AN: Hello. So this story is Sirius saves Harry story except he also saves the Longbottoms. A few days after the Potter's death Sirius and the Longbottoms move to France.

'Thoughts'
Chapter 1
And so It begins
31st October 1981
Marauder's Den, Diagon Alley
5 pm
Sirius groaned as he collapsed onto his couch. Another order meeting. Another meeting listening to Albus Bloody Dumbledore tell them they needed to stun and disarm Death eaters instead of kill or wound. 'How the hell are we going to win this war if we don't fight back?' Sirius wondered as he looked at the clock. He wished he could go see James and Lily. And of course Little Harry. Just thinking of Harry made Sirius smile. The kid was like a ray of light in the dark of night. 'He also has a prophecy hanging over his head.' Sirius thought with a frown. His last thought as he drifted off to sleep was of His brother and his little family and he prayed to Merlin the three of them made it out alive.
Marauder's Den, Diagon Alley
7 pm
YEEOOOOOWWW. YEEOOOOOWWW. Sirius jerked awake and looked around in confusion. YEEOOOOOWWW. YEEOOOOOWWW. 'The Alarm?' Sirius thought in confusion before he paled in realization. 'The alarm. It was only supposed to go off if Peter betrayed James. You son of a bitch.' Sirius thought as he grabbed his jacket of the back of the couch. He jumped as a doe appeared in his living room. Lily's voice rang out: "Sirius….Don't come to the cottage. Convince Mad-Eye of your innocence and Promise me you will take care of Harry. Don't let Albus put him with my Sister. If you can't convince Moody Send my Will to Alice and Frank. On second hand make a copy and send it to Severus just in case. We love you Sirius. Make sure you raise Harry like he's your own. Now go. Lily take harry and go." Sirius let out a choked sob at the sound of James' voice as the Protronus faded away.
"I Solemnly Swear to raise his as my own Lily. He will grow up loved and he will know of his parent's bravery and how they loved him. I swear it." Sirius whispered and he grabbed lily's will and made a copy. 'Time to convince Mad-Eye.' Sirius thought as he appartated out of his apartment.
Mad-Eye Moody's House, Location Unknown
7:30 pm
"Mad-Eye! You paranoid bastard, get your ass out here!" Sirius shouted at the house.
"What do you want you lily-livered traitor?" Mad-Eye shouted back sending an Expelliarmus at Sirius.
"Protego! To prove I didn't betray them!" Sirius shouted, smiling slightly at the fact that Moody was sending harmless hexes at him..
"Reducto! Why should I believe you?" Mad-eye shot back.
"Look out the window and I'll Swear an oath that I didn't do it." Sirius said dodging the Reducto. Ok so maybe the hexes weren't so harmless.
"Prove It." Mad-Eye called. Seeing Mad-Eye standing in the window with his wand at the ready, Sirius relaxed slightly and moved where Moody could see him.
"I, Sirius Orion Black, Here so swear on my life and my magic that I did not betray my brother in all but blood James Issac Potter nor his wife Lily Marie Potter nee Evans to the man known as Voldemort." Sirius called as a brilliant, gold light appeared around him.
"Well, you're still standing Black. Now prove you still have magic." Mad-Eye called watching him.
"Lumos." Sirius said, grinning when the tip of his wand lit up like a beacon and Mad-Eye began to limp toward him. "Nox" Sirius said as Mad-Eye reached him.
"Well this is something Black. What Now?" Mad-Eye asked watching Sirius.
"I'm Going to the Potter's and get Harry. You'll back me at the ministry?" Sirius asked as he zipped up his jacket.
"I'll meet you there in two hours." Mad-Eye said with a nod as he appartated away.
Potter Cottage, Godric's Hollow
8 pm
"Hagrid?" Sirius asked in surprise.
"Sirius." Hagrid said as he made his way towards the house.
"Hagrid wait. Let me do it." Sirius said catching up with him.
"Ehh?" Hagrid asked looking at Sirius. Sirius didn't answer as they walked into what was left of Godric's Hollow.
"James. Oh Prongs. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Sirius sobbed as he dropped to his knees next to James Potter's body. Hagrid sniffled as he watched Sirius close James' eyes. A sudden wail brought them back.
"What was that?" Hagrid asked looking around.
"Harry!" Sirius called out as he began to make his way up stairs. The crying got louder as he moved toward the nursery. Tears filled his eyes as he came across Lily's body. Looking around Sirius saw a crumbled cloak and a wand that wasn't Lily's. Wiping away the tears he knelt down and gently lifted Lily up.
"Sirius?" Hagrid called.
"Hang on, Harry. I'm so sorry Lily. I promise you that I will take care of him." Sirius whispered as he carried her down the stairs. Hagrid let out a shaky sob as Sirius laid Lily next to James.
"Where's 'arry?" Hagrid asked sadly.
"Upstairs." Sirius said as he straightened and went back upstairs. With a sad sigh Sirius picked Harry up and carried him down stairs.
"Give 'im 'ere Sirius." Hagrid said reaching for Harry.
"What? Why?" Sirius asked stepping back slightly.
"Dumbledore said 'e 'ad to be kept safe. Said 'e 'ad to go to his Aunt an Uncle." Hagrid said looking at Sirius in confusion.
"I agree with the first part, but not the second part. Lily's sister hates magic. Besides I'm his godfather. But I do need to take him to the Ministry." Sirius said looking down at Harry, who was now asleep.
"Sirius…" Hagrid said looking at him.
"Hagrid. Take my bike. Go to Dumbledore and tell him I'll be at the Ministry." Sirius said as he passed the keys to Hagrid.
Ministry Of Magic, London
8:30 pm
"You're early Black." Mad-eye said as he eyed the small bundle in Sirius' arms.
"I just want to get this over with." Sirius said with a sigh as the two of them headed to Bangold's Office.
"Hold it right there Black." a voice called out. Sirius groaned as he turned around and saw Barty Crouch Sr.
"Bugger off Crouch." Sirius snapped before turning around and heading into the Minister's office.
"Black!" Crouch shouted.
"Barty if you wake that little boy in that is sleeping in Black's Arms I will hex you into next week. Now Bugger off." Mad-Eye growled stepping toward Crouch. Satisfied that Crouch wouldn't attack Sirius Mad-Eye followed Sirius into the Office.
"Auror Moody! Arrest this man for the murder of the Potter's and Kidnapping the Potter Boy!" Minister Bangold ordered, nodding to Crouch who looked delighted.
"I must say Minister. I find it hard to understand how you got elected because you are rather stupid. If I had truly Betrayed James and Lily and kidnapped Harry I would not waltz into The Ministry with the best Auror on my side and walk into the Minister's office. I would simply just leave. However I didn't do that. If you want you can give me truth serum." Sirius said with a shrug. With a nod Moody pulled some out of his pocket.
"How do we know that Mad-eye hasn't been confunded by you Black?" Crouch snapped glaring at him.
"I take that as a compliment." Sirius said looking amused.
"Crouch! I oughta make you go through training again for even suggesting I would allow myself to be jumped!" Moody growled at the man.
"Give him the potion Alastor." Bangold said glaring at Barty.
"What's your name?" Moody asked.
"Sirius Orion Black the 3rd." Sirius Responded in a monotone voice.
"When were you born?"
"November 3rd 1959"
"Were you the Potter's Secret Keeper?"
"No."
"Who was?"
"Peter Pettigrew."
"Who knew this?"
"James and Lily Potter. Peter Petigrew. Myself."
"No one else?"
"No one."
"Do you have the Mark?" Crouch asked looking smug.
"No."
"Do you serve He Who Must Not Be Named?" Bangold asked watching Sirius.
"No. Never."
"Give him the antidote." Bangold said nodding.
"But Minister!" Crouch cried.
"Not Buts Barty. Sirius Black you are cleared of any charges that have been put against you and I shall announce the truth. It may be tomorrow before it gets out." Minister Bangold said.
"Thank you Minister." Sirius said readjusting Harry in his arms.
"Take care of him Black." She called as Sirius started out the door.
"Of Course." Sirius said as he turned and made his way down to the auditorium.
Ministry Of Magic Auditorium, London
9 pm
"Sirius?" Albus called as he swept toward Sirius.
"Albus. I've already been cleared and I am taking Harry. You can't stop me." Sirius said tightening his grip on the baby in his arms.
"Sirius. Please. Harry needs to be raised away from magic. Until he is ready." Albus said stepping closer.
"Your plan is to put him with the Dursleys. I will not allow that to happen Albus. Nor Will Lily, as I have her Will.' Sirius snapped. 'Hello Minerva." he said his eyes softening.
"Is it true Sirius?" Minerva asked looking at the tiny child Sirius was holding.
"Yes." Sirius said, his voice thick with emotion.
"Sirius. He needs to be raised by Petunia." Albus said moving closer.
"Like hell he does.' Sirius snapped glaring at him. 'I'll write you as much as I can Minerva. But you will not be able to track us through those letters Albus." Sirius said before apparating away.
Longbottom Keep, England
10 pm
"James, Lily. I promise you that I will raise him right. He will know love and he will know laughter. But most of all he will survive this. I swear to you." Sirius whispered as he held Harry against his chest. 'Now what? Harry needs to be checked over. St. Mungo's? Alice! I'll take him to Alice.' Sirius thought with a smile. With a soft pop Sirius appeared in front a set of gates. Just as he was about to send a patronus several pops sound behind him.
"Hello cousin." Bella cackled madly.
"He has the child." Rodolphus stated staring at the bundle in his arms. Sirius grimaced and thanked Merlin that James had insisted the order be able to send a patronus silently. Several seconds later twenty or so order members appeared in front of him.
"No!" Screamed Bella, throwing crucios. Rabastan grabbed Bella and appartated away followed by the other two.
"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU BRING HIM HERE. YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND YOU ARE NOT FIT TO RAISE HIM!" Molly screamed at Sirius only to be silenced.
"First, if you don't stop shouting you'll wake him. Second, you don't know anything about me. And third, I brought him here so that Alice could give him a check up. I had no idea that those four would show up. Now if you'll excuse me I need to see Alice." Sirius said before walking through the gates which slammed shut and locked behind him.
"It's good to see you Sirius." Frank said as they walked toward the house.
"Likewise Frank." Sirius said as the stepped into the house.
