Hell. That's what a five-year-old Harry James Potter and Sirius Orion Black called their lives. Sirius's life was not like this when he was in school. However, things changed when he got out of it. All was going well until he was betrayed. Now he sat in a prison cell. In the worse prison, you can think of. Did I mention he's innocent? Harry's life was always like this. Harry lived with his aunt and uncle and his stupid cousin. Harry had no parents. He thinks that they died in a car crash, but they did not. Harry, however, believed this. He believes that that is how he got his lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Then there was Remus John Lupin. His life, just like Harry's has been Hell. You see Remus is a werewolf. He has been one since he was only five years old. However, like Sirius, his school life was great, the best years of his life actually. However, like Sirius, everything went downhill after school as it does for many. His friends are dead and one of them a traitor.
The day started out normal for Harry, with Harry waiting for his uncle to get him out of his cupboard that he slept in. "Boy get up now!" Harry's uncle yelled right on cue. The five-year-old opened his eyes and blinked. Harry then waited for the small door to be unlocked. When it did, Harry got out of bed and out of the small room to make breakfast. He wished that he could have some, but he could not. "Bring me, my coffee boy?" His uncle sneered.
"Coming sir," Harry said even though he was not supposed to speak to him.
"What did you say to me? Did you speak to me boy?" Harry tensed as his eyes grew wide. Then he ran for it. He tried to find a place to hide but he could not find one. Harry knew this will led to his uncle to beat him. Harry closed his eyes as his uncle picked him up and though him on the ground and yelled right in Harry's ears. Harry hated this part and he wished that he lived somewhere else. The small boy blacked out when his uncle started to kick him and he kicked him hard.
Meanwhile in a cold dark cell in Azkaban prison laid a sleeping innocent Sirius Black. However, he was not really sleeping. He was simply resting his eyes. This was hard because every time he closed his eyes, he saw his childhood, his terrible childhood with his 'loving family'. "I'm innocent," he muttered to himself in a ruff voice from not using it.
"Yes, you are," a guard outside his cell said. Sirius laughed, however, the door opened. This made Sirius open his eyes and look at the guard who just walked into the room smiling a little but Sirius could see the guilty look on his face but he was hiding it with a stern look in his eyes
"What?" Sirius asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Come with me Black," he said as he walked over to Sirius who stood up confused. Then he grabbed Sirius's arm making Sirius yell as the guard pulled him out of the cell and bounded his hands behind his back.
'This is it. I'm sorry Prongs. I failed you. Moony, oh Moony. You will never know the truth.' Sirius thought as the guard pulled him along. 'Stop whining Black. You're a Gryffindor face it.' Sirius told himself. However, he was forced into a room with the minster looking rather guilty. 'What's going on?' Sirius wanted to ask but he kept his mouth shut.
"Hello Black," he paused as Sirius was forced into a chair. "Events have come into light. It turns out Peter was found running in the backyard of a wizard home, and, and, and you are free to walk out of these doors. I hope I don't see you here again," with that Sirius's hands were free. Sirius looked at him with tears forming in his eyes but he was still confused but yet happy at the same time.
"What? Really?" Sirius had tears in his eyes as the guard pulled him to his feet.
"Oh, and Lupin is outside waiting for you," he added before Sirius left the room with a whole lot of tears falling down his face and a weight lifted off his shoulders
Screams. That's all you can hear inside Harry's home. It wasn't even his home, he just lived there like a slave. The window was open when Harry's uncle was beating him. However, no one knew it was open. Harry opened had it with magic. You see, like his parents Harry has magic. "That's what you get freak!" his uncle roared so the whole neighborhood could hear however a cop was walking by and heard this.
'What was that?' He thought as he came up to the home with an eyebrow raised.
"Did I hurt your feelings boy?" the cop heard this a listened in some more from the open window. This is when he heard a little boy cry out for help in tears.
'That's it.' He thought as he knocked on the door. He waited a few minutes before the door opened. In the doorway stood a big man with his face red with anger. However, it slowly faded when he saw the cop.
"Hello, my name is Lloyd," he said with a fake smile as he looked at the man. However, when the cop looked down to his hands he saw blood.
"Sir. I have heard noise complaints coming inside your house. May I come in?" Harry's uncle started at him and shook his head as his face grew redder. Llyod did not know that this was possible.
"No!" He yelled as he made his way to slam the door in his face, but he stopped it with his foot.
"Sir, I must come in," the Lloyd insisted as he looked at the man. however, the man did not let him in. However, Lloyd pushed passed him and walked in when he saw Harry on the floor not moving. "What the hell?" He asked as he pushed past Harry's uncle.
"The little freak deserved it," the cop's eyes widened at the boy. there was blood all over the boy's face and he looked too skinny for his age.
"You did this?" He asked as he ran to the boy and pulled out his walkie. "I need an ambulance," he said into the walkie and stood up. "You beat your own son?" the big man laughed.
"The freak not my son! He's my wife's freak's sister's son!" Harry's uncle said his disgust in his voice. Lloyd did not say anything as he looked at the man. Then an uneasy silence filled the home. This lasted until the paramedics came running in, as well as the backup that Lloyd called during the silence.
"Is this the boy?" a doctor asked looking at Harry. Lloyd nodded as the doctor gently picked up the five-year-old and put him down on the stretcher. While this was going on Harry's uncle was being put in the police car, handcuffed and screaming.
Sirius felt like he could breathe again when he walked out of the doors. He had tears on his face and tears in his eyes when they gave him his wand. He had more tears in his eyes when he saw Remus Lupin. "M…...Moony?" Sirius voice was dry and filled with tears. "I'm, I'm so, so sorry. Please, please forgive me," Sirius cried not meeting his best friends' eyes. Remus stared at him and smiled.
"Of, course, I do Padfoot. That was in the past, besides it was all Wormtail, not you. I see that now," Sirius smiled nodding. He was grateful that his last living best friend forgive him and also blamed Wormtail and not him. However, this made him sad because Remus did think it was him before he was free of this hell hole that he is now getting out of.
"Thank you, Remus," Sirius said wiping the tears from his eyes. Remus smiled and hugged his best friend. Sirius hugged back and smiled at him.
"Now let's go home," Remus said with a smile, but it does not reach his eyes. Sirius saw this but did not say anything as the two left with a pop.
A/N: I know it did this already but it was so fun to write that I decided to do it again. I hope you like it. It will take me longer to post more chapters of this one because I'm working on five other stories. Anyway. I hope you have a nice day and I will see you next time- Captain Voxland
