Chapter 176: Making arrangements
"Ted what's going on?" the thirty year old looking brunette woman at the table asked worried after seeing how hostile her husband seemed. Nick looked at this woman with a smile and politely dipped his head in greeting "You must be Andromeda then , a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Nicholas Ravenclaw and I came here to speak with your husband in regards to the unlawful imprisonment of your cousin Sirius Black." Nick said and the eyes of all three of the houses residents widened in shock. Ted did not like having been so easily dismissed by Nick but knew better than to allow himself to get angry over such a small thing.-
"Unlawful how? Sirius's sins were plain to see." Andromeda said with a stern expression. Nick didn't mind the hostility as he was aware that this news was of the faith shattering sort. Still smiling Nick answered "I assume then that you are unaware that not only is there not a shred of evidence against Sirius but in fact that he was also imprisoned without a trial as well?" he said once again leaving both Andromeda and Ted shocked once again.-
"That's impossible! The ministry would never allow such a thing!" Ted said in an attempt to refute Nick but Nick merely snorted disdainfully at it. "As someone who works closely with the ministry you of all people should be aware of the rampant corruption throughout it. Unfortunately for you however everything I have said can be easily verified , there is no record of a trial because there simply was no trial. The "victim" of the crime Peter Pettigrew is also very much alive and healthy to this day as well." he said shattering the entire families former knowledge of the situation.-
"Yes , I recently discovered that James Potter , Peter Pettigrew and Sirius black are all illegal animagi with Peter Pettigrew's animal form being none other than a common rat. As it just so happens the unnaturally long lived rodent living with the Weasleys is also missing the digit that Peter Pettigrew lost on that faithful night a decade ago." Nick explained seriously and the entire family looked horrified. "Poor Sirius has been rotting in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit this entire time!" Andromeda said teary eyed which was all Ted needed to see to decide to try and help Nick free Sirius.
