A/N: Just something I've been playing around with in my head for a while. The first chapter is already written and should be up very shortly. I just made brownies this morning and I'll give you one if you review :P
The Secret Life of Sirius Orion Black
Prologue:
My name is Sirius Orion Black. I am thirty-two years old, and I am completely devoid of life.
Once it was not so. I had the other Marauders-James, Peter, Remus. I had a wife-no, not a wife, but a woman who I loved dearly. Not my wife, but close enough, and I had a daughter. My daughter.
All gone now, each in their own ways. Some to death's inescapable hold, others into a blacker darkness than even I could imagine, and some withdrawn into their own hearts.
This is not a happy tale. In this story, no one wins and everyone loses everything they have ever held dear to them. Mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, friends…All are lost in the end.
From this cold prison cell in Azkaban, I relay to you the events leading up to this tragedy as they happened to me. In telling this, I do not wish to seek comfort, pity, or help. I merely seek to tell, so that the ones to whom it will mean the most may understand why I've done the things I have, and how it all came to pass.
This is not a happy tale. In this story, no one wins and everyone loses. Trust me when I assure you that you will not live to see the day when the wrongs against the innocent are set right. This is not a happy tale.
My name is Sirius Orion Black, and this is my story.
