I know this must be troubling news for you, my boy, and I hate to bring back bad memories. However, there is a chance, in light of this new information, that Sirius Black is indeed innocent of the crimes he has been accused of. As you are his—and Mr. Pettigrew’s—closest living friend, I felt it important to reach out to you and implore you return to England to assist in the trial. Should either Black or Pettigrew be declared innocent, they will need you to assist them in getting back on their feet and re-joining society.
