Chapter one: A Young Prince is found

Now our story of young Harry Potter is one of darkness, abuse, and hardship; both for himself and the wizarding world. Lord Voldemort was just believed to be killed that faithful Halloween night at Godric's Hollow, the thin veil allowing a life to be saved. Little baby Harry was given to his Aunt and Uncle Dursleys to be raised as far from the fame from that night as possible. Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black, was imprisoned for the death of twelve muggles and the betrayal of James and Lily Potter. Remus Lupin ran to Eastern Europe to wallow in the grief of his lost friends and in away family. The last of the group of friends that seemed to be drawn into this lot of luck was Peter Pettigrew, having seeing the mayhem that was being wrecked that night went into hiding and left unknown to the wizarding world.

Six Years Later

An old scruffy looking black dog was found wondering the upper levels of Azkanban, signs of starvation and sickness clung to the dog as the first of the wizarding guards noticed him. The guards wondered how such a dog would arrive on the isolated island of depression and come with two options for how it arrived. One option was the dog arrived by accidental magic from the kid of one the Death Eater imprisoned there or one of the prisoners was an Animagus. The guards had the Dementors, guards of the lower and higher security levels, check the cells for missing prisoners.

Time passed and soon the scruffy dog had made friends with the stationed guards, the once deathly looking dog was health and seemed full spirit. Four months came and went when Madam Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law, deemed that dog was not a prisoner and was to be set free. A spot was chosen and the dog was left near Norbury Park outside of Greater London.

Surrey, England on Halloween

It was six years since Harry was left at the doorstop of the Dursley's and this Halloween is just the beginning of the story.

Siri did normally leave the cupboard underneath the stairs Halloween was one of the rare holidays he was let out. Dudley want as much candy as possible so Aunt Petunia dressed Harry in an old sheet she was going to toss away anyways. He glared around as they went house to house trick-or-treating, knowing that he would not get any candy that he and Dudley receive that day. The three of them rounded the corner of the last street in the borough when the bushes at the edge of the forest on the left the street rustled. Harry looked over as Aunt petunia told Dudley and him to keep away from the forest. A dog about the size of a small horse came in to view, fur black like night and shaggy like 70s carpet. Both Dudley and Aunt Petunia did not seem to notice the dog cross the street, Harry however froze and watched as the dog playfully came up to him.

"hello there, are you lost?" Harry shyly asked the dog.

The dog almost smiled at Harry and began wagging its tail. He looked up to check to see where his aunt and Dudley were, they had not noticed him falling behind yet. Looking at the dog he smiled, he began telling the dog about his life as he ran his hands through the thick fur. As Dudley finished the few houses on the street and Harry enjoying the company of the dog just waited.

" you know, I think they used to love me like they do my cousin Dudley, but once I start making things happen that I couldn't explain they change. I don't know why am telling you, maybe it's because you can't tell anyone else or maybe it's because you understand what it's like." Harry explain softly to the dog thinking about how his and uncle treat him.

Harry jumped up standing as Aunt Petunia screeched "Boy, why are you talking to that mangy old dog?", both Dudley and her coming up upon them both.

Before he could answer the dog growled grabbing Dudley's bag of candy, running into the forest. His Aunt screamed at him to run after the dog and get the bagged candy. The dog was already deep in the forest by time Harry had dropped his own bag of Candy and began running into the forest. Harry looked and went deeper and deeper into the forest the setting sun was a glowing soft orange. Dull smoky orange encompass the forest when Harry found the dog sitting waiting for him. Cautiously Harry inched closer to the bag keeping an eye on the thief before picking it up and looking inside to check. While Harry looked into the bag, where the dog once that now stood a dirty dark scruffy looking man.

" Harry, oh Harry" the unknown man exclaimed excitedly.

Harry froze looking up from the bag, only to stare at the man wondering where the dog had gone. It's seemed to him that the man knew who he was somehow. Maybe he knew Harry's drunk parents, possible friends with them.

'If he was friends with my parents maybe he can take me from my aunt and uncle.' Harry though as he watched the straggly look seemingly to himself, his dirty worn robe swishing around him as he paced. He was pulled from his thoughts as the man pulled him into a hug.

"You can live with me, I know Lily's sister isn't the best person to raise a child like you" the man explained happily as he puts Harry down from the hug.

"Um, sir while it seems you know of me and my parents, I do not know you at all. My aunt never mentioned my parents having any friends" Harry shyly explained to him, twisting his feet into the ground.

The man looked at Harry as if he grew a second head before smiling sadly. "I'm Sirius Black, your godfather. I was best friends with your father in school and his partner at work."

Sadness and angry filled Harry, this man could have stopped his father maybe. "If you were his friend why didn't you stop him from drinking after I was born. Where you there when he craved this," pointing to his lighting shape scar on his forehead, " on me or drove home drunk with my mother"

Tears that had been welling up in his eyes now following as he tries to figure out why his parents were as his aunt said and why this so called best friend did nothing. The man, Sirius just stood there thinking about how to answer as he noticed the sun was just about gone.

"Your aunt lied, I don't have much time to tell you about what happened now but I can promise if you let me take you home with me I will tell you everything about your parents and magic. If my family is still alive they will help to." Sirius begins explaining as he rubs his beard.

Harry nods knowing the unknown with Sirius was better than his life with the Dursley's "I can't just run away the school will know even if they don't care."

"Don't worry I have a plan just let me follow you to their house and I'll take it from there." Sirius smiles.
