"That stupid brat!" Snape cursed as he was dragged by two aurors into his Azkaban cell, the court trial was over relatively quickly. Dumbledore had wisely chose not to be present, meanwhile Snape was given the harshest punishment, short of death, possible. "I will not let that arrogant brat ruin me!" He screamed

"Eh, shut your pie hole" One of the aurors punched Snape in the stomach, causing him to gasp out in pain "always wanted to do that" he grinned

"Don't know if you remember us Snape" The other one said as he also punched Snape "but we nearly failed our newt potions because of you, I can't remember a day going by without you calling us 'dunderheads'. Well, say what you want but we weren't the ones stupid enough to go to jail for attacking the 'boy-who-lived' in front of a class of witnesses." The two aurors tossed him into his cell and closed the doors "Have fun Snape"

"Yeah" The other auror smirked "the dementors will be by in half an hour, have fun" The two aurors smiled and walked off

'Well, this can't get any worse' Snape thought to himself as he sat up

"Oh Snivelus" Came a singsong voice from the cell to Snape's right "it's so nice to see you again my greasy, ugly friend"

"No!" Snape shouted "No! No! NO!"

"Ha ha ha!" The voice laughed "We're going to have so much fun, aren't we Snape?" The voice laughed hysterically

"Curse you Black! Curse you and Potter and his bloody son! CURSE YOU ALL!" Snape screamed, looking the very picture of insane.

That night, Sirius Black, the supposed murderer of thirteen muggles and betrayer of the Potters, laughed himself to sleep.

"Mr Potter" A voice called to Harry as he had just finished eating his breakfast, he and Delphi turned to see a stern Professor McGonagall standing in front of them "come with me" She ordered

"May I ask why?" Harry replied as Shadow flew in from above and landed on his shoulder

"I have heard complaints about you bullying another student, you will come with me so we can get to the bottom of this" McGonagall answered impatiently

"Hmm, a Gryffindor?" Harry asked as he stood up

"Yes" McGonagall nodded

"Fine, I want Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout there then" Harry replied

"Whatever for?" McGonagall looked confused

"Well I can't help but feel that you've already made up your mind as it involves one of your little lions, I am one of Professor Flitwick's Ravens..."

"Eagle" Delphi whispered to herself, not quietly enough

"Raven!" Harry snapped at her before calmly turning to Professor McGonagall "This way we would each have our head of house with us, and I want Professor Sprout as she is a neutral party, not being a Ravenclaw or a Gryffindor"

"That is completely unnecessary" McGonagall objected

"Are you saying you don't trust your fellow Professors to be unbiased?" Harry asked

"Are you saying you don't trust me to be unbiased?" McGonagall countered

"No, I don't" Harry responded "I don't know you outside of class, I have no reason to trust you" Harry answered honestly

"Fine" McGonagall huffed and sent him a withering glare "go and wait in my classroom while I gather the other two professors" She added before stalking off

"What a pleasant woman" Harry said to Shadow before walking off

A few minutes later Harry had entered McGonagall's class, Hermione Granger was standing by the desk, she looked really smug until she realised that McGonagall wasn't there.
