Authors Note : I own nothing. JK Rowling owns Harry Potter. This is the revised version.
In the small village of Godric's Hollow Sirius Black arrived on his flying motorcycle, he landed it in front of the house of his best friend James Potter. When he saw the house with its roof collapsed in he hoped off not even bothering to put the kick stand down and ran frantically to the house. Once inside he stopped and stared in horror at James's body that lay lifeless at the bottom of the the stairs. He was in such a state of shock that the only thing that snapped him out of it were the sounds of an infants cries coming from up the stairs.
"Harry?" he thought "He's alive? But how?"
Sirius ran unsteadily up the stairs, it was a miracle his legs didn't collapse under him. When he reached the nursery he saw with to his horror James's wife Lily dead just below her sons crib a blank look on her beautiful face. And above her in his crib was none other then her son Harry in his crib crying heavily. His arms outstretched upon seeing Sirius.
Sirius ran to him, carefully stepping over Lily, and only then did he see the thin lightening shaped gash on his godson's forehead.
"Shh, Shh, Harry" Sirius said as he picked him up, and tried to comfort him. He wanted to say it would be alright, but Sirius himself wouldn't have even believed it "How could Peter do this to Lily and James, to Harry? We trusted him to be the secret keeper, how could he...? Secret Keeper!"
Then it hit him like a tun of bricks, as far as anyone in the wizarding world knew, Sirius had been the Potter's secret keeper. And as far as they would know, he was the one who had betrayed them to Voldemort. If he was caught he would undoubtedly be put in Azkaban for the rest of his life. And Harry would probably be sent to live with Lily's sister, Petunia was it? But Sirius was his godfather. It was his job now to take care of Harry and raise him as best he could. He needed to think about what his next move would be, but he couldn't do it here, someone from the ministry or the Order was undoubtedly on its way, he needed to go. And without a second thought he headed out the door, with Harry would was now wrapped in a blanket, and went outside onto his motorcycle, as he was about to take off he saw the large form of Rubeus Hagrid approaching the house. He heard Hagrid call out to him, as the bike took off into the air.
Meanwhile, Remus Lupin, upon hearing the news of his best friends death, hoped onto the night bus and made his way to the meeting house where some members of the Order of the Phoenix where meeting. When he arrived, he found that among them were, Professor Albus Dumbledore, his friend Peter Pettigrew, Professor Minerva McGonagal who was doing her best to comfort a sobbing Maria Vice, Sirius Black's fiancee.
When Maria looked up Remus could see the heartbroken look on her lovely face, which was now stained with tears. She got up from her chair and ran to Remus, throwing her arms around him.
"HOW COULD HE DO THIS?" She managed to say in between sobs.
"I don't know" said Remus holding her and trying his best to comfort her. Upon hearing the news of Sirius's betrayed, he himself had been too shocked and too numb to cry.
"What have you heard" asked Dumbledore.
"That Lily and James are dead because of Sirius, but Harry somehow survived." Remus answered. "Is it true?"
"Yes, it would seem Sirius was deceiving us the whole time." said Dumbledore gravelly.
"And Harry?"
"He survived, I have sent Hagrid to retrieve him, I will meet with him tomorrow night when things have settled a bit."
But as if he had spoken the words too soon Hagrid himself appeared in the fireplace, and stepped out without Harry.
"Hagrid"? asked Dumbledore, confused. "Why are you here where is Harry?"
"I know, I know." Said Hagrid " I tell you wot, I get to the house thinking I might be too late, when I look over and see Sirius Black taking off on his flyin' motor bike."
"Sirius, was there." asked Remus sounding tense.
"I called out to him, and I'm sure he saw me but he just took off. Checked the house Harry wasn't in it, bet me last galleon he's with Sirius righ' now."
Everyone in the room went quite as they had lost their ability to speak. McGonagal had lost what was left of the color in her face.
"Professor? Wot is it?" asked Hagrid confused.
"Sirius has him?" Remus said almost mechanically
Maria collapsed into a chair unable to stand anymore.
"Hagrid" said Proffesor McGonagal her voice shaky "Sirius Black was the Potter's secret keeper. He's the one who betrayed them to You-know-who."
The color drained from Hagrid's face.
"Sirius has Harry." Remus said shakily.
"Professor I'm sorry" cried Hagrid, "If only I'd gotten there sooner. "
"It's not your fault Hagrid." Dumbledore assured him. "Most of the auror department will be too busy celebrating, but I will get together as many as I can. It may not be too late for Harry."
"It doesn't matter." said Maria who had gotten over her crying, and who's face now held a look of malice." Sirius is a master of cloaking spells, he'll be in hiding by the time the time we get organized. Even if we get one-hundred auror's we won't find him...or Harry."
She took a deep breath and spoke again.
"But even if it is too late for Harry. We'll find Sirius, cloaking spell or not. Agreed?"
"Agreed." said Remus.
Remus knew she was right. What Sirius did was unforgivable, Lily and James would get justice no matter how long it took."
AN: Well there it's my revised draft. Pretty much the same but a bit longer and the grammar is better. I'll be sure to get the rest of the chapter's up as soon as I can. Check out some of my other stories.
PLEASE REVIEW. I'm expecting lots of them.
