ON WITH THE SHOW!

"The case of Sirius Black, Lord to the Ancient and Noble House of Black vs. The Wizarding World now in session, everyone take your seat." Spoke the toad like woman from behind the oversized podium. Her bright pink skirt suit stood out obnoxiously from underneath her official robes, making her look like a robed circus balloon. Her mouth turned upward slightly in a smirk, knowing that whatever the outcome today, she would be in a higher position for it.

It had been five months since Harry had the dream of Sirius with the proof of his wrongful conviction, and since then, Kingsley had been acquiring evidence of Sirius Black's innocence. They had finally gotten him a trial, but since Madam Bones was going to be a witness, it was decided by the Wizengamot to appoint a neutral party as the Judge. This 'anonymously' decided neutral party happened to be Undersecretary Delores Umbrage, a pink monstrosity with a love of all things fudge.

Harry sat in the court room as a ragged man was dragged in on metal chains connected to tight cuffs that bound his thin, bruised wrists. His greasy hair knotted around his heavily lined face, and torn prison garb hung haphazardly from his malnourished body. There were long lacerations and deep dirty welts adorning his body, visible only where the uniform was ripped. His blue eyes crazed as he looked hopefully around the room. They lit up slightly when he spotted a dirty blond man around the same age with thread bare robes sitting the audience chambers. He was led to a section of the stands, blocked off to anyone not a part of the trial, then chained to a chair and forced to sit completely still lest he be hit with a stunner.

"That's him, papa. Grandpa, that's the man from my dream. That's Sirius! He looks so sick. Why is he chained? He looks hurt and sad. Will he be okay Papa? Will he be okay?" Harry questioned, his green eyes tearing as he looked pleadingly at his father who scooped him up into his lap.

Before he could answer, Delores in her girlish and high pitched voice started with the trial defense, your opening statements, please"

"Ladies and Gentlemen of this great wizarding body, I stand before you today in defense of a man who has been served a great disservice. Sirius Orion Black, heir to the house of Black and rightful Lord of one of the most powerful houses of this century has been wronged by his nation. I plead this great body to look past house and political affiliations and serve this wronged man the justice that he deserves".

"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore, your first witness please."

"We call to the stand, Amelia Marie Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Justice." Said an old man with long white beard, imperiously. His flashy bright robes made Harry giggle, but his twinkling eyes and magic made Harry not want to trust him.

Amelia walked up and sat in the middle of the court room on a raised dais. . A flash of bright blue light signified the application of the truth spell. The old man asked her a bunch of questions related to her part in the imprisonment of the accused in way in which Harry didn't quite understand, before another man came up and started asking her other questions that made her fidget. Harry didn't like that man at all.

Next, the tall black man he had talked to and took to his Library was called up. He showed the memory and dream Harry had shown him and left after both men had questioned him.

When Sirius was called up, he was unchained from the chair, only to be dragged to the center of the room and chained to the chair on the raised dais. Harry felt his magic build up around him angrily at the way Sirius was being treated. He was questioned by the old man first, and asked about Harry and keeping secrets. Harry felt the pressure build in his tummy throughout the entire trial, but when the other man came up and started asking why Sirius did it and accusing him of lying, the pressure became almost unbearable.

Sirius denied doing anything, he sat up straight and wiggled which caused the man with the pole standing behind him to cuff him on the back of the head hard just like Uncle Vernon did when Harry wasn't making his meal fast enough for him. Harry decided he had to do something, he could see the people in the jury box nodding their heads along with the mean man. He and Grandpa had been working on his control, and now with mediation, Harry could let just a bit of magic out and direct it to toward one person. He closed his eyes and concentrated, letting just enough out to influence the mean man and get him to stop asking such hurtful questions. Then, he let enough out to make all the people in purple robes on the jury stand want to please him by setting Sirius free.

The ugly toad-like lady at the top said

"Those in favor of conviction and continued incarceration"

Harry let out more magic to make the jury people not want to raise their hands. His magic subtly spread around the court and nobody raised their hands.

The ugly lady looked like she ate the warhead Harry accidently ate one time when given to him by Dudley as a prank as she said,

"Those in favor of clearing the accused of all charges"

Harry let out just a touch more magic to get everyone to raise their hand. Everyone did.

The ugly lady scowled and said

"I, Stand-In Judge Dolores Jane Umbridge, herby do clear the accused of all charges. Cleared of all charges. We will meet again in two weeks' time to discuss compensation for Lord's Black's unjust time in Azkaban."

Then Grandpa stood up and said "for Merlin's sake, get him out of those chains and let a healer attend to him." The man behind Sirius walked around and undid the chains from Sirius's thin and fragile wrist, and a short plump lady in all white scurried up to him and force-fed him potions and waved her wand around his back to close up and bandage the lacerations and close the holes in his prison garb.

Harry sent one more wave of magic over to all the people in purple, so that way they would truly think it was their idea to let Sirius free.

The lady came back in, her puffy red face looked surprisingly like Uncle Vernon, and clashed terribly with her horrid pink outfit, and pulled his Grandpa aside and said

"It was decided that Lord and Heir Sirius Orion Black will be given ten thousand galleons for every year he spent imprisoned and will receive full payed medical for himself and his family should they find the need. He has also been given full access to his previously frozen accounts. He will be reinstated into the Aurors if that is his wish as soon as he passes both a physical and mental health exam and as long as he keeps up his therapy, he is allowed full or partial custody of his godson Harry James Potter.

Peter Pettigrew has been declared Public enemy number one, and is to be arrested on sight for his transgressions. This court has adjourned."

Harry squealed and ran as fast as he could down to the battered man on the floor, not even waiting for his guardians to give him the go-ahead.

He never saw the look his father and grandfather shared over his head when they noticed the use of his magic, and had no idea how much trouble he would be in when they got home, but for now, they decided to let him get acquainted with his godfather.

"Padfoot!" Harry yelled when the thin, battered man came into his sight. Before Sirius had time to react, the small body barreled into him, knocking them both over.

"Oomph." Harry giggled and hugged his godfather close, uncaring about the dirt or horrid smell that coated him.

"I knew they would let you go! I just knew it! Now you can live with me and Papa, and if we can find Mooney he can live with us too, and I'd see you every day!"

"HARRY!" was shouted from a disheveled Sirius once he realized who was clinging to him.

"Yep yep yep! It's me it is!" he chirped back, hugging his godfather again and kissing him on his filthy cheek, before the guard with the pole tried to pull him off. As the guard reached to touch him, electricity flew from his skin and zapped the large man trying to take him. The guard flew back with a yelp and landed in a heap on the floor.

"Don't you dare touch me!" he shouted angrily, getting off Sirius and walking towards the guard now laying on the floor. "You were mean to Sirius. You hit him, you said mean things to him, and you tried to take him away from me."

Not noticing he was in the middle of the courtroom with all eyes on him, Harry stalked towards the man like a panther on a hunt. His eyes shining with barely concealed power, and white magic flowing off him in waves, creating a mist, causing the man to cower on the floor like a dog.

"SAY SORRY!" he demanded, his seven year old body towering over the whimpering guard.

"Harry." came a sharp voice "That's enough." The firm sound snapped the boy out of his anger and the magic instantly calmed. Harry looked around through the people to see who said it, when his eyes landed on a man with sharp but kind eyes and tattered robes, kneeling next to Sirius. He appeared to be the only person in the room unaffected by his magic.

"Mooney?" he asked just before he passed out.

Remus impatiently sat through the trial knowing his mate was not guilty and praying he would be let off. When the announcement of Sirius's freedom was made, he walked as quickly as he could down to the center of the court room, only to be stopped by three guards who inadvertently let a child run by and tackle his frail mate.

"Sorry, but you will have to wait until he has had medical treatment before seeing him." one guard said causing Remus's temper to flare. He almost said something, when he caught the scent of his cub mingling with that of his mate. He jerked his head around in time to see his cub kissing his mate on the cheek before one of the guards who was stopping him tried to physically lift his cub off Sirius. Mooney went mad inside of him, and he pushed the other two guards away and ran to his mate's side, intent on giving the guard a piece of his mind when the man flew off his cub yelping and landing in a heap on the floor. He looked at his cub and Harry had magic flowing off him, as he stalked forward.

"Don't you dare touch me!" he heard his cub say. "You were mean to Sirius. You hit him, you said mean things to him, and you tried to take him away from me."

Mooney started to get restless inside of him. He was the Alpha with or without a pack, and cub or not, until he was older, stronger, and had earned the title of Alpha, his cub would NOT use magic like that on him.

"Harry" he said sharply, jarring the boy out of his anger induced state "that's enough." He breathed a sigh of relief when the magic calmed down and stared down at the swaying child, ready to move should he pass out.

"Mooney" he heard before pouncing to catch the exhausted child who was out cold by the time he landed in Remus's arms.

Remus carried the unconscious child back to his mate and held them both while the rest of the court tried to recuperate and figure out what happened.

"Harry!" he heard vaguely being shouted, "That's my grandson, let me through you oversized flobberworm." When nothing happened, he heard the same voice shouting "you clearly have the brain of a troll, so let me put this another way, if you don't let me through this moment to collect my grandson, I will press charges!" he saw two men rush forward and crowd around him.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. I tried to get custody several times but they wouldn't let me. I would never hurt him." Remus said softy.

"We know"

Remus was shocked to hear this calm response

"We saw you in his memories. We searched for you, but we figured you left to be with your pack after your mate and cub were taken away." The younger one answered softly, kneeling down to pet his cub's head, but making no move to take him

"So then you know what I am? And you are alright with me being a part of his life?" he asked cautiously

"We were actually hoping you could train him, seeing as you are an incredibly strong willed Alpha and his Dom-magic doesn't affect you."

Remus beamed "I'd love to get to know my cub!"

"Do you have a pack? If you do, we were thinking we would give you a portkey, one that goes directly into his training room and you could go back and forth. Of course, Harry wants you to live in his meditation room with your pack, but that's completely up to you."

Remus looked into the man's eyes and said

"The only pack I have is my mate, my cub, and my cub's family.

No one saw the pair of twinkling blue eyes in the back, watching everything unfold.

That night, after they got home, Harry was faced with two very angry guardians.

"Do you have any idea what kind of damage you could have caused?" said his Papa quietly, but firmly. "Had anyone realized what you did, they could have put you in jail for impeding justice. Harry, what you did could have stopped Sirius from getting free. Never use your power to force your will onto someone else."

Harry started crying "I didn't mean to, I just wanted him to be let go. I didn't like how they were treating him! They were so mean I couldn't help it."

"You will write me an essay on why what you did to the members of the court were wrong."

"Why was that wrong, but me using my power against the guard wasn't? I don't understand!" Harry shouted, his magic coming out in bursts and shattering all glass in the room.

"Calm down Harry, you don't want to hurt anyone do you?" said his Grandpa "with the Guard, he touched you first. It was wrong of him to touch you, and you made him stop. I don't think you made the right choice, but the choice you made wasn't bad in that situation. Understand?"

Harry nodded his little head, tears still coming out of his green eyes, and he asked quietly

"Can I have a cuddle?" he had gotten in trouble before, but he never felt so bad about doing something as he did in this moment. He hadn't thought about the fact that he was taking people's free will and their ability to make decisions away, he just wanted them to be nice to Sirius.

He was scooped up into the strong hold of his Papa and they all sat on the couch as Harry cried his eyes out, burying his face in the junction of his Papas neck and shoulder.

After a while, Harry had cried himself to sleep, and they all went to bed, hoping tomorrow would be a better day.

Within the next week, Sirius was discharged from the hospital with strict bed rest orders, and came to live with them, with him came Remus and the start of Harry's new tutoring.

Remus was floored at the training and meditation rooms, and spent an entire day down there just checking it out, and planning Harry's new regimen, and testing whether Harry's control, and knowledge in theory and were sufficient enough to move on to real magic. They worked and tested for a week before Remus deemed it good enough to move on to the basics of practical magi.

Along with finally getting to actually practice magic, Harry also had to study beginners' history, math, and science and of course English. They started potions, but only learning how to prepare ingredients and the importance of why they are prepared the way they are, (though they usually practiced on junk food and ate it after). Harry was thrilled and they found that with Harry practicing small charms and such, his bouts of accidental magic lessened in frequency and intensity. Remus believed it was because it now had an outlet.

"Have you gotten ahold of anyone yet?" Remus asked. They were trying to find a martial artist trainer and a gymnastics instructor so Harry could actually use his gymnasium, but for some reason all their owls had returned back unopened.

"No, the one I sent out this morning came back once more. Someone is clearly blocking our mail. There is no other explanation for it. We have looked into everything else." Mike said angrily

"Harry hasn't gotten a single thank you letter or gift from a fan, and I personally know people who have written them. This is not good at all." Said Remus. Mike went to reply, but was interrupted by doorbell.

"I wonder who that is." Questioned Kenny, coming from the kitchen to answer the door.

Kenny opened the door, and his eyes brightened when he saw his old headmaster standing with that same shine in his eye he always had.

"Headmaster! Come in, we weren't expecting you! It's good to see you, would you like some tea?" he asked, a smile on his face as he ushered the man inside.

"Why thank you my boy, I would love some." He sat down on the family room couch and looked around for little Harry, but couldn't see him anywhere.

"To what do we owe this pleasure sir?" Kenny asked, serving the tea and waiting to hear what the man said

"I was actually hoping I would be able to meet young Harry and check up on Sirius. The last time I saw them was at the trial, and I wanted to make sure he was alright. Not to mention, that I missed saying Hi to Harry and wanted to apologize for not checking up on him at his Aunt and uncles house, since I had no idea where he was; however now I do and would very much like to take the time to apologize to him. I promised myself I would never do such a thing again." He said looking down in shame.

"He is down in his Gymnasium with Sirius. I'll go fetch them." Remus said, slight suspicion shining through his eyes. Remus hadn't trusted the man since he locked his mate away.

"Thank you my boy" Dumbledore responded, a grandfatherly smile on his face.

Remus went upstairs to the spare room, lifted the rug and climbed down the latter to the Gymnasium below, walking in on Sirius jumping on the trampoline, and Harry nowhere to be seen.

"Siri!" he shouted, only to be ignored by the childlike man. He tried again, only louder

"Siri!" again to no avail, so he took his wand and fired two gunshot sounds, knowing that though the room was silenced from the outside, sound reverberated off the walls maximizing every noise inside.

Sirius screamed like a girl, turning around with his wand drawn.

"Mooney!" he whined, sounding far too much like Padfoot, his animagus form.

"I tried calling your name and you didn't respond. Now, where is our cub?"

"Up here Uncle Mooney!" giggled a voice from above. Harry had climbed to the top of the knotted rope, and was now sitting in the rafters.

"Well come down here now! You have someone who wants to meet you, and come down via…" he didn't get to say 'the rope', because Harry had monkeyed his way across the rafters, and dropped into the marshmallow pit, all the way from the ceiling.

"HARRY!" Remus screamed rushing over to the pit of foam squares, meant for tumbling and uneven bars practice.

"'m k" came the muffled response and Harry struggled to get out of the fluffy trap. He pouted when he realized he was in the middle of the pit, surrounded by foam and unable to struggle his way to the side in order to climb out.

"I'm stuck…" he said poking out his lip.

"Well now you have learned for next time haven't you." Said Mooney, his hand still on his heart, trying to get it back to a normal speed. He took his wand and levitated the seven year old out.

"Yes Uncle Mooney." Harry said "next time I'll drop closer to the edge" he grinned cheekily."

Remus stopped mid-step.

"Or maybe, I'll drop on the trampoline! Siri! How high do you think I'll bounce if I dropped all the way from the ceiling?!" he continued excitedly, not realizing he was about to give Remus a heart attack. Sirius grinned right along with him, but unlike Harry, he knew exactly what he was doing to his lover.

"Maybe if you do it right, you can drop from the ceiling, and bounce right into the marshmallow pit!" he said with a shit eating grin.

"Yeah! Or maybe I can bounce high enough that I can grab back hold of the bars on the ceiling!"

"OKAY! No more of you watching him alone Sirius!" Remus said, resuming his previous pace, and catching up to the two brats in front of him.

"Harry, let me fix your hair." Remus brushed his hair out of his face and attempted to fix the birds nest enough to make it presentable, though it admittedly looked cute with his flushed cheeks, bright eyes and wide smile.

"We are going to meet Professor Dumbledore. He is a headmaster, so be on your best behavior. Alright?"

Sirius's smile vanished when he heard that name. He pulled Remus back when Harry started to climb the rope latter "what is he doing here?" he whispered, scowling angrily.

"He said he wanted to apologize and meet Harry. I don't trust him either, but he will be Harry's headmaster one day, so play nice." Remus whispered back, knowing how angry his mate was

"I know he hurt you," Remus said, lightly kissing his mate "but we have to play nice at least until Harry is out of school. We can't let our anger effect Harry's schooling. Now put on a smile and get up there." He said tapping Sirius lightly on his bum and climbing up after him.

In the family room, Albus and Kenny were talking like old friends, both sharing stories of Kenny's Hogwarts days with his adopted son, when Albus's mood suddenly darkened.

"I am worried about Harry" he said, after a bit.

"And why is that?" Kenny asked, his eyebrow raised at the sudden change in mood.

"I worry that without the blood wards, now that it is known who is keeping him, Deatheaters will be able find him and hurt him and your family."

"I can protect my Son." Mike said defensively. Just because he didn't have magic, didn't mean he wasn't a deadly force when it came to protecting his family.

"Against one or two, I have no doubt. But they will attack like wolves, descending upon your home in twenties and thirties. I have heard tales of a ringleader rallying Voldemort's forces in order to exact revenge. I worry for your safety, and the safety of that seven year old boy."

Dumbledore replied gravely, suddenly looking extremely old.

"Well, what do you suggest headmaster?" Kenny asked, before Mike could bristle even more at the thought of not being able to protect his family.

"I suggest you come to live at Hogwarts." Dumbledore replied strongly.

Kenny narrowed his eyes "Mike would be unable to come. The castle will not let him in since, even if he does practice Earth magic, he has no magical core of his own."

"It would only be for a while, and he could live Hogsmead and you could meet up on the weekends. Besides, there would be more tutors at your disposal and the castle has many places for Harry to explore. It would keep your family, especially Harry, safe. Surely you can see the importance of that." Dumbledore said diplomatically.

He could see that his appeal was winning Mike if not Kenny over. 'Now all he had to do would be convince his old student, and he would have Harry back in an environment he could control and mold to his will. Yes, this was coming along nicely. Soon he would be able to sculpt his perfect hero. This would be better than having Harry at the Dursleys.' He thought, not expecting this conversation to be overheard by the boy hiding around the corner.

Harry climbed up the latter, knowing Uncle Mooney and Sirius would stop to talk and kiss like they always did. He was excited about meeting his Grandpa's and someday his headmaster. He decided to stop by his room to change his shirt before heading down the stairs. He stopped around the corner from the family room and tried to comb his hair down when he heard an old sounding voice start to speak,

"I suggest you come to live at Hogwarts"

Harry's face split into a smile. He had always wanted to see Hogwarts! Ever sense Grandpa told him about it. His grin immediately vanished when he heard Grandpa say

"Mike would be unable to come. The castle will not let him in since, even if he does practice Earth magic, he has no magical core of his own."

Harry's eyes started tearing up. He wanted to see Hogwarts, but he didn't want to leave home, and he didn't want to leave Papa. He suddenly felt white hot anger rip though him when he heard the old man try to convince his Papa and Grandpa it was for the best for them to leave Papa behind. He knew that when the man mentioned his safety, Papa would give in. Papa would never go against anything that was for his safety. He had to stop the man. He couldn't let him break up his family!

Harry ran from around the corner, magic swirling around him, not noticing his Uncles try to stop him, all he knew was that he had to stop this man "NO!" He screamed

"I won't let you take my Papa away from me!" Harry ran and stood in his 'Fighting stance' in front of Mike

"I won't go! We can be safe here! I won't go!" his angry magic burning him from the inside, trying to escape, but Harry knew how disappointed his family would be with him if he let it out.

"Harry, my boy" Dumbledore said, slightly shocked at the sight in front of him. 'Yes', he thought 'I chose the perfect savior. Now he just needs to obey me.'

"I'm not trying to take your Papa away, I just want you to be safe. It would be very heartbreaking if the bad people found you and hurt your family right?" he said trying to convince everyone in the room, appealing to the protective side he knew was in each and every one of them.

"NO!" Harry screamed, his magic lashing out before he tightened his control on it. A few months ago he wouldn't have been able to keep it from hurting the man before him, but since Remus had been working with him he was able to keep it under control, but he felt himself slipping.

Knowing Harry was about to lose control, Remus stepped out from his hiding place "Harry!" he snapped in his 'Alpha voice' "Control your magic, or you will hurt someone. You don't want that."

Harry tried to rein it in, but it kept getting loose.

"You can do it Harry. You are in control of your magic, not the other way around" came Sirius's soft voice. He often watched the lessons on control, throwing in his two-sickles when he could.

The magic around the room eased and Remus said "That's it Harry, control. Even when you're angry." The magic was still there, but it was as if someone put damper on it.

"I am so proud of you." Remus said steading the swooning boy.

Dumbledore was in aww of the power and control he witnessed.

"Can you help him with control if he went to live at Hogwarts?" Kenny asked quietly, once everything had settled. He hated how much his little boy struggled.

Mike nodded and said "Remus has done an incredible job with him, but if there are more people who could help…"

Harry stood up, turning wide, betrayed eyes on his two guardians

"You said you would never leave me!" he accused.

"We won't Harry, you know we never would!" Mike defended, unable to stand looking at the hurt shinning in the emerald eyes

"You can't go to Hogwarts! You want to send me away! You want to leave me! You promised!" Harry shouted, screaming the last word before running out the front door.

Mike, Kenny, Remus, and Sirius ran after him, faster than Dumbledore could get up, going out the door just in time to watch Harry disappear.

"Shit!" shouted Kenny. "He's dis-apparitioned!"

"Fuck!" came from his left. "We have no way to know where he went!"

Remus turned on Kenny and Mike "how Dare you!" he said through his teeth, his quiet tone doing nothing to dampen the intensity

"You knew he still has abandonment issues, and trouble with trust! You knew that he would perceive this as abandonment. You knew he still has trouble dealing with the Dursleys, and yet, you made it sound like you were agreeing to send him somewhere he wouldn't be with his Papa anymore. Now, we have no idea where my cub went, no way to comfort him after the flashbacks he will inevitably have, no way to assure him of our love and that we still want him, no way to tell if he is in danger, and no way to protect him if he is!" Remus steadily got louder through his rant, until he was yelling in their faces. He turned on Dumbledore next.

"And You! You let Sirius rot in prison, you left Harry in an abusive home, never checking up on him and you come into our home expecting all of us to turn around and trust you enough to abandon one of our family members and come live in a place where you have authority over everything that happens?! Because of all of you, my cub is gone!" He turned on his 'Alpha voice' Now, I am going to call the Aurors and hope they can tell us where he apparitioned too since he is still under age, and pray he is not dead by the time we get there." He turned on his heal and marched back inside heading to the fireplace.

Behind him, four adults stood, flabbergasted and ashamed.

"We never should have said anything." Kenny said before turning to Dumbledore

"Please leave. If he comes back, I don't want you here."

"I only want your safety my boy" Dumbledore said sadly shaking his head.

"At this moment, I don't care, I just want you away from my son" said Mike. "Leave, we will call you when we find him, but I don't want to see your face here again."

"Very well. Just remember if anything happens, those who need it will always have sanctuary at Hogwarts." The old man apparited from his spot

"Unless you're a muggle." Said Mike bitterly, over Sirius's growl. They all headed inside to see if they could help Remus.

Harry curled up in a ball, crying. He just wanted to get away, but he ended up in the middle of a forest. He wanted to go home, and he wanted to have a cuddle with his Papa and Grandpa and Uncles. He cried when he thought about how they didn't want him, his old uncle's voice in his head screaming at him

'Who would want a freak like you?!'

Harry saw spittle flying at him from nowhere, as his old uncle appeared out of thin air, his beefy hands grabbing him around the neck.

"No one! That's right!" Harry clawed at the hand cutting off his breath, and tried to swallow against it, but nothing worked. His vision got fuzzy, and he screamed. The man let his throat go, allowing Harry to collapse in a heap on the ground before kicking him in the ribs, and head repeatedly.

"You know they will never want you! This is all you're good for you disgusting whelp." Harry tried to run, but the obese man grabbed the back of his shirt ripping open it and causing Harry to stumble. He took off his belt and lashed down on Harry's shaking form.

Someone grabbed him on the shoulder and he screamed.
