The Truth about Sirius Black

A/N: Hey loves! Welcome backk

---

Hermione got in front of me and Harry, looking scared but determined. "If you want to kill them, you'll have to kill us too."

"No, only one will die tonight." Black said in a vague tone, coming towards us.

"And it'll be you!" Harry said roughly, pushing Hermione and grabbing Black's throat. I jumped in and helped Harry shove Black to the ground. I took out my wand and pointed it at him, Harry doing the same.

Black let out a hoarse chuckle. "You going to kill me, Harry, Anna?"

"Yes," I growled. "Now shut up so we can finish-" I was cut off by Lupin suddenly bursting in. "Expelliarmus!" he shouted, disarming me and Harry. Lupin jerked his head, which probably meant that Harry and I should get off Black. We got off, quite hastily, and Hermione pulled us towards her and Ron.

"Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, arent we? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within." Lupin said, advancing on Sirius.

"Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you?" Black replied, with a small grin. 

Lupin stared at him for a moment, before lowering his wand. He smiled slightly and pulled Black up in a brotherly hug. Hermione advanced towards them, and I had a clear idea what she was going to do. 

"Let's kill him!" Black was saying.

Him? Did he mean Harry? What about me? I exist in this world too. Just because I'm the only Slytherin here, doesn't mean I should be ignored.

"No!" Hermione shouted. "I trusted you. And all this time, you've been his friend! He's a werewolf!" she continued, in a half desperate-half anguished voice. "That's why he's been missing classes."

Remus looked at her. "How long have you known?"

Hermione glanced at him in a challenging way. "Since Professor Snape set the essay." 

"Well, well, well, Hermione. You really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met." Remus said with a smile.

"Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!" Black screamed from behind.

"Wait!" Lupin faced him sternly.

"I did my waiting!" Black said, looking pained. "12 years of it! In Azkaban!"

There was a silence. Then, "Very well." Lupin said, handing Black the wand. "Kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry and Anna both have the right to know why.

"We know why!" Harry spoke up.

"You betrayed our parents," I said, raising my chin and glaring at Black. "You're the reason they're dead."

"No, Anna, it wasn't him," Lupin said in the same harsh voice. "Somebody did betray your parents, but it was somebody who until quite recently I believed to be dead."

"Who was it then?" Harry asked angrily.

"Peter Pettigrew." Sirius Black said loudly from behind. "And he's in this room! Right now! Come out, come out, Peter! Come out, come out and play!
