AN – AU story involving a fed up Sirius and the events he sets in motion. Hope everyone enjoys it. Read and review

Chapter 1

Sirius sat in Grimmauld place fuming; how could Dumbledore have let all this happen. Voldemort was back and no one believed Harry, the boy who lied as they now called him. He realized that Dumbledore was playing games; games that left Harry as an outcast, Sirius as a wanted man and the wizarding world at his mercy.

He entered the Black library with determination the likes of which had not been with him since they created the map. He was onto his sixth book regarding Wizarding law and the request for an appeal of a trial when there was a knock at the door. It startled him; no one knew where Grimmauld place was since it was under powerful and ancient magic

He grabbed a knife and made his way down the hall way careful not to wake the portrait. He flung the door open and was faced with one of the remaining four Black family members and she looked horrible.

"Sirius" she spoke and collapsed into his arms

He dragged her upstairs and into a bedroom so that she could sleep; Kreacher walked into the room and looked ecstatic that his favourite family member had returned.

"Take care of her" Sirius ordered and made his way back downstairs to focus on his task; it had just gotten more important

The hours went by and Sirius had found a solution to his problem; and if he could find it in a few hours then he knew so could Dumbledore. He was dragged out of his silent rage when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She stood in the doorway; black hair dishevelled, piercing black eyes full of tears and clothes which were ripped. He hadn't seen her since they turned 14, she was given to the Lestrange's in some marriage alliance and she was never the same. Bellatrix, she pretended to be the good daughter while she was under the eyes of her parents but late at night she would sit with Sirius and they would talk about the Muggle world and how lucky James was to have Lily who shared it with him.

"Sirius" she said when she saw that his eyes had glossed over in thought

"Hmm" he replied

"I need your help, I need you to protect me" she pleaded

"Come, sit. It seems we have a lot to talk about" he smiled

"We don't have much time" she said sitting down beside him and putting down several vials of memories

"Lestrange has me under a potion, if I don't drink it twice a day I will lose my memories and go back to my fifteen year old self. Today I managed to escape; he forgot the door unlocked and he poorly worded the vow he made me take" she paused

"I'm shit at potions" Sirius said "It was more a James and Remus thing"

"I don't want you to brew me the potion. I want to have another chance at life Sirius, I want to be fifteen again and try Hogwarts again"

"Are you sure? I know they never let you finish your education but would you really want to go back?"

"Definitely" she answered

"When does the potion wear off?" Sirius asked

"I have another hour or so" she glanced up at the watch

"Okay, I need your help then. Conjure up more vials, I need to drag a few memories up" he explained

"Are you going to get your name cleared?" she asked

"Both our names, I'm guessing those memories are all evidence to what Lestrange made you do?"

"Yes and more, it'll prove that Voldemort has returned and the cure for the Longbottom's" she wiped a tear away "Thank you Sirius" she smiled

"No problem, let's get to work" so they sat and gathered memories that Sirius thought was relevant and put them into vials

Hedwig flew into the window and perched herself on the back of a chair, she had a letter attached to her leg. Sirius packed all the vials into a box and started on a letter to an old friend who would help him before he read Harry's latest letter

Dear Amy,

I know it's been a while since we have written or even spoken to one another but this old dog needs your help. I was framed Amy and I need you to look over the vials in the box and the case law I found and see if you can help me at all.

There's more, before you roll your eyes, Bellatrix is innocent too. She has vials in the box as well.

If you can help us the House of Black will forever be indebted to the House Bones

Padfoot

Bellatrix sat down and started shivering, it started in her hands. Those hands which hurt so many, the she felt her whole body shrink back down to that of an adolescent. Next was her hair, it became as black as night all they grey disappearing and then she closed her eyes and forgot the last 30 years of her life. Her dark mark burned and then disappeared, scorching her robe's sleeve, and then she slumped in the chair

At the same time in Gringotts a marriage contract burned away in the Lestrange vault.

Sirius watched the transformation; he checked whether she was breathing. He called for Kreacher and instructed him to take care of her and then he went on to read Harry's letter

Hi Padfoot,

I am back at the Dursley's. Please keep Hedwig safe for the summer

I keep having dreams about Voldemort now that he's back. It's not making sense but I could really use your advice

Harry

The short note gave Sirius even more determination to accomplish his goals. He wrapped everything and asked Hedwig to take the parcel to the Bones home. She nipped his finger and grabbed the parcel and flew out the window. She arrived there the following morning as Amelia and Susan were having breakfast

"What a beautiful owl" Amelia commented as Susan grabbed a bowl for water

"It's Harry Potter's owl auntie" she smiled "And I think it's addressed to you, it says Amy" Susan said

Amelia knew only one person dared call her that, she jumped up and read the letter before taking the contents upstairs returning only to tell Susan to keep herself occupied for the day. She checked her schedule and knew that the idiot minister was not in the country and immediately got to work. If she was to free him she would have to do it today.

She sent out owls to Wizengamot member she knew were good or at least neutral until she had a majority. She contacted Albus to let him know that there was a trial that needed to happen immediately and he readily agreed.

She stormed into her offices and got everything she needed and then sent an owl to Susan with a note for Hedwig to take to Sirius.

Sirius read the note which simply read

Get your mangy arse to the Ministry and bring Bellatrix. NOW

He smiled
