As soon he heard about Wormtail, he immediately notified his friend.
James-
Wormtail betrayed us.
Voldemort will come tonight.
.Bring Lily and Harry, along with anything of importance.
I will meet you in the Shrieking Shack.
-Sirius
Sirius waited for his childhood friend in the Shrieking Shack for hours, but never realized he wasn't coming, until it was too late.
James never received the owl.
He glanced at the small twins in Hagrid's large arms. Looking closely, he saw a tiny piece of parchment hidden in the folds of the scorched blanket.
Sirius
By the time you see this,
I will most likely be dead
I have one final request.
I want to you protect Harry for me-
And send Jacob to Dumbledore.
He will know what to do.
I left you part of my money to you in Gringotts.
My sons have the rest.
You were my best friend throughout my life
We did everything together.
I hope that you
I will miss you.
Your friend,
James
The swirling portal shimmered before the two. Dumbledore stood in front of it. Sirius looked at Jacob ruefully and turned to the old man.
"Are you sure?"
Dumbledore sighed. "I am quite sure, it's for the best."
The family on the other side accepted the baby, and the portal silently disappeared.
