Harry got home and called out, “Dad!”
Severus voice called out from the library, “I’m in here! You have two legs, walk.”
Harry searched him out and held up the cage. “Have Wormtail. Going to take him to Sirius and go to the Ministry.” He said happily.
Severus hummed, then turned back to his book. “Have fun. I will probably be in the lab when you return.”
“Alright. See you at dinner!” Harry raced off to the Floo and was gone before Severus realised he had never brought his clothes home.
Severus sighed and decided it wasn’t worth the effort of raising a fuss over it.

“Sirius, guess what?” Harry called out upon arriving in the den.
“What?” There was a crash, then Remus' voice snapped, “Sirius! Look what you did!”
“I’m not a dog, don’t talk to me like that!” Sirius replied. “Look.” There was a muttered spell and the sound of pots and pans rearranging. “All fixed.”
Remus sighed and Sirius came into the room. “What's up?” He asked.
Harry held up the cage. “Ready to get your name cleared?” He asked excitedly.
Sirius’ eyes widened. “Yes, I am!” He said happily.
Harry grinned. “Let’s go to the Ministry, then. You were listed as dangerous; I don’t think we'll run into any trouble on our way.” He said.
Sirius turned to Remus and grabbed him around the waist, planting a big kiss on his surprised lips. “After I get my name cleared and make a trip to Gringotts, we're going out to eat. Somewhere really nice.” He turned to Harry. “You're invited, too!” He said.
Harry smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine, I should go home after this. I told Severus I'd be home for dinner already. I’m just here to deliver a rat.” He said. “There’s a spell on the cage keeping him from changing. Let’s keep him in it.” Harry added.
Sirius nodded. “Wonderful. Let's go.”
Remus chuckled. “You two have fun. I’m not going back into the Ministry any time soon.” He said mildly.
Sirius nodded. “Fair enough. I'll send Amelia your regards, shall I?”
Remus smiled at him. “By all means.” He agreed.
Sirius and Harry used the Floo to get to the Ministry, and checked in.
“Harrison Prince and Sirius Black, here to clear Sirius Black’s name.” Harry said cheerfully.
The Welcome Witch eyed Sirius warily. “You are aware he’s a wanted criminal, right?” She asked.
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed, holding up the cage. “You are aware I have Peter Pettigrew right here, right?” He sassed right back at her.
She looked surprised, and checked them in without further comment.
Sirius led the way straight to Amelia Bones' office. “Hey!” He said when she opened the door.
Amelia sighed. “I really don’t want to arrest you again, bu—”
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to!” Sirius took the cage from Harry and handed it over. “We're here to clear my name.”
Amelia took it and looked at the rat. “And what is this?” She asked.
“Peter Pettigrew.” Harry answered. “Secret-Keeper for the Potters.”
Amelia smiled. “Well, that changes things somewhat. Come on in.” She let them into her office.
After closing the door, she opened the cage, dumped out the rat, and cast a spell.
It squeaked, changed, and there was Peter.
Amelia bound him and eyed him. “You're going to Azkaban, Peter. We won’t need a trial for you, since Dumbledore never wanted one for Sirius.”
Sirius looked shocked at that. “Dumbledore was supposed to act as binder, he would have known I was innocent!”
Amelia looked surprised at that. “The Prophet is going to hear that news.” She muttered. “I wonder about that man lately.”
Sirius nodded. “I don’t blame you.” He said.
“Well, you’re free to go, I'll put the news out in tomorrow's paper. Wait until then to go out and celebrate, okay?” She asked.
Sirius pouted. “Yeah, fine.”
“Keep your nose clean. Maybe if you're good we can talk in a few weeks about getting you back on the force.”
Sirius made a face. “Nah. It would feel wrong without James as a partner.” He said.
Amelia shrugged. “Suit yourself. I'll talk with the Goblins tomorrow; we'll see what we can do about your Lordship being restored.” She said.
Sirius grinned. “I'll be waiting to hear from either you or them, then. See you around.”
“See you. Be good, I don’t want to see you being brought in again.” She said sternly.
Sirius grinned. “So long as no one kills Harry, you won’t have to!” He promised.
They left, and Sirius frowned. “Dumbledore.” He growled.
“Yep.” Harry answered.
“Locked me up without a trial.”
“Not surprised.” Harry said.
“I'm going to kill him for that.” Sirius vowed.
“Get in line.” Harry said. “I have prior claim.” He said.
Sirius looked surprised. “What did he do to you?” He asked.
“Killed my grandparents, created a false prophecy to kill my mother and the man he thought was my father, placed me in an abusive home, kept me there after being told about the sex abuse, kept hiring incompetent homicidal maniacs to teach defence—except for Remus, he was good—tried to let Ron off with a warning for trying to kill me—twice—and was reluctant to expel him and Ginny for using the Imperius potion on me.” Harry finished.
Sirius was silent for a long time, then, he finally said, “You can have him.”
“Thanks.” Harry said dryly.
They got back to the Den and Harry left as Sirius went to tell Remus the good news (he was cleared) and the bad news (celebrating would have to wait until tomorrow).
Harry looked around for Severus and found that there was a strange smell coming from the door to the lab downstairs. So he was brewing. Harry went to get Merlin's journal and read some more.
*****
Harry was reading when he heard Lucius' voice coming from the receiving room. He sounded frantic.
“Severus!” The man was shouting, looking into every doorway he passed.
“He’s in his lab.” Harry said. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Draco.” Lucius said. “There’s been an accident.”
Harry paled. “I’ll get him.” He said. He ran to the door to the lab and called out, “Dad, Lucius is here! Something happened to Draco!”
There was a curse, then, “Give me three minutes!”
Lucius came up behind Harry and they both waited.
Severus finally emerged. “What happened?” He asked, wiping his hands on a cloth.
“Draco was brewing—I think it was the Creatura Reveale potion, he is more and more anxious to find out if he is Veela every day—and whatever it was exploded. We got him clean, but he was coated in it, and though the burns have healed, it has been two hours and he hasn’t woken. Nothing is helping him wake.” Lucius explained.
Severus turned to Harry. “Stay here.” He said.
“Like hell!” Harry snapped. “He’s my friend! I’m going, too!”
Severus glared at him. “You are staying. Here.” He said.
Harry glared back.
“I will come over, but if it is what I think it is, you will need to call the Weasley twins and keep them there until he wakes and stabilises.”
“What is it?” Harry asked.
Lucius was obviously wondering the same, but he didn’t voice it.
“I will tell you when I get home if I am right, Harrison. For now, you just worry about yourself. I should be home in forty-five minutes, just in time for dinner.” Severus said.
“Yeah, fine.” Harry said heavily.
“Be good.” Severus left with Lucius and Harry went back to where he’d been, propping his feet up on the couch and settling in to read some more, while using the furniture in a way he knew Severus would disapprove of.
It was the little things that made his day, sometimes.
*****
“How much of his body was covered?” Severus asked, checking Draco’s responses. His pupils were reactive, if a little dilated, and he was otherwise stable, just unconscious. Narcissa was Flooing the twins.
“He was completely covered in the front of his body, and he seemed to have turned and caught all of his left side and some of his back. Most of him was burned, but we used your dittany paste and he healed from that.” Lucius said.
Severus nodded and hummed. “When the twins get here, leave them alone with him for twenty-four hours. There will be… Things going on that you do not want or need to be here for.”
Lucius frowned. “Not under my roof!” He protested.
Severus glared at him. “You idiot, there is no choice! I am telling you as a Healer what needs to happen! He has come into a Veela inheritance. Early. He will need his mates, they will need to seal the bond, and he will be in a pure Veela mindset for twenty hours, since it was potions-induced early onset. There is nothing to be done but let him bond already and make it easier on him.”
The twins rushed in, followed by Narcissa.
“What’s going on?!” Fred asked, while George rushed over and took Draco’s limp hand in his own.
“Draco is coming into an early inheritance.” Severus said. “We hope you are his mates. He should wake in four hours, and you will find out for sure then. I’m heading home. Good luck.” He said to Lucius and Narcissa.
“Thank you, Severus.” Lucius said.
“You are welcome. I will see you in a few days.” Severus said before leaving.
