Black-and-white (Translation)

82. Free at last

Frustrated, Severus turned to Harry.
"Do not you have any peace here?"
The little one sniffed briefly.
"Apparently not. It's Remus and Sirius. "
"That was fast."
"Not really, we spent a total of two hours with Mr. Malfoy. and before that we had something else to do for a while. "
At the last sentence, Harry winked mischievously at his husband.
He pulled him close to him again.
"Then it will get over quickly. I would like to continue the rest of the day where we left off. "
Harry nodded eagerly. He was able to come to terms with the planning.
When Severus opened the door, a big dog stormed past him. Closely followed by Remus, who gave him an apologetic smile.

As soon as the door closed, Sirius morphed back into his own form.
"What took you so long?"
"Hello, that means when you come in where. Lupine should urgently go to dog school with you. "
Harry tried in vain to bite his laugh. Just like Remus. But he noticed something.
"What happened to you? You are full of blood. and you smell of black magic. "
"You can smell that?" Came from the couple.
"Yes, but not you?"
Harry shook his head.
"Never tried it to be honest. Will you teach me? "
Remus stroked the boy's head.
"With pleasure."
"Hey, what is it now? you have not answered Remmys question yet. "
"Rest flea bag. Come in first. I make tea. "

When everyone had made themselves comfortable, the animals had spread to all present, Severus began to explain.
"We had visit. or rather, Dobby has brought us a patient. "
"He must have gotten some of what you look like."
Sirius was right, they really did not look fresh anymore.
Harry grumbled. "Now I have to change again."
severus pulled his husband into his arms and stroked his head.
"Who was the visit?"
Severus was about to answer Remus' question when Harry interrupted him.
"It's our spy at Riddle, and it's better if you do not know who it is."
everyone, even Severus, looked at him big.
Sirius instantly became suspicious.
"Why not. Snape did you forbid him? "
"Do I look like that? I just wanted to tell you the name when Harry interrupted me. Why do not you tell them kittens? "
"Because that would be dangerous for our spy. Imagine, we face each other in combat. What would happen if our people were holding back on a particular person? "
Severus opened a light.
"Riddle would kill him. And not exactly painless. "
The boy nodded.
remus thought for a moment.
"But they all wear masks. We would not see the faces. "
Severus grinned.
"You did not wear any today, did you?"
"Um, right, I'll take the objection back."
Even Sirius could say nothing more. Still, he was curious.
"And why did your husband come, it must be a man, the only women in his ranks were so far in Azkaban, today injured to you? With what did he upset the oh so great Lord? "
Harry hissed and grew whiskers again. His entire coat peeled off. Funnily enough, Yuki followed suit.
Because the boy could not answer, Severus took over again.
"You are right about gender. He did not do anything. Riddle was just angry because the attack went so far today. your cousin got worse, but I have no sympathy for that.
Especially against the grain went to him that Wormtail was there. He had forbidden to show up here. "
Surprisingly, Sirius burst into loud laughter. Harry did not like that.
"What's so fun about Riddle torturing people? Especially those who are on our side? "
"Sorry, that's why I did not laugh. I'm just so happy that Peter did not stick to the ban. "
"I suppose that's why you're here?"
The two nodded to the jailer.

Since Sirius was just too hot, Remus said.
"When I had just told Sirius about the fight there was a knock on our door. It was Luna. She said I should also go to the Ministry and meet her father there. and then Rita Skeeter will say. If two reporters were there, the minister would not be able to get away easily. Especially not with the skeeters. "
Harry had leaned forward curiously. Again Yuki imitated the movement, which made Severus smile.
"And did it work?"
Remus grinned at Harry.
"Yes, puppy, it has. And better than I assumed.
That Xeno would be on fire for Peter's arrest was clear to me. But you should have seen the skeeters. When Fudge finished, he would have been able to hide between the carpet folds in his office, so small was he.
Xeno also said that if Sirius is not considered a free man by tonight at the latest, and receives compensation, he and his colleague would write a salted article.
Believe me, you do not want Skeeter and Xeno to band together. "
Harry shuddered at the thought and Severus caressed his neck reassuringly.
"I do not think Remus meant to do that."
The two dogs shook as well.
"Kitten, you have a worse imagination than me. Cheat, believe me, Xeno has a better taste. "
Remus agreed too.
Severus brought the conversation back to the real topic.
"So is the rag rug free now?"
"The flea carpet is sitting in front of you. Fudge said he would announce it today. Xeno and Skeeter are busy writing their articles.
Tomorrow I will be sitting at the breakfast table in my human form. "
Severus rolled his eyes.
"Then it's just good that tomorrow is Sunday. I would not think about lessons any more. "
Harry chuckled.
"It's amazing how much this year happens."
Severus nodded.
"And that's just the ninth of January."
"Wolf, Harry meant the school year."
"I know, but I wanted to say it anyway. What do you think about how it goes around? "
Sirius nibbled ecstatically on a biscuit. He could hardly wait anymore. There would be so many possibilities for him.
Harry could really see what Sirius thought.
"Siri, please do not go to the Aurors after your acquittal."
The Animagus choked on his biscuit.
"What why not?"
"For many reasons. For one thing, your treatment on Poppy is not finished yet. On the other hand, you still have enemies with the Aurors after all, some of those were already your colleagues back then when you were denied the process. But the most important reason, we need you here at the school. you can certainly teach the students a lot more together with Remmy, and it would be another form of protection.
By the way, do you really want to be separated from Remus and us for days? "
One could see correctly how with each argument the resistance of the man continued to crumble.
severus suppressed a laugh. His husband could sell toothbrushes to birds, and cats to sell bathtubs.
He whispered softly to him.
"Well done."
Harry purred, his hair began to form again, and he snuggled against his husband.
