The Saturday morning before Halloween, Harry and Hermione sat down at breakfast, and Harry was amused at how his friend was practically bouncing in her seat from excitement. "I think I've found your father's friend, Harry! I did a lot of checking in the library while you were busy with the bigot, and your father was close friends with 3 other boys, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. Remus is still alive, and he's living in Hogsmeade, so we could send him a note with Hedwig, maybe he'll be willing to meet you." Hermione paused then, "I also found out something about Sirius and Peter. I'm not sure how you are going to take this, so, I'll just tell you what information is available. It seems that Sirius Black is in Azkaban Prison, sentenced for murdering Peter Pettigrew and 12 muggles on a street corner. They still aren't sure exactly what curse he used, but it must have been extremely powerful, it completely destroyed Peter's body, the only part of him they found was one of his fingers. It is believed that Sirius was something called a "Secret Keeper" for your parents, and it's also believed he betrayed them to Voldemort."
