The Twins Who Lived

Free Sirius

"DAHLIA!" She winced, hearing the worry, Sirius looked confused, While Severus and a now dressed Remus, both had a knowing look. "Love... Well..." She barely got that out before he  wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. "I'm ok, I promise" she whispered, "yea right, you have scratches all over you" Blaise said looking her over, his eyes turning on the other three, his eyes narrowed "in our defense, she ran into the whomping willow before we could stop her" Neville said quickly. "Sirius Black you are under-"  Amelia began walking towards them with a group of aurors, Four dementors following behind. At the sight of the dementors, Dahlia and Blaise released their fox Patronus's Tod and Vixey, Harry released His Stag, Bambi, Hermione released her Otter, Opal, Ron released his Jack Russell Terrier, Chester and Neville released his yet to be named Lion.

"wait if Ron and Hermione are supposed to end up together, why doesn't their Patroni match" Narcissa asked, curious. "Because the two resident delusions were not yet ready for that, nor were they ready for a relationship, after the... I mean after 7th year, you'll see them change to match" Dahlia explained.

"Not so Fast Madam Bones, Sirius Orion Black is under the sworn protection of House Potter and House Black. He has asked for asylum and has been granted it, under Act 50 of our House laws" Harry said, stopping Bones from arresting him, their Patroni keeping the dementors away,seeing so many Patroni, from children,no less definitely sent a shock through the adults systems. "Right, My client has the right to a trial seeing as he was never given one back then, in that standard, he isn't a wanted criminal. Nor an escapee. We will gladly follow you to the ministry, but any attempt to arrest or pursaude him to give up his current immunity will be met with the full weight of the Potter, Black and Zabini households" Heath said, taking a stance next to them, purposely putting himself between the two groups. She shot a glare at Sirius, knowing he was about to protest being represented by a Slytherin, Sirius quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to upset her again, he had no need to see Lily's temper again anytime soon.

"You would have given up, a fair solicitor simply because he was Slytherin" Dorea said, turning to her son in all but blood, her voice eerily calm, Sirius gulped, that tone scared him far more than his actual parents ever could. "Well... I... No ma'am" he settled on, knowing no excuse would spare him from getting in trouble.

Amelia's face took on a more pinched look before nodding "very well, then would you all follow me. We'll have this settled shortly. Shacklebolt, call ahead. Summon an emergency meeting" Amelia said with a resigned sigh. "We'll be coming along, as temporary guardians of the children and chaperones" Severus said, Amelia nodded, creating a portkey that allowed all of them to appear in the Atrium. Dahlia smiled, squeezing Hermione's hand briefly, grounding her as hermione took in the sight of the ministry, she could tell her sister in all but blood was full of questions, yet she knew now was not the time. They headed to the lifts, taking them straight down to level 7 where they entered Courtroom ten, "what is the meeting of this emergency session Amelia. I thought I was quite clear about my kill on sight order" Fudge said, his face turning red "yes minister, however they say he is innocent and-" "ah, the children have obviously been Delusioned into believing as such" Fudge said dismissively. "Quite the Contrary Minister, Given the fact we have all been learning occulemency training, not to mention I called for a solicitor prior to finding mr.black. further more, regardless of this, Sirius is under House Immunity Protection by Houses Potter, Black and Zabini. Now if you wish to disregard that law, you'll be publically stating that you do not care for the sacred laws, all Houses have, nor do you care for what our houses stand for" Dahlia said pointedly, her eyes narrowing on the minister, refusing to back down.

"Damn our daughter is badass" James smirked, "she doesn't take shit from nobody" Regulus added with a proud smile. "It makes sense" Pomfrey said, everyone turned to the nurse, "what does poppy?" Harry asked, confused. "Abused children can grow and form four different ways, the third and fourth are irreverent as neither of you show those signs. One way, is Like Harry, Despite the abuse, he longs and latches onto the first family member who treats him right, despite everything he still longs for a loving family even though he has been hurt. While Dahlia on the other hand, fits the secondary category, her time with them showed her that family is not everything nor does that make an adult automatically right, which is why she isn't afraid to challenge Authority when she believes it is being unfair. She grew up with the mentality that she cannot trust adults and can only rely on herself or those who have her trust, while Harry grew with the mentality that if he is good enough, he would be worthy of a family, of love, which tends to lead to him bottling his emotions and taking things on alone" Pomfrey explained, Dahlia and Harry were quiet, glancing at each other before looking back down at their laps, suddenly finding their clothes very interesting, the parents hearts broke for their children.

Fudge's face turned bright red before forcefully calming himself down, "very well. I assume he has agreed to vertiserum" fudge said tightly, "My client has minister, as such, to ensure a fair trial, we request the Questioning be done by madam bones" Heath said, fudge nodded. Sirius swallowed the offered drops

Amelia: What is your name?
Sirius: Sirius Orion Black-Lupin
Amelia: your Hogwarts house?
Sirius: Gryffindor
Amelia: when is your birthday?
Sirius: November 3, 1959
Amelia: the potion is in effect. Were you the Potter's secret Keeper?
Sirius: No, James had asked me to be but I suggested our friend Peter Pettigrew
Amelia: did you cause the attack on the Potter's?
Sirius: No, I went to their house to see the twins, it had been a week since I last saw them. When I arrived... The door was blasted in... I... I saw James first, sprawled out by the steps, un breathing. I nearly broke down... Seeing my brother dead, but then I heard crying, I rush upstairs, seeing lily dead by the crib, I immediately picked up the twins and got them out.
Amelia: did you kill Peter Pettigrew?
Sirius: no, I wanted to but I knew James wouldn't have wanted that, I gave the twins to hagrid... So that Dumbledore could check them over and I ran after Peter. He was yelling, saying how I betrayed them... That it was my fault. He blew up the gas line, cut off his finger and changed into animagus form before running through the sewers.

Silence filled the court room, before chaos ensued, everyone talking over each other. Dahlia's eyes were narrowed onto him, harry nudged her "why are you giving him that look" harry asked, his brows furrowed. "We should have been with him, he found us. He chose revenge over our safety and care" she said, harry frowned "He was Grieving Dahlia, I know your not so heartless to believe he did that on purpose" harry snapped, her eyes flew to him, in shock and betrayed but he had already turned away, moving to stand by Remus instead.
