Chapter 14: Dad!

After we left Hagrids, I made a beeline for Dumbledore's office. The last I heard the password was lemon drops sooo, "lemon drops?" I asked. The gargoyle moved and I did a little happy dance! I hopped on the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Called the headmaster. I opened the door and I saw Professer Dumbledore with his traveling robes. "Ahh, miss black!" He said smiling slightly. "Now before we go I have to brief you on a few things, first of have you opened the box I gave you the last time you were here?" He asked. Crap I completely forgot.
"No sir." I said looking down sheepishly. He sighed and used magic to conjure it. I took it in my hands and opened it up. The first thing I saw was a locket. I took it and opened it up to a sight that brought tears to my eyes. It was a picture of me, Mum, and dad, standing infront of hogwarts. On the other side there was a little peice of paper tucked away safely. 'He is innocent' were written on it. At the very bottom was a diary. I'd read it later. Then underneath all that was a news paper clipping.

DAILY PROPHET
Lily and James Potter were killed by he-who-must-not-be-named, last night in godrics hollow. They were betrayed, by Sirius black, there dear friend as most would say. He also killed, an earlier friend from his school days, Peter Petigrew, and thirteen Muggles.

Okay, so let's do a recap my dads a murderer. He helped kill Lily and James, and fourteen other people. But then... I picked up the note, He is innocent. Put two and two together. Okay so dad is innocent. Did I miss anything in the artical? I retread it and then saw that I skipped a line. 'All that we found of Petigrew was his finger' hmmmm? Wierd. Eh. I turned back to Dumbledore. He raised an eyebrow motioning for me to take his arm. I took it and felt like I was being squished in a tube. When we landed we were standing outside the prison.

"Now miss. Black, while we are in here you will have to be able to preform the patronus charm!" Dumbledore chirped. I nodded. "Okay I want you to think of your best memory, Then with a swish of your wand say 'Expecto Patronum'" Said Dumbledore. I nodded and thought of when I got my letter.
"Expecto Patronum." Nothing.
"Perhaps, a stronger memory." When I got Harry back.
"Expecto Patronum!" I yelled. A doe flew from the tip of my wand and danced around me.
"Ahhh, yes your patronus is the same as Lilly's" said Dumbledore with a small smile. I beamed. "Now follow me!" I nodded and followed closely behind Dumbledore.
We walked up to the secretary's desk. A women with a top that was wayyy to tight for her own good sat wrighting on a piece of parchment. Dumbledore cleared his throat gaining the attention of the women.
"Oh hello Albus! How may I help you?" She finished with a wink.
"I have special permission from the minister to let this young girl see her father." said Dumbledore, he sounded all buisnessy like.
"Oh, ok then." she pointed to a set of doors that, held a tall cloaked figure. We started walking when, I started feeling light headed and depressed.
"Rose, now!" Said Dumbledore.
"Expecto Patronum!" I said as the silver doe flew from my wand. The...thing backed of and in we went. We walked past many cells, until we got to the last cell.
A gaurd threw open the door for us and in we walked. Inside there was a man sitting on a ragged old bed. "Lets leave them be!" Said Dumbledore to the auror. He looked like he was going to protest but thought better of it. They left and I walked over to dad.
"Daddy?" I asked. His head snapped up and he turned around.
"Rose!?" He croaked tearing up as well. I nodded. He ran at me full speed and tackled me in a hug, and I hugged back. "My little girl. My beautiful little girl." He mumbled. I nodded, squeezing him. He pulled away a small smile on his face. "You look so much like your mother!" He said with a little sad laugh. We sat talking to eachother about our lifes, old and new, but then I caught something interesting.
"Peter Pettigrew was a rat?" I asked he nodded. "Dad what would you do if I told you twelve years ago Percy found a garden rat with a toe missing? Particularly long time for a garden rat to live right?" I questioned. Dads eyes widened and I knew I had hit home ground.
"Rose listen to me get that rat bring him to Dumbledore and have the ministry workers there as well! Please Rose!" He begged. I nodded.
"Time to go!" Said the auror, I nodded hugged dad, and walked out with Dumbledore, telling him my suspicions as we went.
