"You said this rat inside the cage is Peter Pettigrew right?" She asked him seriously and took the cage to look at the rat inside.
She then pointed her wand at him and casted a stunning spell. She then levitated the rat out and cast the animagus reversal spell.
The rat grew and soon became an ugly short man with long front teeth.
"Aurors!" Amelia shouted and soon Mr. Shacklebolt stormed into the office with his wand drawn.
Amelia just pointed at Pettigrew and said "Arrest him and bring him into a temporary ministry cell. Be careful that he doesn't escape, he is a rat animagus".
"Of course" Auror Shacklebolt said and searched the body of Pettigrew for any wands or other weapons.
He soon found two wands, one very ordinary looking the other bone white.
"This is the wand of Voldemort" he said horrified "I know it, during the war I saw people die at his hands like flys...with this wand"
Orion turned to Amelia "that should also serve as more proof to my version of the events"
"Excuse me? Could someone tell me what's going on?" Shacklebolt asked completly clueless.
"It seems like we imprisoned an innocent man in Azkaban for more than ten years" she said still staring at the wand in front of her with horror.
"Who?" Shacklebolt asked.
"Sirius Black" she just answered "get him transfered into a ministry cell and set up a trial for him and Mr. Pettigrew here"
"This is Peter Pettigrew? Wasn't he declared dead?" Shacklebolt turned to look at Pettigrew.
"Well it seems like he is very much alive" Mrs. Bones said "now hurry and lock him up".
"Yes Mam!" he said and put magical handcuffs on Pettigrew that restrict all use of magic.
He then escorted Pettigrew of the room and left the two of them alone.
"It seems like you just gave me a ton of work" Amelia sighed "you will be notified and asked to give testimony as a witness at the trials".
"Thank you madam Bones" Orion said "I have the feeling we'll see each other often in the future".
"I hope not" she just said "now out of my office or I'll drown in my work here"
"Goodbye Mrs. Bones and thank you for listening" Orion said and walked out of the office.
"Good, now let's go back home and test out that stone" Orion said and stepped inside the apparition area.
"Deek, bring me back home" he said and was apparated away.
With a quiet pop sound he reappeared inside his working room.
"Anything else Master?" Deek just asked.
"Not for now, you can go" Orion said and Deek popped away.
With everything settled so far he finally had time to check the legendary philosopher's stone.
He picked up the red stone and touched a block of ordinary iron with it.
The block of iron slowly turned golden. It was without a doubt permanent transfiguration.
'Alright at least it's the real stone, now how do I get the elixir of life?' Orion pondered. An Idea shot through his head and he immediately tried it.
Slowly he began pouring mana into the stone which slowly started to get wet.
A transparent red liquid started to drop down and Orion collected every last drop inside a vial.
"Oooooh the things I could do...." he just murmured "but the energy is lacking...it seems to be missing something...something ancient"
Orion took the stone and concentrated. He focused on his magical core and channeled the rampant energy of ancient magic. But he couldn't move it no matter how much he tried.
"It seems like I need to wait until I am 15 and wait for my ancient magic to fully awaken" Orion sighed"what a hassle...will I also get some more benefits from the bloodline ritual? After all the Grimoires say that the so called 'gifts' will get stronger when someone unlocks their ancient magic...well whatever I'll see what comes. Now fof the stone...".
After carefully checking the stone for any tracking charms and putting it inside a box covered in cursed runes to prevent scrying. After all Nicolas Flamel was also well versed in Divination so he had to be extra careful.
In a few weeks or months Nicolas Flamel will be dead anyways but until then he needed to be careful to not be found by Nicolas Flammel or Dumbledore.
'Let's just store it for now, it might come in handy later with experiments or other potions' Orion thought.
Just then an Owl flew through the opened window and threw two letters on the floor. The owl didn't seem to expect a reply and flew out of the window after finishing the delivery.
He picked up the letters from the ground and turned them around to see the sender.
Both letters were sealed by a blue wax seal with two big capital M's on it. The wax seal of the ministry of magic.
After opening one of them he read out the content of the first letter.
Dear Mister Orion LeFay Pendragon,
You have greatly contributed to the betterment of the magical world and saved countless lives with your revolutionary achivements and inventions in potions.
To reward you for your diligent hard work and talent the ministry of magic has decided to award you with the order of merlin second class. The award ceremony will be held on the 1st September after the start of term feast at Hogwarts.

Moving on he opened the second letter and read it.
Mister Orion LeFay Pendragon,
you are summoned to act as a witness for the trial of Sirius Black. Your attendance is voluntarily but strongly recomended. The trial will take place on the 1st August 1992 in courtroom number one. The trial will start at 10am.
Please bring this letter with you to confirm your status as a witness to this trial else the aurors will stop you from entering. The magical law enforcement would also like to thank you once again for bringing this case to our attention.
With best regards
Amelia Bones, Head of magical law enforcement
'Seems like I will need to head to the ministry in two days and with Sirius help I can finally collect some Horcruxes...' Orion thought.
Sirius Black as the Lord of house Black will be able to enter the vault of the Lestranges since they are a vassal family and he would just need to order Kreacher to hand over the amulet.
He was brought out of his thoughts when his brother came storming inside his workshop with the small dragon in his arms.
"Little brother look, she can already spew flames!!!" Mordred said excitedly and placed the little dragon on a nearby table.
He then did a comical gesture with his finger pointing forward and said loudly "Fire!"
The dragon opened it's maw and spewed a quite impressive blue flame.
A very hot heatwave assaulted them burning nearby research papers without even touching the beatiful blue flames.
Orion was so fascinated at the result of his little breeding experiment that he wasn't even mad about all the reseach papers that went up in flames.
"I'm kind of envious" Orion said.
"Don't be, I am sure we can steal one again from somewhere else right?" Mordred just said and grinned arrogantly "but it's cool right?"
"Yeah, very cool" Orion admitted and also smiled.
