    "Peter Enid Pettigrew..." Pettigrew''s words lingered in the air as everyone seemed to ponder the implications. Rigel looked at Amelia. She was staring at Pettigrew with a blank look on her face. He knew he could take advantage of this situation a little, but he controlled himself and instead leaned into her ears and whispered.

    "...Calm down, please. I need your help to make sure Uncle Sirius can regain his freedom." Rigel nudged her.

    Her eyes blankly turned to him, and after staring at his face for a moment, she nodded and regained her balance. Rigel let go of her waist. The feeling of grabbing onto her plump flesh lingered as Rigel focused back onto the room.

    ''Now let''s deal with the Minister...'' Rigel thought as he turned to Fudge, who was frowning.

    "What do you think, Minister Fudge? Don''t you think that the last Minister before you made a mess of things? Not only did he allow the Dark Lord to ravage our country, but he also threw an innocent person, an heir to a Most Ancient and Most Noble house, into Azkaban. Surely the current government would step up and right those wrongs, ensuring our country''s citizens have faith in its justice system?" Rigel asked with a smile on his face.

    ...

    As Fudge got ready to leave, so did Amelia. As the head of the DMLE, it was her job to ensure nothing happened to Fudge. Lucius and Narcissa swiftly followed behind the minister, and Lucius whispered something into Narcissa''s ear when they left.

    Rigel turned back to look at a bound Pettigrew, who was now looking around the room. He was trembling as he looked in between Dumbledore and Severus.

    "I think I should leave too. I''m sure Headmaster Dumbledore would be able to handle this matter." Rigel smiled as he looked at Dumbledore. He had noticed that from the time Pettigrew had confessed his sins, Dumbledore had been looking at him.

    "How did you know Pettigrew was hiding as a rat?" Dumbledore asked. Normally, the headmaster was a master of hiding his intent, but right now, he was being entirely blunt.

    Rigel was a little taken aback before he replied, "I read about some things from a book that my Father left me. The thought that Sirius could betray the Potters was a notion that was foreign to him. I had to get to the bottom of what happened that night, and once I found out that something like this was possible, I had to clear the name of my only living relative."

    The story was a stretch from the truth, and Dumbledore could tell that Rigel was hiding many things. His disadvantage was that Rigel''s mind was safe, and he couldn''t act more blatantly than asking him for the truth.

    "Can I go, Headmaster?" Rigel motioned to the door, and Dumbledore absentmindedly nodded. He could feel Dumbledore''s eyes as he left the room and walked back to his room. The plan had gone great, and now he had a safety blanket named Sirius to safeguard him from Dumbledore, Lucius, and the Ministry itself.

    The trek back to his room was peaceful. When he opened the door, he was met with a pair of grey eyes tracking his move. A hint of steel was in her eyes as she stepped forward and spoke, "Can we talk?"
