Chapter Text
“TOBY GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE BEFORE I TURN YOU INTO A FUCKING RACCOON!” Two blurs ran by, one laughing as he carried off a notebook of Harry’s, the other chasing him cursing and yelling the whole time.
It was a good thing that Slender and Sally were out of the mansion at the time, or else Harry would be in a lot of trouble.
Toby grinned back at him, hoping up where Harry couldn’t reach, opening the book with a large grin as Harry tried to grab him with no success.
“H-he tenderly h-held me in h-his a-arms-s as h-he kissed-d d-down my n-neck.” Toby read with a large grin, making Harry’s face burn bright red. The others had been following, curious of what the two were doing.
“Oh shit, Harry you writing a dirty novel here? You don’t have the experience for that.” Ben teased, making Harry blush harder, making his mother’s hair at this point.
“I-It’s a dream journal! Luna recommended it when I was having a ton of dreams and couldn’t figure out why!!” Harry told them, only making them smirk and chuckle.
“Aww, Harrikins having wet dreams huh? I wonder about who?” Jeff mused, quickly hopping up where Toby was to snatch the book and read it, making Harry groan in annoyance and embarrassment.
“N-None of your business! Just fucking give it back!” Harry yelled, trying to grab it from them.
Ben smirked, floating beside Jeff to also read it. “Aww, but we gotta be curious Harry. What if it’s about one of us?” Ben joked, even though they wished he wasn’t.
Harry blushed harder if that was possible before his eyes flashed red and the book caught on fire, causing Jeff to yelp and toss it on the floor, where the charred remains of it blew away. “N-Now no one will know.” Harry huffed with an annoyed glare at them before heading up to his room.
The three looked at each other.
“It was about one of us,” Toby said, the shock making his stutter disappear, if even for a moment.
“We need to find out. Now. Get Jack, Masky, and Hoodie. They’ll want to know too.” Jeff said, the other two nodding as the three rushed off to find out what was inside the journal.

“Hey, Sirius. How are you feeling?” Harry asked, standing outside of the cell that they required Sirius to be in until the trial. Said trial that Harry used his ‘boy-who-lived’ status to get after he let slip that his Godfather never got a trial and it might be possible that he was innocent. The daily prophet got a good kick out of it and people were outraged. Of course, not even a week later Minister Fudge put out a public statement that if Sirius Black came in willingly then they would hold a trial for him. Of course, Harry convinced him to go and so here they were, a week later with Sirius getting better care than he had in a long time, especially after they got mind healers to look at him.
“Fine kiddo. Just ready to be out of this cell. You sure you’re allowed to be down here?” Sirius asked, looking around since there were no guards nearby.
Harry just grinned slyly. “Why would they care that the Boy-who-lived just wanted to see his godfather before a big trial?” Harry asked him innocently, earning a laugh from Sirius as Slender came in to get him.
“Harry. It’s time to get to the meeting room.” Slender told him, making Harry smile at him with a nod, getting up and going to him.
“See you soon kiddo!” Sirius called after them as they left, making Harry smile softly as they headed upstairs.
“I am glad that you two can keep a relationship,” Slender told him, making Harry nod as they went on the elevator.
“Yeah, I will admit though that I’m kinda glad that I didn't end up living with him, though my life would have been easier. I like it at the mansion too much.” Harry told him, smiling up at the disguised entity.
Slenderman chuckled. “More like someones, I believe? Do not forget I know of all that happens in the mansion.” The entity reminded him, making Harry blush brightly. “Do not worry. I do not mind nor will I tell them your secrets. All I will say is that once you hit sixteen, you are ‘free game’ so to say as you are an adult in this world.” Slender told him.
Harry looked at him confused, wondering what that meant. But before he could ask, the doors opened and they headed off to the room for the trial.
The two headed towards their seats, the room having not begun filling just yet. They had arrived early for a specific reason after all.
Harry adjusted his lord ring, making sure it was visible to all as he went up to Amelia, knowing she would be the best to get what Harry needed to be done. “Hello, Lady Bones.” Harry greeted her, making the head of the Aurors look at him and smile softly.
“Hello Lord Potter. Ready for the trial?” She asked, making Harry nod at her with a smile.
“Yes and I actually had a question. Is it possible for the heir of the house to request for Veritaserum if the lord is being accused?” Harry asked her curiously, making Amelia look at him with a curious but knowing gaze.
“Yes, it is. I assume that means you’re...?” She trailed off, leaving Harry to grin at her as people started to file in.
“I guess we shall see? Have a nice day ma’am.” Harry told her before heading back to Slender, who sat at the Lord Potter seats waiting for Harry.
“I assume it was a yes then?” Slender asked, earning a nod from Harry as he sat beside him.
“Yep. Meaning that this trial will be easier than planned.” Harry told him.
“Not necessarily. There will be people who will love nothing more than to lock him away again or worse, simply because it would look bad that they locked an innocent man away without a trial. Be on your guard.” The entity reminded him, earning a nod from the boy as they sat and watched as the trial was about to begin.
Fudge stood at the judge’s stand, straightening up some papers. “Trial of Sirius Black of the twelfth of August. Requested on behalf of the accused godson, Heir Harry Potter-.” Amelia cut him off.
“He’s a Lord Minister. He is the only living descendant of the house, not to mention has claimed the Lord ring as well.” Amelia told him, earning a slight huff from Fudge as Harry smirked internally, having the Potter ring in full view for all to see at the time.
“Excuse me then, Lord Harry Potter. Interrogators: Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister for Magic; Amelia Susan Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement; Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister. Court Scribe, Percy Ignatius Weasley. We will now begin the trial. Bring in the accused.” Fudge announced, waving his hands.
Sirius was then dragged in, his arms chained with magic restraining cuffs as he was lead in the middle of the room and chained to the chair. Harry frowned a bit, thinking it was a bit much but understood it was technically necessary since they saw him as a dangerous individual.
“Minister Fudge, I would like to request the use of Veritaserum as Heir of House Black and the accused Godfather,” Harry spoke, earning a few looks as he leaned on the bar in front of him, letting his ring change to the heir ring of Black.
Fudge gritted his teeth as Amelia nodded. “Request granted. Aurors, bring in the Veritaserum.” Amelia told them, earning a nod as an Auror brought in the truth elixir.
Sirius agreed almost instantly and happily allowed them to administer the potion, as Amelia took the stand, being the only one with authorization to be asking questions at this time.
“What is your name?” She asked, making sure that the potion was working.
“Sirius Orion Black,” Black replied with a grin.
Amelia nodded with a satisfied look. “Let’s get straight into business then. Were you the secret keeper for James and Lily Potter?” She asked with a frown.
Sirius scoffed, looking offended. “Like hell! Dumbledore said that Peter would be a better idea. That fucking rat.” He ended with a growl, earning a few gasps from the Wizengamot.
“Did you kill Peter and those muggles sixteen years ago?” Amelia asked, not letting anything of what she thought showing on her face.
“That was Peter! The bastard is a rat animagus and killed those muggles before cutting off his finger and running off like the bastard he is! He hid as a fucking pet rat for years!” Sirius growled, pissed.
This earned more gasps, as Percy seemed to pale as he knew exactly who’s pet rat it had been. Harry hoped that Sirius didn’t let his emotions get in the way.
Amelia seemed satisfied, letting the Aurors administer the antidote. “I believe that we have heard enough here, haven’t we Minister?” She asked, looking at Fudge who jumped and nodded.
“Y-yes! All in favor of Sirius black being guilty, raise your hand!” Fudge called, only one or two hands raising. Harry narrowed his eyes at the all-pink lady, Umbridge(Umbitch) as she raised her hand. She gave him bad vibes.
“All in favor of voting Sirius Black innocent raise your hands.” Fudge spoke, as the whole room seemingly raised their hands.
Harry grinned as the order for Sirius to be released and given payment and treatment for his years in prison was announced, going off to see his godfather before he left.
“Hey there Prongslet!” Sirius greeted, walking outside the courtroom, a happy freedman.
“Sirius! You’re free!” Harry said, grinning at the man.
“Yep! Now I gotta go to the hospital and be cleared before I’m even allowed to have you visit.” Sirius seemed to deflate at that, earning a laugh from Harry.
“Do not worry Lord Black, I will make sure that once you are cleared for visitation, that Harry will be the first to show up,” Slender told Sirius, making the dog animagus grin at him.
“Thank you. And thank you for being there for Harry when I couldn’t.” Sirius told him, earning a smile from Harry as he hugged his godfather goodbye, heading off with his guardian.
“So. Think when I visit, we can bring Sally? I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t mind another person to spoil her.” Harry asked Slender, earning a chuckle and a shake of the head as Harry grinned back. He got a part of his parent’s back. Even if it was just his godfather. It was still big to him.
Harry was finally fully taking control of his life after Dumbledore and Voldemort ruined it all. And he couldn’t wait to rub it in their faces and show them the debut of a REAL killer. He needed to end their suffering after all.
