Goodbye Alice in Wonderland

Chapter VI

"How?" Harry asked, puzzled. After all they had to free Sirius without giving Wormtail away.

"It's actually very simple and something that you should've figured out, being Head of Auror and all." Lucius sounded very smug. "Sirius Black was put into Azkaban without trial and he stayed there for years."

Harry gasped in realization. "I can't believe I never thought about this before!" he muttered in disbelief. "It's so easy."

It was all written into the criminal law. The Aurors couldn't put someone into prison for more than a three months period. If they did, then the person was to be freed immediately. In Sirius' case, everyone was convinced that his godfather was guilty that they never bothered to give him a trial.

"I shall bring the matter to the ministry." Lucius told him.

He frowned. "Won't people get suspicious about that?" He asked. "Not that they aren't suspicious already."

"Your faith astounds me, really." Lucius drawled. "However, in the public I'm going to say that the injustice against one of my relatives in unacceptable. While in private, everyone would see that as my attempt to gain the Black's fortune. Sirius Black is undoubtedly insane after spending twelve years in Azkaban and we can't have a halfblood as the sole heir of one of the oldest and richest pureblood families, can't we? Not to mention the said halblood is also the Dark Lord's enemy."

"Never mind the fact that you married the said halfblood," Harry replied dryly.

"Well, I shall do my best for your interest, my dear."

"But we still have to prove that Sirius is innocent. Could you arrange a trial for him after he recovers from Azkaban?" he asked. "With Veritaserum everything will be cleared up."

"Your wish is my command." Lucius said with faint amusement. "As for Wormtail…send him to me.'

"What?" he asked. "Are you sure about that? The rat is a traitor!"

Lucius smirked coldly and Harry was suddenly reminded of the fact that his husband once was one of the most dangerous of Death Eaters. "That rat will rue the fact that he was ever born if he dare to betray me."

So, Harry spent the night planning, step by step, Sirius' release from Azkaban. After everything was carefully planned Lucius bid him goodnight and cut off the contact. He went sleep with a light heart, knowing that soon Sirius would breathe free air once more.

The next day Harry was the first to wake up. He pulled out his wand and cast sleeping charm in the dorms' inhabitants. He wasn't going to risk someone waking up in the middle of his activity.

The first thing he did was transfiguring a small, unbreakable cage from one of his hand me down shirts from Dudley. Then he put Wormtail into the cage. After that he transfigured a dead rat, replica of Wormtail, from one of his trousers. Well, he was going to throw those away anyway. The next thing was delivering the rat to Lucius. Harry stroked Hedwig's feather fondly before sending her off. She was his first friend and Harry was immensely saddened when she was killed.

When Harry returned to the dorm, there was a fuss there. Ron had noticed the state of his dead rat. Fred and George tried to entertain him. Harry suggested that he made a proper funeral for his beloved pet which Ron immediately agreed to. The twins gave him a look that suggested that he was mad for giving that advice to Ron but he ignored it. Well, one problem was solved…

At the same time, in the Ministry of Magic, Lucius Malfoy was waiting for the Aurors who were going to bring Sirius Black. First thing, that morning he had meeting with Fudge in order to release Sirius from Azkaban. It was amazing what one could accomplish with the right amount of money. The story would hit the paper tomorrow so he had prepared an official statement.

Black's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw him. The man was very thin and his grey eyes had a haunted look. But other than that, Black was fine and looked very sane.

"The trial will be held tomorrow," Fudge told him.

"Thank you, Minister," he replied. "You ought to do what is right, of course."

The blithering idiot responded eagerly. "Absolutely."

But then again, he was the main donor to Fudge so it was no wonder if the idiot would kiss his shoes. He motioned Sirius to follow him to the fireplace. They arrived in his London house a few seconds later.

"What is the meaning of this Malfoy?" Black spat at him.

"You better save your strength. What is left of it anyway. After all, you're going to have a trial tomorrow."

"What?"

He sneered at the man. "Has your brain stopped functioning?" he drawled. "In case it has escaped you I have gotten you out from Azkaban because you have stayed there for years. Thus you have broken the law. However, you need to prove your innocence."

"Why are you doing this?" Black asked suspiciously. "Are you going to deliver me to Voldemort?"

"You have wild imagination." He drawled. "I helped you because someone very dear to me asked me to."

Black snorted. "I doubt Narcissa cares about my wellbeing at all."

Ignoring the statement, he said. "I'm going to tell you something. If you ruin the trial tomorrow you'll regret it."

"And what will you do? Kill me?"

"No. Why would I do that after everything I did to get you out of that hellhole? I believe you have a godson, don't you?"

Black paled dramatically. "Don't you dare! Stay away from my godson, you Death Eater!"

He smirked. "I believe it's too late for that. You're the only one to blame. Instead of looking after your godson you went after Wormtail. And what's the result? You must be so proud of yourself." He said sarcastically.

"I-" Black looked very shaken.

"They will ask your name and whether you're the Secret Keeper of the Potters under Veritaserum. If it wasn't you then who was the person? Answer them directly. That's all. Then you will leave as a free innocent man. And I warn you Black, should you ruin it I shall make you pay for it."

Meanwhile for Harry he was having Transfiguration as his first lesson. McGonagall taught them how to turned rat into water goblet. Ron, at seeing rat, became saddened again and didn't try at all.

"Vera Verto," Harry intoned and watched as the rat in his desk turned into beautiful crystal goblet.

"Very good Mr. Potter." McGonagall said. "Ten points to Gryffindor."

Hermione, not to be outdone, was the next to success, earning another five points to Gryffindor. She didn't scold Ron because Harry had told her about Scabbers' supposed death.

The Slytherin side of the class sneered at them and Harry knew that he had to do something about them. But, first, he had to release Sirius from Azkaban. After that, a visit to Rita Skeeter would do. After all, Harry had learned the power of media and Lucius had taught him to use the press for his own good. Besmirching Voldemort's name aka Tom Riddle, a lovechild of Merope Gaunt and Thomas Riddle, a muggle, was next in his list. Voldemort would never know what hit him, Harry thought gleefully.
