Prologue

The night was dark, and combined with the rain it was hard to see even two feet in front of you. A small woman covered by a cloak and somehow completely dry made her way down the street, eyes set on a little pub with a sign that looked to be on its last leg. She was fifteen seconds from reaching it when the first blast of dark red light shot past her ear, the strength behind it causing her to gasp. She spun around, wand raised and ready to defend herself from whoever was trying to attack her, but no, it was not just herself she needed to protect, she had to defend the little boy that was growing inside her, almost ready to come out. An almost insane cackle, undeniably female sent a shiver down her spine and had her heart ready to beat itself right out of her chest. "That half-blood little bastard will not besmirch the Black name!" She knew right then who was trying to kill her, kill her son. Bellatrix LeStrange, one of the top lieutenants of the Dark Lord, one who was almost on par with her master when it came to torture and knowledge of the dark arts.

"I don't know what my filthy blood traitor cousin was thinking, bedding a half-blood like you, you're not even pretty!" Another jet of light came towards her and she quickly threw up a shield, slowly moving towards the Leaky Cauldron behind her. Unfortunately, the still slightly sane enough to know when someone was trying to escape, Bellatrix, noticed this. A quick gesture with her free hand, the other still holding the wand that was sending spells at the pregnant woman, had two tall and dark figures blocking the woman's way to the pub. Dropping her shield long enough to cast a patronus charm, sending with it the message that she was under attack by three death eaters to the pub, hoping that someone from the order would be inside and come to help. Unfortunately, the time in which she took to do so had a non-verbal spell hitting her chest. The effect of the spell was instantaneous as blood started spilling from her mouth. A cackle, a spell flying past her and hitting a shield the evil woman that was Bellatrix hastily threw up, a hand grabbing her and the feeling of being squeezed through a small tube.

Her vision darkened, narrowed, and then completely left her. The next time she was able to see, she saw mediwizards, completely covered in blood. A sudden pain to her stomach had her fearing the worst, thinking that maybe someone had snuck in and was finishing what LeStrange had started. A sudden cry followed by muffled shouting, muffled because, she realized, there was liquid flowing out of her ears. Her chest hurt, like there were ten people sitting on it. It hurt to breathe and even trying to move, wanting to see her beautiful baby boy, she found she couldn't The light above her was blocked, and when her vision cleared enough, she saw that her love, her Sirius, was standing above her, crying and saying something to her. She couldn't hear it, even as close as he was to her, his voice was nothing but a fuzzy buzz.

She tried to say something, to tell him it was okay, and that she loved him, but the only thing that came out of her mouth was liquid, bright red and flowing like a fountain. A small blanket passed in front of her face, she focused long enough to see the hair, as black as his father's. And eyes such a beautiful shade of blue it made her heart hurt. She smiled, blood flowing from her mouth and closed her eyes, feeling so tired. She heard someone shouting, at least, she thought someone was shouting. Gabriel Sirius Grey-Black, who looked so much like his father, even when his skin was as white as a sheet. Her vision went black again and the buzzing in her ears was getting softer and softer. She could see her son though, in her mind, and that was all that mattered. He had her nose, eyes and ears, but everything else was most definitely his fathers. The cheekbones, the hair, the lips, the chin, everything said that he was Sirius Black's son.

She couldn't wait to get home, to hold her son, while her soon to be husband (Because he was definitely going to marry her now) held her. To see him take his first steps, to hear him say his first word. Mumma if she had anything to say about it. Having another child and watching him be a wonderful big brother to his sibling. Crying on platform nine and three quarters as he turned eleven and headed to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Coming home during winter break one year, when he was older, and bringing with him a girl, or guy, who he was madly in love with. She'd help plan the wedding, fall would be best, maybe in Paris. Not long after the wedding he'd come to her, saying his beloved was pregnant and she was to be a grandmother. Her grandchild would be beautiful, she knew, even if her son married someone who wasn't all that good looking, her grandchild would be beautiful.

The buzzing noise continued to fade, it was almost gone now. There was no more pain in her chest, she was thankful it was gone. She saw herself, almost ghost like, as she held two small babies in her arms, her husband beside her, a beautiful young girl with dark red hair was holding his hand. Her son, and there was no denying it was her son, was sitting across from her, holding a toddler with hair that was such a dark shade of red it looked like it had started to turn black then changed its mind. There was someone sitting next to him, she didn't know who it was, the whole body was blurry. But seeing her son give the person such a happy smile made her heart ache. Yes, life was going to be absolutely perfect, all she had to do was rest, fall asleep and when she woke up, she could go home and be so amazingly happy that absolutely nothing could ruin it. Her eyes slipped closed and she kept the image of her soon to be family in her mind.

She didn't wake up, the mediwizards did everything they could, but they didn't know what the dark curse had been. All they knew was that it caused her to bleed; as if she had more blood in her body then was possible. The baby was named by his father and taken to a room to be monitored. It would be three months later, still in the room, that the loud cheering of mediwizards and patients woke him from his sleep. It would be the day after that, that his father was carted off to Azkaban, for betraying his best friends and killing another friend and twelve muggles. It would be two weeks after that, that a woman with brown hair and dark brown eyes picked him up and took him away from the hospital. And that was how Gabriel Sirius Grey-Black came to live with Andromeda, Ted and Nymphadora Tonks.

A/N: No, it's not an update to my Naruto story (For those of you have me on author alert). This has been in my head a while and I sat down and it just flowed. Good news is, I DO have the next chapter for my Naruto story done, I'm just waiting to hear back from my beta, and the chapter after that is about halfway done, I think. I keep adding to it, so there's no telling really ^^;

I've also been working on my original story, something that I'm hoping to eventually publish. I was actually going to do the whole Nanowrimo thing, but, unfortunately, I didn't have the time to devote to it. Maybe next year, who knows. So! This is totally my first time writing anything dealing with Harry Potter (Though, lord, if I wrote down all my Harry Potter dreams I'd probably double the current amount of Harry Potter fics. And yes, I am being 100% serious). Hope you all enjoy it, I know I enjoyed writing it.
