Chapter One

Harry was alone and crying. He couldn't sleep. All he knew was that there was a bright green light and then his head really started to hurt. He cried and his mother and father never came. It always seemed to Harry that they wanted him. So why weren't they coming? It was Halloween of 1981.

Not to long was he crying, when a huge man came up to the half destroyed house and started moving some of the ruble. Harry cried and then stopped once he knew someone was there. He whimpered a bit and the huge half-giant, named Hagrid, turned around and looked for the source of the sound. It truly didn't take very long until Harry was safe in Hagrid's arms. The giant was so warm and comfortable that Harry feel asleep at an instant. Hagrid looked at the child sadly for a moment then looked to where his parents' broken bodies lay. Hagrid had known the Potters for years and it was too much to handle. He broke down and cried. He noticed that he had disturbed poor little Harry and sobered up instantly. Just then a man on a flying motorcycle came and landed right next to Hagrid. His name was Sirius Black.

Black looked at the house and scanned the area until he found the two bodies of his best friends, Lily and James Potter. It was unbelievable. How could this have happened? He thought, I'll kill Pettigrew for this. Sirius had lost his best friends and started crying. He fell to his knees and looked at the house in despair.

"James, Lily…even Harry….why did he take them from me? How could he?! How could he just kill a newly-wed couple and their year old child?!" Sirius said in a small defeated voice.

Hagrid turned to heart-broken man and said, "Sirius, Harry is still alive. Here he is." He turned further and Sirius saw the lump of blankets and started in disbelief. "Its not possible…but he is alive!" Sirius jumped up and took Harry from Hagrid.

Sirius felt as though the world had ended….and then a new life began in the form of Harry Potter. He held his godson close and rocked him back and forth.

"Its ok little Green Eyes…everything will be better, you'll see," Sirius whispered to his beloved godson. Hearing that, Hagrid felt terrible, because he knew that Dumbledore wanted Harry to live with his Aunt and Uncle. He said that if anything were to happen to the Potters and Harry somehow lived, he should live in a world away from magic so could be normal for a few years.

"Sirius." Sirius looked up.

"Yes?"

"I know ya will 'ate me fur this but Dumbledore wants 'im to live with 'is Aunt and Uncle."

Sirius looked at him in shock. Hagrid took this opportunity to take young Harry out of Sirius' arms.

"Hagrid please, I'm begging you! Don't take my godson away from me. Please," Sirius pleaded. His eyes held a look of desperation and love. He needed his godson. He needed to make sure that he would always be alright. Sirius needed Harry so he could have a reason to live.

"I'm sorry, but 'hats what Dumbledore said. I can't give 'im to ya. I'm sorry."

They went on like this for a good 20 minutes and then Sirius finally said, "If that's what will keep him safe…then ok…but take my bike. At least I'll know that you got him there quickly and easily."

And with that Sirius handed over his motorcycle and with a look of longing in his eyes he turned back to Harry. He couldn't believe it. First, his world comes crashing down because James and Lily were murdered. Then it gets better because he thought he would get to keep Harry. Then Hagrid is going to take him away to the Dursleys. It was all too much. With tears in his eyes, he kissed Harry on the forehead and turned to leave. Hagrid watched silently as he left. Sirius turned quickly and said, "Hagrid, promise me you'll protect him with your life until you get there."

Hagrid could only nod in response. There was so much emotion in Sirius' eyes and voice as he said this. He couldn't do this to Sirius. But Dumbledore ordered it. It broke his heart but he turned and got on the motorcycle and took off.

Sirius Black watched as his beloved godson and Hagrid left without a word. He turned and went to find that rat, Peter Pettigrew.
