The next morning, Jaiden woke up in completely different place. She recalled what had happened last night. She remembered that she stayed with Sirius and her father in the Shrieking Shack. Just then she heard someone groaned behind her.

She turned around and saw her father. Remus opened his eyes just to see his daughter's brown eyes that very similar with him. She smiled at him.

"Morning, Dad."

"Morning, Cub." He said with hoarse voice. Remus turned away from Jaiden and saw Sirius still asleep. "Sirius, wake up." He called. Sirius woke up with a groaned and looked at both Lupins.

"Morning, you two." Sirius said and sat up.

"Morning." They said together. They made a small talk while eating their breakfast that Jaiden conjured for them.

Sirius took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's go to Dumbledore." The Lupins nodded and got up from the floor. "Let us help you, Rem." Sirius said. Jaiden and Sirius prop him up until they went out from the Whomping Willow. Jaiden put up the Invisibility Charm around them and walked inside.

When they reached at the front door of Dumbledore's office, Jaiden took off the charm and Remus composed himself. Jaiden knocked on the door and it swung opened by itself. They three walked in and there wasn't any sign of ministry people yet.

"Good morning, you three." Dumbledore greeted them. They mumbled morning back to him. "So, you all is here now, I can call for ministry." Dumbledore said and went to his fireplace.

For Jaiden, it seemed like Dumbledore was contacting someone through the fire. Dumbledore then walked away from the fireplace. The fire roared and there stood Cornelius Fudge and two more ministry people. The two ministry people immediately pointed their wand at Sirius when they spotted him. It made Jaiden went protectively in front of him.

Jaiden and Fudge made eye contact. It didn't go unnoticed by Jaiden that she saw fear flicked through Fudge's eyes.

"Lower your wand." Fudge said to his people. They looked at Fudge with confusion but obeyed his instructions. "As I understand, you want Sirius Black to have a trial. Is it true?" He asked Jaiden. She nodded. "Okay. We will redo his trial-" Jaiden furrowed her eyebrows in anger and cut him off.

"What'd you mean by 'redo'? He never had one. You just thrown him in Azkaban." She said with a slight anger. Fudge looked startled by this.

"Wait. You never had one?" Remus asked Sirius in disbelief. Sirius looked at him and shook his head slowly. The next thing happened to Fudge was, he got a death glared from both Lupins. Fudge people flinched and looked away to avoid Lupins glared. Fudge tore his eyes off of them both and looked at Dumbledore who was smiling at the scene.

"Albus, Black will have his trial tomorrow. But for now, we can't let him stay here. We need to bring him with us back to the cell at the ministry." Fudge said. Dumbledore looked at Jaiden for approval and Jaiden nodded.

"Okay." He replied. Jaiden turned around to Sirius and hugged him. He bend down to her level and hugged her back gently because it was full moon last night after all.

"Be careful." Jaiden whispered in his ear They broke the hug and Sirius smiled and nodded at her. He went to Remus and hugged him gently too. "Be careful, Sirius." Remus said once they broke their hug. Sirius smiled at the Lupins in front of him.

"You two are so much alike." He said with a slight chuckled. They just smiled at him. The ministry people went to Sirius and grabbed him by both his arm. Before they can go into the fireplace, Jaiden called back.

"Be gentle with him." She warned while glaring at them both. The two of them looked at each other before nodded and disappeared through the fireplace. Sirius smirked at her attitude. It made him proud. Fudge slowly walked to fireplace. He avoid the Lupins gaze and disappeared through the fire.

"I think that's it. You two can go to the Hospital Wing to rest. As always, Severus will take your class, Remus. And Jaiden you'll be excuse from your classes." Dumbledore said. They two nodded.

"Thank you, Albus." Remus said.

"Thank you and goodbye, AD." Jaiden said. Dumbledore nodded. Jaiden and Remus made their way out from Dumbledore's office and went down to the Hospital Wing.

On their way, they came across with Harry. "Good morning, Professor, Jaiden." Harry greeted.

"Morning." They said together.

"Where you guys going?" Harry asked.

"Hospital Wing." Jaiden said.

"Oh, Ron is still there. You can meet him." They two nodded. "How about Sirius?" Remus smiled.

"He's fine. He will have his trial tomorrow but he need to go with the Minister to ministry." Harry nodded in understanding.

"Let me help you to the Hospital Wing." With that Harry walked with them to the Hospital Wing. They walked in and saw Ron looked bored on his bed. Then he spotted they three.

"Hey, guys."

"Hai."

"Are you two alright?" Ron asked Remus and Jaiden. They smiled slightly and nodded.

"How about you?" Jaiden said while placing Remus on one of the bed and took another bed next to him. "Is your leg alright?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

Madam Pomfrey then came in and helped Jaiden and Remus. They made a small talk about what had happened the night before until Remus and Jaiden felt tired and fell asleep. For the rest of that day, Jaiden and Remus just stayed in the Hospital Wing and talked. Snape will come a few times to check on them.

After dinner, Remus and Jaiden check out from the Hospital Wing and went to separate way. Jaiden went to the common room and Remus went to his office. When Jaiden walked in, she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione was talking on the couch. Jaiden thought maybe Ron had check out from the Hospital Wing when she was asleep. She sat with them and they started to talk.

Harry and Hermione told them about they save Buckbeak and freed him. Jaiden told them about Sirius's trial. All in all, for the rest of night they talked and went to bed.

"Okay, Jaiden. I'll be right back before dinner. Take care." Remus said to her. They were all in the Headmaster office the next morning. Remus was called to be at the hearing too considering that he was Sirius and the Potters friends.

She nodded and hugged her father. "Take care of yourself too. You're still weak from the previous moon. Don't push yourself." Jaiden said. Remus chuckled and nodded.

"If you need anything, go to Severus." Remus said and she nodded again. Dumbledore and Remus walked to the fireplace and disappeared through the fire. Jaiden walked out from Dumbledore's office and went to start her first class. Her day went well until her father called her.

'Jaiden, go get Severus with you and come to the Headmaster office.' Jaiden could sense excitement in his voice. She replied quickly.

'On my way.'

She ran down to the dungeon and burst into Snape's office without knocking. Snape jumped and the sound of the door being slammed against the wall. He looked up and saw Jaiden. He immediately sighed in annoyed.

"What do you want?" Snape asked. "Not enough with what you did to me this morning in our class, you come to bother me again?" She raised her hand in surrender.

"Woah, take a chill pill, Sevy."

That morning when it was her class with Snape, she gave him a new creation by Fred and George that will make people talk nonsense. For the rest of the class period, she let Snape went that way until their class came to the end. It made Minnie to take 20 house points from Gryffindor.

"My Dad want you and me to go to AD's office." She said.

"Why?" She shrugged.

"I'm not sure. Let's go." He nodded and put down his quill. They both walked up to the Headmaster office and walked in. There they saw Sirius was talking happily with Remus and Dumbledore. Snape sighed quietly at the sight of Sirius. Jaiden immediately ran to Sirius and hugged him.

"Did you win the hearing?" She asked.

"Yep, thanks to you." Sirius said and smiled.

"Thanks to me? Why?" Sirius shrugged.

"Seems like Fudge was scared that you will be furious at him if he throw me back to Azkaban." Sirius said and they laughed.

"So, I've been thinking." Dumbledore started. "What about you have dinner with us, Sirius. Considered that you're free now. I'm sure Harry will be happy to see you." Sirius nodded.

"Why not? But I need to change my appearance first."

"Oh, don't worry, I've got this." She waved her hand and Sirius clothes changed into different one. But the clothes looked familiar.

"Jaiden, is that mine?" Remus asked.

"Yep, I can't thing of anything else." They all laughed.
