It has been about a month since I met my god brothers. The shows have been going well in the circus. Today is the day of Siri's trial. I put on my best robes and collect the snakes that wish to come.

Only two of them decided to come with me, Yumi and Perry. I make sure that I have all my rings on me before heading to the ministry for the trial.

I sit in my seat and wait for the trial. Soon it begins.

"It was brought to our attention that one Sirius black was never given a trial. So that is what we will be doing today." The court fills with yelling.

"Quiet!" The court quiets down abruptly. "Now bring out the prisoner."

A man with shaggy brown hair and large bags under his eyes is brought into the room in cuffs. "Give him the Veritaserum."

Someone gives the man a potion. His eyes go foggy and the judge starts the questions. "Is your name Sirius Orion black?"

"Yes."

"Are you the godfather of Harry James Potter?"

"Yes."

"The potion is working. Were you the potter's secret keeper?"

"No it was Peter. We decided that I would be too obvious so we decided that he should be it instead." Gasps filled the room.

"Do you work for Voldemort?"

"No and I never have."

"Lastly did you you kill peter and the muggles?"

"I did not get the joy of killing that rat and I would never kill muggles."

"Administer the antidote."

Another potion is poured down his throat and his eyes clear.

"All who agree that Sirius black is not guilty." Most people said he was not guilty. A man in questionable robes and a pink toad are to only ones that did not.

"Not guilty. Free to go. Gallons of compensation and free mental health care. Dismissed."

Everyone is starts to leave and Sirius is escorted to the hospital to be treated. I head back to the circus to get ready for our last show in Britain for many years. I don my dragon scale suit and grab all of my snakes.

After the show a fan approaches me. I see a small king snake in his hands. "I found this snake in my yard with no others. I heard that you could talk to snakes so I figured you would be able to take care of him if he needs it. I named him snakespear."

"I will treat him well." I tell him before taking the tiny snake from her. I check him over and see he has a large bruise on his stomach.

I switch to parasal tongue and talk to the snake. "Are you okay little one what happened?"

"How can you speak to me?"

"I have a very special ability."

"Wow."

"Now what happened and are you okay?" I say with a harder tone.

"My owner left me in a field. Some human kicked me and now my tummy hurts."

"I'm sorry. Do you want to stay with me? I have several other snakes."

"Yes I would love to stay with you and other snakes."

"Well than welcome to the family snakespear." I turn back to the girl who is looking at me in awe. "He said he would like to stay with me. Thank you for bringing him to me and making sure he was safe."

"No problem I have always liked snakes but my mom won't let me keep one. I got to go my mom is calling me." She says before she runs off towards a woman's voice. I take my new snake and head to bed.
