Chapter 14
“Drac,
we should go try to ride it.” Harry said excitedly.
Draco
rolled his eyes, “It’s after curfew.” He complained.
“So? When has that ever stopped us? I want to go ride it. Come on Draco.” Harry whined causing Draco to
roll his eyes.
“Alright,
alright, let’s go.” Draco said with a sigh, pulling out Harry’s invisibility
cloak.
Together
the two of them slipped out, making their way to where the Hippogriff was being
kept. When they arrived and went to bow
to the majestic creature it wasn’t paying attention. Instead it was looking at something over by a
large tree. Their gaze immediately
traveled towards it. The silhouette of a
large dog dragging what appeared to be a boy under the tree. Quickly they made their way towards the
struggling boy. By the time they arrived
he had disappeared beneath the tree.
“Where
did they go?” Harry asked, looking around.
Draco
pointed to a hole beneath the tree, “Come on.” He said, pulling him into the
hole.
It
was a tunnel. The two of them quickly
made their way thought the long tunnel, “Where are we?” Harry hissed as they
come out.
“I
think we’re right outside of Hogsmeade, in the Shrieking Shack.” Draco replied
softly.
Harry
scowled, wand at the ready. Carefully he
walked forward, making his way towards a voice.
It was ranting angrily, “It’s your entire fault.” He raved, sounding
quite mad, “If it wasn’t for you I would have never gone to Azkaban.”
Harry
and Draco’s eyes grew wide, it was Sirius Black. Quietly the two of them snuck closer, wanting
to see who was there. The first person
they saw was Black, holding a large rat by the tail. The second one they saw was Weasley, cowering
in a corner, his leg was bleeding. As
the two boys moved a little closer Black whirled, looking directly at
them. His eyes softened a bit at seeing
Harry but he didn’t relinquish his hold on the rat.
“Harry.”
He said softly, looking at him a little sadly.
“What
do you want Black? Why have you come?”
He asked, looking at him intently.
“To get my revenge!
It’s because of this rat that my life was taken from me!” He waved his
arms, the rat squeaking as it was swung around, “It’s because of this rat that
your parents are dead!”
Harry
scowled, “Oh and why is that?”
“He
was your parents Secret Keeper! He was
the one that betrayed them to You-Know-Who!” He said, swinging the rat around
again, “He was the one that killed all those people and made it look like I had
killed them and himself!”
“I
think you’ve gone a bit daft.” Draco said, watching him swing the rat around.
“What
are you doing with a Malfoy, Harry? What
are you doing with him?”
Harry
narrowed hid eyes, “He’s my friend and I’ll thank you not to talk bad about
him. Now why do you have that rat? How is it responsible?”
“Pettigrew! Show
yourself!” Black said, putting the rat down and pointing a wand at it.
Immediately
the rat changed form into a human, a rat like human no less. Weasley looked surprised and whimpered
softly. The newly revealed man
immediately went to Harry, dropping to his knees.
“You
wouldn’t let him kill me. I-I knew your
parents.”
Harry’s
eyes narrowed as the man begged, “What makes you think that I’m going to stop
anyone from getting their revenge. I
think though, before I allow that, I’m going to take you in, prove Black’s
innocence.” He sneered; using one of the spells Lucius had taught him to bind the
man, “Let’s go.” He said, taking him out of the shack at wandpoint.
Draco
smiled and went with him, making sure Black came as well. They made their way in silence back to the
castle. It didn’t take long for them to
arrive. Carefully, quietly, they made
their way to Dumbledore’s office. As
soon as they arrived Dumbledore came striding down the hall towards them.
“Mr.
Potter, Mr. Malfoy…” He started then looked at the others with them. Black was carrying Weasley because of the
wound in his leg, “What is going on here?” He asked, looking at the motley
crew.
Black
was about to speak when Harry held up a hand, “Draco and I were out for a walk
when we saw something going on.” He began, “We went to investigate and
discovered Mr. Black, Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Pettigrew. Apparently, Mr. Pettigrew is an Animagus and
it was he who was responsible for the deaths that Mr. Black is accused of.”
Dumbledore
blinked then smiled, his eyes twinkling, “Let’s get this taken care of then, we
can’t have an innocent man in prison.”
Harry
smiled slightly, pushing Pettigrew towards Dumbledore, “He cannot transform
right now so he cannot escape. Should
anything prevent Mr. Black’s absolution in this crime I will not be pleased.”
Draco
looked over at Harry, he was speaking like an adult, remaining calm, it looked like Lucius’ lessons had done him some good. Dumbledore looked a little shocked at his
demeanor as well. It wasn’t long before
they had a confession from Pettigrew and Black was free. The gaunt, ebony haired man looked relieved,
his eyes appeared perfectly sane, now all that was
left was to get him back into good health.
They had a late supper in Dumbledore’s office after Black was cleared.
“Harry,
would…would you like to come live with me?
I-I can understand if you’d like to stay with your Aunt and Uncle.”
Black said as they ate.
Harry
took a bite of food before speaking, “I haven’t been staying with them since
I’ve started school, I’ve been staying with the
Malfoys. I’m sure that you could come stay as well until you’re better.” He said with a
smile.
Draco
smiled as well, “It would be a great pleasure to have you come
stay with us.” He was taking his father’s lessons to heart as well.
Black
looked a little nervous at the thought of seeing one of his relatives and
Lucius didn’t appeal to him much. He
smiled a bit, “Alright. I think I would
like that.” At those words the twinkle momentarily left Dumbledore’s eyes, he
was worried about what would happen, worried about what was already happening
to Harry.
It
was obvious the he didn’t want Harry to find out the truth about his
lineage. He knew that Sirius and Lucius
knew the truth and that eventually one of them might tell him. Of course he didn’t know that Lucius already
had. He had hoped that Harry would stay
with Sirius, that perhaps he could draw Harry away from the ideas that he was
sure Lucius had implanted in him. It had
been obvious since the beginning that Harry had begun to follow the pureblooded
views on Muggle-borns. It worried him; the ‘light’ side needed Harry
if Voldemort ever came back.
After
they had finished eating Draco and Harry returned to their room and Sirius was
given a room to stay in until the end of the school year, which wasn’t far off. The last few weeks of school passed quickly. Draco had sent a letter to his father, asking
about Sirius and he had agreed to let him stay.
