The fourth memory was from Harry, and showed his meeting with Black the previous June, up to and including Fudge's refusal to believe them, and ordering Sirius to be Kissed immediately. There was a general outcry in the chamber, as some began calling for a trial, others tried to claim it was fabricated, and still others wanted to know why Amelia had these memories.
