'What if?' Could Change the World

Disclaimer: Yes, I am the master of Harry Potter, the ultimate genius who created it all! Wait, what? I don't? You LIE! Fine, fine, *grumbling* I don't own Harry Potter, JK Rowling owns these unbelievable characters, thanks for ruining my dream! *going off to cry in a corner*

A/N Ahem, anyway...so this is my first ever story on here, and I think I may continue with it but this is a little taste of what could happen. Erm, well, wish me luck in the world of FanFiction, for I'm sure this shall be interesting…*gulp*


Many wonder, after looking back on the life of one, Sirius Black- otherwise known as Stubby Boardman, or Serious Black- that if he was going to be the first to be known for escaping Hell on Earth, why not do it sooner? Why not as soon as he was slammed into that cell wall, feeling the first effects of a dementor clawing its way through his soul, clutching at the memories of home at Number 12 Grimmauld Place? Face it; we all know that was Hell for him before he was rescued into James Potter's open arms.

If Stubby was going to leave it all behind for the only thing worth living for, to watch over his godson, why not the first time his slowly dulling eyes fell upon the decaying rot they have the nerve to call 'food?' Or what about when the all-consuming image of James and Lily's bodies- lying lifeless under the charred remains of their house, their eyes nothing but open orbs, flecked with the light of the stars they would never see again- became too much for a lone man, that he realized Padfoot must take his place?

Why did the world's most wanted man in both worlds- Muggle and Wizard- not just get up and leave when he had the first chance? And if he did, would he escape like he's still famous for, even after being beaten by a curtain, or would he still have enough clear thoughts, not clouded by the dementors never-satisfied starvation for happiness, to call for help inside his box that was always shrinking until 'The Grimm' chased that feeling away?

So many 'what-ifs' that could have been answered if a certain flaming-topped family won a lottery sooner, and if a man who never had any interest in the crossword, had only asked for the paper an earlier day...


A/N So… *bouncing up and down* what did you think? It was terrible wasn't it? Oh, I'm so sorry that your poor little innocent eyes had to witness *waves hand over computer screen* this. Here's a cookie for your troubles *hands over plate of steaming cookies*Anyway, thanks for suffering through that and please leave a review, who knows, I might continue it. I think I will…maybe...Yes…erm…just leave me to my thoughts with myself. I'll be back soon enough with more…most likely…toodles! :)
