A couple of months later it was coming to the end of the year. As I was sitting in the dorm looking at the map I noticed Sirius Black was dragging the Weasel and Pettigrew. It looked like Granger was fighting off the Whomping Willow. I grabbed the map and ran to Lupin. When I reached his office I ran in, "Professor Lupin! Sirius Black is in the Shrieking Shack along with Weasley and Pettigrew!". Lupin immediately got up and pretty much ran to the Willow. When Lupin was gone I ran to Sev's classroom to get him as well. As I ran in Sev looked up, "Sev! Sirius, Lupin and Pettigrew are in the Shrieking Shack along with the Weasel and Granger.". Sev got up and we ran to the tree.

After stunning the willow we ran in. I got to the door first. Sev came up behind me, "Shhhhh!" I whispered. "Come out, come out Peter. Come out, come out and play..." Sirius said. At that Sev rushed in, "Expelliarmus! Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you.". Lupin began, "Severus--". "I told Dumbledore you were helping your old friend into the castle. And here's the proof." Sev started again. Sirius began to speak, "Brilliant! And -- as usual -- dead wrong. Now give us our wands back. Remus and I have a bit of unfinished business to tend to.".

I came out from around the corner, "Sevvy, you know he's innocent stop messing with my godfather." I said coming up behind Sev, putting my arms around his waist. Sev turned to me and sighed, "Fine," he turned back to Sirius, "Show me Pettigrew, Black.". Lupin gave Sirius his wand before they turned to Weasel and his rat. Sirius walked up and grabbed the rat before putting it on the floor. The rat began running away so Sev and I blocked the door.

Finally, Sirius hit the rat and it turned into Peter Pettigrew. "Sirius. Remus. My old friends" He said before running at the door which Sev and I were still blocking. "Harry, you look so much like your father." He stated, looking at me. I squealed and hid behind Sev. Sirius and Remus grabbed him by his shoulders and pulled him back. He hid behind the piano. "You sold Lily and James to You-Know-Who didn't you!" Sirius exclaims. Peter cowers back, "You don't know the power he possesses. But, look at you Sirius, what would you have done?". Sirius lunges forward, "I would have died! I would have died instead of betrayed my friends.".

A few minutes later, we are walking out of the Shack. I was walking next to Sev. My arms were wrapped around his waist and his around mine. Sirius and Granger were carrying the Weasel, and Lupin was walking ahead of us with Pettigrew. When we got out and Sev pushed me towards Sirius. I walked up behind him. He was looking at the school, "It would great to walk in there as a free man again." He said before turning to me. I thought for a second before turning to him, "On my birth certificate it said you were innocent. We could show it to the minister over summer.". As I turned around I heard Sev yell, "Harry!". I turned to see where Sev was pointing... The Moon! I ran up to Sev and hid behind him. I saw Lupin turn into his werewolf form. He started whimpering. I walked around Sev but stayed close.

As I walked up so did Sirius. I went closer to Lupin and looked him in the eye. He looked at me before stepping forward and licking my head. I smiled and started petting him and Sirius came up. "Hey, calm love." He whispered as Lupin began whimpering again. I turned to Sev, "Sevvy, I'll be fine. Take the weasel and Granger inside. I'll be there soon I promise.". He nodded before slowly walking up and kissing my head before escorting them inside.
