, not being able to take that look any longer. Merlin, Moony could sell that expression to the aurors, they would get confessions instantly!

"What exactly did you miss out?" Moony asked calmly, continuing his stare even though he wasn't too worried. Lucius, Izar and the Dark Lord were with Sirius, they wouldn't have let him do anything too mad for the sake of their own reputations if not for anything else.

"Well, there was more to Potter's argument over Lily." Sirius said with a sigh, "Augusta Longbottom spoke and James, or rather Dumbledore, knew exactly what to say to that."

"Was it that obvious Dumbledore was doing the speaking?" Remus questioned and Sirius nodded.

"Yes, because I've dealt with Dumbledore, I know how he works." Sirius shook his head, "Potter claimed Lily lacked maternal instincts which is why she was willing to sell out her daughter to steal Heirlooms."

"What!" Remus exclaimed, "That's ridiculous!"

"Yeah well, it gets worse." Sirius warned, "He then played on her lack of Pureblood. He claimed that she didn't understand the connection those of old blood have with their children."

"He what!? That is outrageous! How could he even think about saying that?" Remus demanded.

"He's gone, Moony. If we didn't already know that there was no hope for him, then the session would have confirmed it for me." Sirius ran a hand through his hair, "And when he confronted us, I barely recognised him."

"He confronted you?" Remus repeated, and Sirius grimaced.

"Yeah, about that…" He shot his mate a bright smile but Remus just gave him a look that said speak now. "Fine. Dumbledore and Potter came up to us after the trial."

"And?"

"It was basically a time where they both thought it acceptable to threaten and insult us, it didn't work all that much and the Dark Lord is really good with words." Sirius told him. "James claimed I was hiding behind the Dark Lord's cloak at one point."

"He does realise that the opposition party/house cannot vote during a hearing, right?" Remus said slowly and Sirius shrugged.

"His lack of sense grows daily."

"What else happened?"

"Dumbledore warned that our actions would have 'greater consequences' and James was convinced we were going to 'pay the price'." Sirius smirked at that and Remus rolled his eyes.

"That's nothing compared to the storm heading his way."

"That's what I said!"

"What else?"

"Ah, now, you have to understand, I know it was impulsive and reckless, but I did know what I was doing." Sirius began and Remus sighed.
