Sirius Black fell on the soft rug, his body painfully bound with the conjured restraints from Dumbledore's wand. What the bloody hell is going on? Seconds previously, his cell was being inspected yet again by Dementors, and his body still shook from the daily traumatic experience. He closed his eyes, and yet again saw himself tripping over his best friends body, the sheer agony of the experience still coursing its way through his mind in the never ending cycle since his imprisonment.

A woman was still shrieking his name, and Sirius felt, rather than saw, a dozen wands pointed in his direction. He dimly heard several young people asking who he was, and heard the lie that hung over his head spread further. He felt himself roughly picked up by many hands, and deposited in an soft armchair, where his restraints warped around him and the chair, binding him to his seat.

Dumbledore watched as a stone faced Remus and hate filled Severus deposited black in a chair, and flicked his wand to keep him in place. He picked up the newly arrived note, and cleared his throat for silence.

"Black is bound tightly, you do not have to worry Molly. This note" he waved the piece of parchment before the assembled persons "has just arrived, along with seven books. I am now going to read the note"

Everyone nodded in response, wondering where they where, and why they where their. Dumbledore brought the note closer to his eyes and began to read in a clear, strong voice.

'I am sure that everyone is wondering why they are here.' Many nodded in response, while everyone leant forward in their chair, Hermione almost falling off of the couch she shared with her future friends. 'The simple answer is this- you are going to change the future' Dumbledore blinked in surprise, while gasps filled the room. Deciding to just plough on and ignore the reactions to the note, he continued reading. 'This note, along with the books is from7 years in the future. More than 1 in 4 of the people in this room will be dead by then. The future from where we are is looking brighter than ever before, but to get to this place, dark times had to be traversed, and countless good people gave their lives to reach this. To me, and my companions, this is unacceptable, and must be altered. Read these books. The order they should be read is as follows-

The Philosophers Stone

The Chamber of Secrets

The Prisoner of Azkaban

The Goblet of Fire

The Order of the Phoenix

The Half-Blood Prince

The Deathly Hallows

The information you receive in these books should help you make the future a better place. When you are finished, then a door will appear, and you can leave. I urge you to use the hard-won knowledge that these books pass onto you, in an attempt to change the future.

Thank you.

PS. Please remove all bonds on Sirius. You have my word he will not harm anyone. Keep a close eye on him if you wish, but allow him the same freedoms as yourselves in this room.

Shocked silence met the note. Dumbledore recognised the meaning of all the book titles besides the sixth one. He wondered who on earth would be connected to so many dangerous, and life threatening objects and events. Surely the person who the books centred on must be an uncommonly powerful Wizard. He wondered if the books centred on himself...

Remus Lupin was shooting glares at his old friend, who was just staring at Harry (who was determinedly looking elsewhere) and wondered why the murderer would be allowed to be free. He couldn't conceive a reason why that would happen. He deserves only the Dementors kiss, he thought savagely. He felt the wolf rise from within, the sheer hunger and yearning to tear Blacks flesh...

"Are you okay?" Tonks, Blacks pretty cousin placed a hand on his arm, and the wolf receded. She too was shooting Sirius dark looks. "He's just like the rest of my family. Sick, and not worth it" she continued with a smile aimed at Remus.

Molly had her wand in hand half aimed in Sirius's direction. What nutjob wants to release a murderer around my poor children? Are they insane? Resolve filled her, that if Black so much as took a step in her family's direction, she would spread his guts all over the carpet. Nodding in approval of this plan, she looked towards her old Headmaster.

"Given the nature of this unusual event, I feel it is only proper that we relea..." Dumbledore began, but was cut off by his furious potions master.

"We cannot allow that animal free! We should petrify him until we are able to escape this place" He looked at Albus, his eyes wild and begging. This scum gave up Lily! He all but screamed, allowing his Occlumency shields to drop and his employer to see.

Albus sighed "I am afraid we must release him Severus" he turned to Black "and we shall do so if he agrees to not harm anyone in this room. Black?"

Sirius watched this happening around him, bewildered, and wondering if someday the truth of his innocence would be accepted. If the note was from the future, that must be it! He was going to be a free man once more!

Eyes shimmering with unshod tears, he nodded "You have my word" On this, he restraints dropped to the ground and slowly melted into everything. He slowly stood up and reached over to the coffee table, aware of numerous wands pointed if not at him, near him. Picking up several plates of food and drink he returned to his seat, and began eating food he had not tasted for over a decade.

Harry watched, confused as to what was going on. What was this Azkaban that Hermione kept chattering about in his ear? Was their really books from the future to change some terrible fate in the Wizarding world from happening? If so, why was he their? He could no more impact events of the future than could a fly at parliament.

Luna watched as Wrackspurts attacked attacked Professors McGonagall, who was slowly rubbing her head in her hands, and though about offering her the treatment. She decided not too however, as it was better if only one person should be infected instead of the whole room. McGonagall was taking one for the team. What team, Luna wasn't quite sure, but knew that their was one all the same. Maybe the team was in fact a club? A book club by the sounds of it. She wasn't sure when she signed up, but maybe that didn't matter.

Neville watched his future professors with interest, while shooting nervous glances at Sirius Black. He had heard about what he done, and wanted nothing more than a few miles to separate them. However, he had also grown up hearing about Dumbledore, and knew he was safe in his presence.

The headmaster picked up the first book, and the low hum of chatter died out. He brought it closer to his face and announced the books title "Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone"

A/N: I should be able to update once every two days or so. Maybe sooner. The next chapter will of course be a proper chapter that everyone is expecting. Review with any advice please. Thanks for reading.
