"Ah, Severus, Miss Rhea, you're here. I was just about to send Fawkes to fetch you," Headmaster Dumbledore said cheerfully.
"Today I sent Peter to the Ministry of Magic for trial, and the Minister sentenced him to life imprisonment in Azkaban. Sirius Black has been acquitted and released, but all these years of torment in Azkaban have left him in poor physical and mental shape, so he has been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for treatment. He is expected to be discharged around Christmas this year. He is very grateful for everyone's help this time, and asked me to express his thanks on his behalf," Headmaster Dumbledore said to Rhea and Severus.
"Hmph, who wants that mangy mutt's thanks? I certainly never intended to rescue him," Severus said with a look of disgust.
