Elsewhere at Number 4 Privet Drive

Knock, Knock, and Knock come the loud sound from the Front door as Petunia Dursley walked thru the house mumbling the entire time about pesky inferior people destroying her day by stopping by without even the decency of a phone call first to tell them that they were going to be by. When she opened the door she got the shock of her life.

"Hello Petunia, how are you this fine day?" Lily Potter asked her shocked sister with an amused smile on her face. "How about you invite me in?"

"But your dead you have to be." Petunia replied with a large quiver in her voice as she moved to allow her sister to come into the house then turned and started walking toward the sitting room.

"I was but James and I got feed up with the way that you have been treating our son. So we were allowed to come back to deal with the people that were causing the most of the harm. And guess what Petunia you were at the top of my list." Lily Potter told her with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"But I don't know what you are talking about" Petunia told her in a voice that reveled her lie to anyone that could be listening.

"My dear sister, you really should have kept your day job. Lying really doesn't suit you. I know about his living in the cupboard under the stairs and the beatings he got for asking questions. You even lied to him and he was told that his parents had died in a drunken driving accident. Lily told her sister yelling at her when she got to the part about Harry and the suffering that he had to go thru.

Lily stopped for a second and took several deep breaths to help clam herself down. She knew that she would get her revenge but just yelling at her sister was not going to satisfy her anger.

In this time Petunia started to rethink her plan with dealing with her sister. Vernon would be home in a few minutes and he could take care of the freak sister. She was thinking that James and Lily's wands were still upstairs in the trunk that had came about a week after the little freak was dropped off.

What she didn't know was that when James and Lily came back they had sneaked into her attic when the Dursleys were out and collect the trunk that should have when to harry it had their wands, pictures of both James and Lily when they were growing up and pictures of their wedding plus the diary that Lily had kept when she was going to Hogwarts and James transfiguration books that he had wrote down a lot of shortcuts and also other spells that he was using regularly during that year. A lot of them were not what a student would learn in the standard Hogwarts classes one of which was to take the tracking spell off his wand.

With the calming breathes that managed to help keep her temper in check Lily continued, "What about the fact that he didn't even know his name until he went to school? What is your reasoning for that dear sister?"

"Well that was Vernon and Dudley and I were scared to go up against them" she lied with a small scared look on her face. But it was her bad luck that Lily Potter was a master legilimens so she was able to detect the lie as soon as Petunia got done saying it. But Lily was willing to let it go on for now.

"Well if you want petunia you can come live with some friends of mine they will protect you form whatever Vernon and your evil brat want to do to you." Lily told her knowing that there was no way that the offer would be accepted that was in fact the reason that she had offered so she can say that she had made the offer.

Where is Vernon? Petunia was thinking for about the hundredth time in about a minute I can't keep her detracted for much longer. "No Lily I thank you for your kind offer but at the moment I think that my place is with my husband and son. I'm sure that you understand that don't you?"

"Why yes Petunia I do that is why I'm here for my son that you and your family abused from the day that he got here." was Lily's response back

At that moment Vernon Dursley pull into the driveway with his son Dudley. They had just got back form the bank where they had insured that the money that the freak Dumbledore was paying them had went thru. Vernon did not care about the money he would have treated the freak the same way but this way he got paid to do it.

As soon as Vernon and Dudley came thru the front door, Lily stood up and used a body bind on all three of them. Then she placed Vernon and Dudley on the couch next to her sister. She then lifted the spell on the heads on the three people.

"Now I am here because my husband would have just killed you but I believe that you can become hardworking members of society again so I was sent." Lily told them with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Now see here you tart" Vernon began but was cut off by Lily placing a silencing charm on Vernon to shut him up.

"No, dear brother in law let me tell you how it is going to be. First I am going to place a charm on both you and your whale of a son that will only allow you to eat enough to maintain an average weight. Sorry for you but that means that you will have to lose some weight and be unable to eat all you want the charm takes into account a lot of factors. So you can't say that you that you are being starved." Lily told the three members of the Dursley family.

"Also on you I am going to place a charm that prevents you from just having an explosive temper now you will have to think everything thru before you act. It's for the best dear Vernon. Lily said looking straight at her brother in law.

"Now for my sister's punishment for the abuse she piled on my son for the last 14 years of his life. You will be unable to gossip. You can and will be able to talk to people but you are no longer allowed to just be a mindless gossip." Lily told her sister with a dangerous glint in her eye.

"Finally for my precious nephew yours is also a curse that will be able to help you in everyday life. Like the curse that I am going to place on your mother the dear woman." Lily told Dudley with the sarcasm flowing on the last bit. "You will be unable to bully a defenseless child anymore. No matter what you try no longer will be you able to hurt little children."

With that Lily placed the charms and curses that she said had told them about on them and with a pop disappeared out of the Dursley Residence of Number 4 Privet Drive for the last time.

Back in Courtroom Ten at the Ministry Of Magic

"Lord Sirus Orion Black you are charged with the betrayal of the Potters and the murder of one wizard and twelve muggles. How do you plead?" The court scribe read from the parchment in front of him.

"I plead not guilty of the charges that are before me and demand a trial under veritaserum as is my right as the head of an ancient and noble house." Sirus responded with a level voice.

"Madam Bones I must protest, here is a murder he is not the head of an ancient and noble house." Dumbledore said as he stood up.

"Then it must be his lucky day Headmaster Dumbledore the parchment the scribe read off of is the self updating parchment that has all the court cases on it and if it and only it recognizes someone as the head of an ancient and noble house then we must go by the rules set up for them." Madam Bones told Dumbledore with a smile on her face she always wanted to get something over on the old fool.

"Now we must proceed with the trial of Lord Black here if you have no over objections, Headmaster" Lady Regent Longbottem told the now frowning man.

The court scribe by this time was down in the galley where the accused was waiting in the chair set aside for him. The scribe then placed three drops in the mouth of Sirus. He then turned around to the Wizengamot and told them "the accused is now under the effects of veritaserum, the questioning may begin."

"What is your name?" was the first question fired at Sirus.

"Sirus Orion Black"

"See I must object again even he admits that he is not the head of an ancient and noble house" Dumbledore told the Wizengamot as he was grasping at straws.

"I am getting tired of this Headmaster Dumbledore he was asked his name and not his title." So your objection is duly noted but is overruled once again." Lady Longbottem told him.

"What are you titles?" Lady Longbottem asked Sirus to end this line of inquiry.

"Lord of the Ancient and Noble House of Black, the Godfather to Harry James Potter, A Marauder by the name of Padfoot, Member of the Order of the Phoenix "

"Were you the Secret Keeper for the Potters?"

"No"

"Do you know who the secret keeper was and if you do you was it?"

"Yes it was Peter Pettigrew"

At this the whole courtroom went up in outrage that an innocent man was in the hell that was Azkaban for twelve years without a trial.

"Did you kill him on the morning of the first of November in the year of 1981?"

"No But I tried to"

"See he admits to attempt murder his charges just need to be revised and you can just send him back to Azkaban." Dumbledore told them but he hadn't been paying that much attention to the trial for the last few minutes as he was trying to find a way to savage the situation for him.

"Dumbledore you will remind that silence has been ordered in the courtroom for the last three hundred years so shut up." Madam Bones told him with rage clearly on her face.

"Who here votes that Lord Sirus Orion Black is innocent of all the charges that he is accused of" Madam Bones asked the Wizengamot? At that every hand when up and Dumbledore saw that he was defeated today but he would rise again he always did.

"Now admixture the antidote to Lord Black" Madam Bones dictated to the scribe. Who then hurried to do the task that he was assigned.

"Lord Black you are found innocent of all charges and the standard amount of ten thousand gallons per year that you went illegally to Azkaban." She then turned to the other members of the Wizengamot and told them "the notice will go out in tomorrow's issue of the prophet."

"With that I must dismiss the Wizengamot because all the members that are known are not a member so no business can be conducted until the new lords either appoint a proxy or goes and gets the formal robes that are needed to meet in the Wizengamot. As per the rules until a new minster is conformed in this body the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the acting Minster." Madam Bones ruled and then rose with the rest of the Wizengamot and headed out of the courtroom.

A/N sorry for the long delay I hope you all like the longer chapter I hope to be able to start to write on at least this long once a week. Again would like to thank my beta and my reviewers. Next chapter the reactions to the trial and Harry and Hermione's relationship.
