Author's Note: Sorry this chapter took me so long in posting. I had lost my muse to this story soon after I posted Chapter Four and I have just got it back. The next update will probably be not as long as this one was but I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. Okay? Please read and review this chapter as they fuel my muse's inspirations.

Chapter Five.

Judge Rainwater and Fudge walked towards the desk leading to the file room to show to him that there was no file of Sirius Black�s conviction and then he would take Fudge to the evidence room to see Mr. Black�s wand as the wizard stood up and blocked their path. �Please sign in first gentlemen and get the visitor pass. Whatever you take from the room must be signed out before leaving the room itself.�

Fudge fumed at being asked to sign in. �Do you know who I am?�

�I don�t care if you are the Minister of Magic himself, everyone signs in before they enter the room. Ministry�s rules,� The wizard stated.

�Fudge, just sign in and let us be on our way to see if we should reopen that case.� Judge Rainwater stated in a low whisper.

�Oh all right,� Fudge moaned as he signed his name and took the visitor badge from the guard�s hand and placed it on his coat.

Fudge and Rainwater went to the file that was for the November 1981 convictions. They pulled the file and started to look at the entire file dealing with the Black case to find nothing within the file itself. There was no file on Sirius Black at all.

Fudge whispered to himself mainly. �We must forge a file to make it legit. The press will go crazy knowing that we didn�t convict him legally. Harry will cause this to go public if he doesn�t know the truth about it.�

Rainwater grew angry that Fudge was going to try to forge a file to make the Black case appear to be legit. He grabbed him by the shirt and growled, �Forgery is against the law here in the Ministry, Minister! You want to put an innocent man away for a crime he may not have committed!�

�He admitted to it. He told the Aurors that he did it.� Fudge said.

�Then, why do I have the feeling that you are lying to me about that?� asked Judge Rainwater.

�I�m not lying to you about it!� Fudge replied.

�Then, if there was a confession? Where in Merlin�s name is it?� Fudge fumbled around mumbling something about it being lost. �So in truth, there was no confession and no conviction of this man.�

All Fudge could do was nod his head.

Judge Rainwater shook his head. �Then, we need to look at his wand and get the final proof of his innocence if that is possible.�

He and Fudge went to the clerk and asked him to open the evidence room where all the items from all the cases were placed along with wands from convicted murderers waiting to be destroyed.

They found Sirius�s wand in the B section of the evidence room and with a cautious word of the spell to show the last spell used, proved to be the spell to unlock a door.

Judge Rainwater turned to look at Fudge, �That was no spell to blow up a street, unless Alohamora is that type of spell which it is not.�

�Well there was a gas pipe below that street.� Fudge said.

�But there was no gas pipe that had a device to turn it on either.� Judge Rainwater stated. �Do you have the wand of the one he was accused of murdering?�

�Yes, Peter Pettigrew�s wand was given back to his mother but she couldn�t keep it so she sent it to us. It is in this box with Sirius�s wand.� Fudge reached into the box and pulled out another box which held the name Peter Pettigrew on it. He pulled it out and spoke the incantation to reveal the spell that the user had cast last. It was a spell to make something explode.

Both Fudge and Rainwater looked at each other shocked.

Rainwater was the first to get his voice back. �Pettigrew blew up the street, killing those muggles and put the blame on Sirius. Sirius Black is innocent of that crime!�

�But how in the world will we amend this mistake? How can we state to the world of Wizards and Witches that we, at the Ministry screwed up?� Fudge admitted.

�It means asking Mr. Harry Potter if he knows the whereabouts of Mr. Sirius Black and that we want to give him back what we took from him � his freedom and his innocence back.� Judge Rainwater said, looking at him.

�But what if he refuses to reveal where he is? Then, what?� asked Fudge.

�Then, we do what we must by telling the world that you went into the evidence room where the wands of both Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew were kept at, and on a hunch you asked both wands to show what happened that fateful day in 1981 and found that you had convicted the wrong man of the crime that it was not Sirius Black who slew those muggles or blew up the street, but the believed deceased Peter Pettigrew is the true murderer of the crime that he put blame onto Sirius Black. That the Ministry is now looking for Peter Pettigrew for the crimes of murder and the immediate release of Sirius Black from any connection to the crime that happened that day and that he is hereby released from jail.� Judge Rainwater stated.

�Yes, yes, I must write out what I am going to say. I must right this wrong done to Mr. Sirius Black right away.� Fudge replied, as they walked out of the evidence room carrying Sirius Black�s wand with them.

�Uh, Minister? That wand is evidence. It must remain here.� Spoke the clerk, seeing the wand in his hand.

�This wand belongs to an innocent Wizard and I am intent on returning it to him.� Fudge stated.

�And who happens to be this innocent Wizard?� asked the clerk.

�A Mr. Sirius Black.� Fudge stated. Without another word, he walked away from the evidence room and headed directly to his office. �Hold all callers. I have a very important speech to write and I want no visitors. Even those Malfoys can wait. Get a hold of Witch TV; I want their camera man here in two hours. Also contact the Daily Prophet and tell them to get a reporter here, a good one!� He promptly walked into his office and sat down at his desk, where he proceeded to write out his speech that he was going to do over Witch TV and over the Wizards� newspaper in little less than two hours from now.

Fudge sent one of his own personal Owls to Harry Potter, care of Remus Lupin, informing him that he should find a TV set in another two hours as he will be on the set speaking about something very important to him. He wondered how the young Wizard would react to the news about his Godfather being freed from being accused of murder that he never committed.

~~~~~~~~

Two hours later, his secretary knocked on his door and spoke, �Minister, the people you asked me to gather for you is waiting outside. Shall I let them come in?�

�Yes, I have finished my speech.� Fudge replied. He looked himself in the mirror and straightened his tie up. He looked at his speech that he was going to say and put on a face that would hopefully convey his convictions over what he had just found out over three hours ago. �Thank you gentlemen, for coming so soon, this is very important that I get this speech that I am about to say out to everyone. This deals with Harry Potter�s family . . . more like his Godfather.�

The men nodded as they set up the camera and the reporter took his seat next to the camera so Mr. Fudge would be fully visible to the camera.

The reporter from the Daily Prophet said. �You can start at any time, Mr. Fudge, sir.�

�Thank you for coming. My fellow Wizards and Witches, I have just spent the last three hours in the Ministry�s evidence room looking at the evidence dealing with a murder of a Wizard and some muggles that happened in 1981, that dealt with two Wizards Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. The Wizard that was convicted of the crime has been proven innocent of all crimes that we had accused him of doing. We are hereby releasing Mr. Sirius Black from Azkaban and all charges against him dropped. We have now issued a Warrant for the arrest of one Peter Pettigrew, for the crimes of murder and destruction of property. Please do not try to apprehend Mr. Pettigrew as he is most likely armed and dangerous. Thank you for your time.� Mr. Fudge said.

~~~~~~~

In Hogsmeade, Remus and Harry sat there stunned as they looked at the television screen. They had heard what Mr. Fudge had said but they couldn�t believe their ears. Did Mr. Fudge just free Sirius Black from prison and the crimes he was accused of doing all those years ago?
