Chapter 31 - 30

Iris pov

Shadow and Uncle Remus carry Pettigrew under his arms, while Harmonie had her wond pointed at him. I walked behind Uncle Sirius and Harry who were helping Ron. It is almost over Uncle Sirius can be proven innocent.

"Sorry about the bite. I reckon that twinges a bit." Uncle Sirius said trying to make light of the situation. "A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!" Ron complained he had a right to I guess. "I was going for the rat. Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. More than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas, they're murder." I chuckle "yes Grim you are a sweet boy." Harry looked back at me. "He was the dog you found?" I nod giving him a wink. " Okay." Uncle Sirius said setting Ron down. "You better go." Ron said to Harry as Sirius walked away looking at the school. "No. Don't worry, okay?" Ron said "It's fine. I'll stay." Harry tried "You go, I'll stay." Harmonie said- You okay? - I'm fine. Go. - That looks really painful. - So painful. They might chop it. I'm sure Madam Pomfrey will fix it in a heartbeat. It's too late. It's ruined. It'll have to be chopped off. It was cute watching the exchange between the two.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it again as a free man. That was a noble thing you did back there. He doesn't deserve it." Sirius said  looking down at me. "I didn't think my dad would have wanted his best friends... ...to become killers. Besides, dead, the truth dies with him. Alive, you're free." I said before I heard Pettigrew. I saw Iris and she looked  ready to call a dementor. "Turn me into a flobberworm. Anything but the dementors! Ron! Haven't I been a good pet? You won't let them give me... ...to the dementors, will you? I was your rat! - Sweet, clever girl! Surely you won't... " He said before Shadow and Iris pulled him away. "Get away from her!" They yelled. "I don't know if you know, Harry... ...but when you were born, James and Lily made me your godfather."Sirius said turning back to me. "I know." I said with a grin. "I can understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle... ...but if you ever wanted a different home..." My eyes widened hearing him.

"What? Come and live with you?" I asked making sure I heard him right. "It's just a thought. I can understand if you don't want to." I was about to say yes to the offer when Harmonie called to me. She was alarmed turning to face her I saw it. Oh no of all the times it had to be now. Sirius rushed to professor Lupin.

"Remus, my old friend. Have you taken your potion tonight? You know the man you truly are, Remus! This heart is where you truly live! Here! This flesh is only flesh!" Sirius knowing he couldn't stop the change. He wanted Remus to know he was still there. In the commotion Pettigrew took advantage of the opportunity. "Expelliarmus!" I tried but it was to late. Professor Lupin changed into a wolf.  Harmonie took a step to professor Lupin. "Hermione! Bad idea. Bad idea." Ron said  "Professor? Professor Lupin?" Thats when shit his the fan.

" Nice doggy. Nice doggy!" Ron was yelling. "There you are, Iris!" Snape yelled grabbing her. She for the first time looked so scared. "Sirius!" I yelled running after the two dogs. "Come back here, Potter!" I heard professor Snape but I was more focused on helping my uncles. I foun him on the bank of the lake. Then the ground became cold. "Sirius! No. Sirius! Expecto Patronum!" I tried to battle off the dementors but was unable. Soon I woke in the hospital wing.

"Harry?" Harmonie said jaring me awake. "I saw my dad." I said grabbing her arm. "What?" She asked confused. "He sent the dementors away.

I saw him across the lake." I said with hope my father was still alive.

"Harry, they've captured Sirius. They are Interrogated on the events of this evening." Oh good he will be free in no time. Iris will convince them I know it. "Any minute the dementors are gonna perform the Kiss." She said but how Iris is going to con Vince them. "They're gonna kill him?"  I asked "No. It's worse. Much worse. They're going to suck out his soul." I got up from bed. "Headmaster, stop them. They've got the wrong man." I said and Dumbledore just looked confused. "It's true. Sirius is innocent.  It's Scabbers who did it." Ron pipes in.  "Scabbers?" Dumbledore asked confused. "He's my rat, sir. He's not really a rat. He was a rat. He was my brother Percy's rat. - But then they gave him an owl..." Ron yammering on was waisting time.

"The point is, we know the truth.  Please believe us." Harmonie said trying to convince him to do something. " I do, Miss Granger. But the word of four thirteen year-old wizards will convince few others. Your sister is doing her best to convince them Harry. A child's voice, however honest and true... ...is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen." Dumbledore said before looking at a clock. "Mysterious thing, time. Powerful... ...and when meddled with, dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the Dark Tower. You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen. And you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight... ...more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns should do it, I think. Oh, and by the way. When in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck. " What in Godric's name is he on about.

I sat in a old class room chained to a chair. Two young male Ministry officials are bonbarding me with questions. "I already told you uncle Sirius is innocent. Pettigrew the bloody coward is alive." I said glaring at them I look up to see my Father tap his nose. I sigh before sitting upright. "You know what there is a way to tell if I'm being honest." I said eyeing the two. "Oh yeah love and what way is that." The dark haired, blue eyed, cream skin one asked looking me up an down like a meat.  Sorry bastard I'm not getting your dick wet today.  "My father makes a very special truth serum. If you lie when you take it will burn you from the inside and will kill you." I said making them gasp.

My father placed a small black bottle infront of me. "Surly you wouldn't risk your life Iris. Please don't be a fool you obviously are under the effects of a memory charm. " I laughed at that. "The truth is she already took it. In all honesty it was not my proudest moment as a father." He said placing a hand on ny shoulder. "She is telling the truth." The minister said looking ashamed.

"But I am afraid that I ordered Sirius black to be put to death." He said before leaving the room. "YOU FUCKING COWARD COME BACK AND FACE ME! YOU LYING CHEAT OF A MAN! I HOPE WHEN IT IS YOUR TIME DEATH SHOWS NO MERCY! I HOPE IT IS SLOW AND PAINFUL!" I scream before falling to my knees crying. My father held me in his arms. "It's alright let it out it won't do you any good holding onto that kind of anger." He said holding me tight.

I know he is speaking from experience and I unfortunately am to much like him. An alarm started to blair making us jump. "He has escaped Sirius Black has escaped!" So of the gaurds yell running around. Hope filled me having a feeling Harmonie and her time turner had something to do with this. I own her a great deal then.
