Ch 209: Trial.
Harriet and Kyra reappear in an empty great hall with Professor Sprout waiting for them.
"Hello Professor." Harriet says to Sprout.
"Harriet lets go talk in my office then I can walk you to the common room." Sprout says
Harriet nods with a kind smile.
===================
In Sprouts office.
(Sprouts pov)
"So we have a lot to talk about." Sprout says
"Ask anything you want, if I can answer it I will." Harriet says
"You said your guardian was Lord Wyllt what is he like?" Sprout asks wondering if Merlin may still be alive.
"Lord Wyllt is a woman. And she is also my adoptive mother and is amazing." Harriet says
"That's not possible, Merlin never had descendants and a woman can't be a lord." Sprout says
"Yes, a woman can be a lord if she is approved by a session of Wizengamot, or approved by a founder of it." Harriet says
"But Merlin died 200 years after founding Wizengamot and the Order of Merlin." Sprout says
'Who could still possibly be alive from that time.' Sprout wonders slowly getting close to the answer before she is interrupted by the chirp of a Phoenix.
"I can't answer that professor." Harriet says with a kind smile.
"Magical contract?" Sprout asks
"No" Harriet shakes her head. "Just not my secret to share." Harriet says
"However it it helps. I am also Lord Potter." Harriet says with a smile showing the Lord ring.
The Phoenix on Harriets head chirps again before lightly pecking the top of her head.
"Ow! Hey I can trust her, she is my head of house." Harriet says to the bird.
"So the Phoenix is your familiar?" Sprout asks
"We are very familiar with each other." Harriet says with a smile not answering the question.
'This is amazing!' Sprout thinks to herself meanwhile Harriet didn't really answer the question.
"I think I kept you here long enough. Have you eaten yet? The common room is next to the kitchen we could stop by and have a house elf make you some food?" Sprout asks getting up.
"That would be great." Harriet says with a smile.
===================
Meanwhile at an emergency Wizengamot gathering.
"Bring him in." Amelia Bones says
Sirius black is suddenly brought in by 2 Aurors.
"I finally get my trial? I was beginning to think you all forgot." Sirius says
"Imagine my surprise when I found out you never got trial." Madam bones says
"I will submit to trial by Veritaserum." Sirius says
Amelia nods and has an Auror bring out the colorless tasteless potion.
After it gets poured down black's throat.
"Were you the Potters Secret keeper?" Amelia asks
"No that was Peter Pettigrew." Sirius says
"Did you kill those muggles?" Madam Bones asks
"That was also Peter. He then screamed for help before cutting off his own finger and running away as a rat." Sirius says
"A rat?" Madam bones asks
"He is an animagus Rat."Sirius says before the cure is administered.
"I think what was said here speaks for itself." Madam Bones says giving a dirty look at Fudge.
"Can I see my god daughter now! I mean I was under a magical oath to not bring harm to her. My innocents should've been obvious since I'm alive." Sirius says
"That can be arranged." Madam Bones says
"Thanks Amelia, is our marriage contract still active?" Sirius whispers to her.
"I will have to check with the goblins." Amelia says
=======================
"So what is the password?" Harriet asks Sprout while holding food from the kitchen.
"That's the good thing is that there is no password." Sprout says tapping a barrel rhythmically and a door opens up.
"That is how you enter." Sprout says
"Oh no." Harriet says
"What's wrong dear?" Sprout asks
"I'm tone-deaf." Harriet says
"Then have your Phoenix tap it then." Sprout says
Harriet watches in humor as Kyra shakes her head no.
"She's tone deaf aswell." Harriet says
"I didn't think that was possible." Sprout says in shock.
"'It's nothing magic can't solve though.'" Kyra messages Harriet.
"I will figure it out though." Harriet says with a smile.
"About time you showed up." Cedric says
"You're a prefect? I thought you had to be a fifth year?" Harriet asks
"So you know your rules good. No I just volunteered to tel you Susan Bones and Hannah Abbot are your roommates." Cedric says
"Thank you. Which room?" Harriet asks
"Up the stairs 3rd room on the left according to the female prefect. Your stuff wasn't in there for some reason." Cedric says
"It's fine I carry it on me. Have a good night...?" Harriet says
"Cedric, Cedric Diggory." Cedric says
"Thank you Cedric." Harriet says going up the stairs.
"She actually passed." The prefect says having watched the whole situation.
"Yeah, she's almost a perfect puff." Cedric says
"I will mark her down for no conditioning." The female prefect says writing on her parchment.
