Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
This my first time using fanfiction so I hope the story is good, or in the very least I hope the idea is good.
It was a dark silent night on the Halloween of 1981. The moonlight illuminated the smoldering remains of the little cottage called Godric's Hollow. All was quiet as if in reverence for the heinous act committed on the grounds. The house stood smoking and crumbling in the aftermath of the magical backlash of one terrible curse. An ominous creaking sounded as if the house was tilting and finally the tiny abused house collapsed on itself in a heap of charred remains. Debris were scattered across the grounds. It seemed as if no one survived the slaughter of the once happy family.
A loud cracking sound was heard near the burnt remains and a dark figure suddenly appeared. And anguished cry of horror sounded across the night as the figure fell to his knees in front of the remains of the house.
Sirius Black had arrived at the scene after the deed was done. He was a good friend to the Potters; in fact he was one of James' best friends from their old school days. He was also godfather to little Harry as his other best friend, Remus, was godfather to little Rosy. He was also one of magical Britain's top Aurors, so when he felt the emergency signal from the Potters he rushed over hoping he wasn't too late. Unfortunately he was and now he knelt in front of the ruins of the house that belonged to those he considered family.
Sirius stayed kneeling like that for several long moments in a numb haze. He kept thinking about all the happy times he had spent with the Potters and his best friends. He thought about their school days as the Marauders: Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs. They had such good times pranking the school in particular the Slytherins, who they had an ongoing prank war with. He thought in despair of how he would tell Moony and Shady and…Wormtail.
He narrowed his eyes and stood. This was Wormtail's fault; he's the only one who could have told… where the Potters were hiding. Wormtail was their secret keeper, he was the traitor and he was going to pay for what he's done.
Sirius turned to leave and go after Wormtail when he heard something. He listened for a moment letting his sharper canine senses out. Then he heard it again.
There. Wait was that a cry.
He hurried forward toward where he heard the noise near the back of the house. Sirius heard the noise again and by now he was convinced it was a child's cry. Maybe, he thought, at least one of his godchildren lived. He rounded the still standing staircase and leapt over the debris and with tears in his eyes he lifted a piece of plaster and gazed down at a pair of twin emerald green eyes.
He felt relief and happiness wash over him as he gazed down at the clearly living twins. His godchildren, both of them, were alive. He smiled and knelt down as the twins stopped their crying.
"Oh my little Prongslet and Fawn let's get you two out of here hmm?" he whispered to the babies gathering the little boy and girl into his arms.
He frowned though when he saw a jagged cut above little Harry's right eye and below little Rosy's left eye. "Well is that why you two were crying?" He asked the still sniffling babes as he carried them out of the ruins and laid them both down on the front lawn.
He sat on the ground with them, then pulled out his wand and healed the two cuts till they were nothing more than scars. "There now that feels better doesn't it" he smiled down at them as his little Fawn pulled Prongslet into a hug and promptly fell asleep. Bright green eyes stared up at him a moment before Harry too fell into a blissful sleep.
He smiled and was about to pick up the two slumbering babes when he heard someone chuckling behind him. He whirled around wand pointed at the stranger, well two strangers.
"Peace Lord Black we mean neither you nor the twins any harm," the stranger said out his hands in a gesture for peace. Sirius remained tense until the two unknowns stepped into the moonlight.
Two men were revealed one with golden hair and violet eyes and the other with dark red hair and green eyes that reminded him of Lily and the twins.
Sirius relaxed completely as he recognized the red haired man, or rather vampire. He thought quickly and made a decision and carefully scooped the twins into his arms so as not to wake them. He then turned and addressed the red haired vampire, "Lord Dominus it is a pleasure to meet you again I only wish it was under better circumstances."
"Indeed Lord Black I wish they were better as well, you should know though that your choice tonight will affect your future greatly," Dominus replied solemnly as he held out his arms to take the twins.
"How did you— Oh right," he remembered that Dominus could read a person's thoughts. "I understand what the consequences may be, but the rat must pay for his betrayal," Sirius growled as he handed the twins to their great uncle.
Violet eyes glared at Sirius for showing disrespect for his lord. Dominus glanced at his vassal while rocking the twins in his arms.
"Be calm Aurorus his grief is great and as he a youngling still his emotions have a great deal of control over him," He whispered so only the other vampire heard. Then he addressed Sirius, "As you wish Lord Black but know that I will not be able to help you until later."
Sirius nodded and said, "Just tell Remus the truth, he needs to know what really happened and that I'm sorry I messed up so badly." And with that said he kissed the twins on their foreheads and swirled around to disappear with a crack.
"That mutt is going to get himself killed, or worse imprisoned!" growled Aurorus glaring at the spot the wizard disappeared from.
Dominus chuckled and said, "My dear Aurorus, you must set your priorities straight, Lord Black will be fine if he is imprisoned we will simply break him out," he paused a moment and smiled down at the twins, "after he has learnt his lesson of course. Isn't that right little ones?" Neither vampire was surprised when two sets of emerald eyes stared up at Dominus knowingly.
"If you say so my lord; shall we take the little ones home now?" sighed Aurorus as they started walking back towards the shadows.
"Yes, Aurorus we shall," the two vampires were almost to the shadows when Dominus stopped abruptly.
"My Lord?" Aurorus asked tensing to defend his clan head and clan heirs.
"Before I forget Aurorus I need you to go pick up the things that little Harry and Rose will need, very good I will see you back at the villa later," Dominus didn't even pause to let Aurorus speak before walking off leaving a stunned vampire behind with the two babies.
"What?" Aurorus got out as Dominus disappeared in the shadows. He stared down at the babies in his arms and then he smelt it.
"My lord wait! I don't know how to change diapers!! I'm a warrior not a babysitter!! My lord!?!! DOMINUS!?!!!" shouted an outraged vampire going after his lord and disappearing into the shadows as well.
They left behind Godric's Hollow to crumble to the ground. All was silent once more until another unsuspecting visitor came along to relay the news that the Potters were dead as well as Lord Voldemort.
This is my first story so good? Bad? Let me know by reviewing. I'm also doing this to help my writing so any hints would be welcome. Oh and Shady is not an OC he's a character from the books I just gave him a Marauder nickname.
