Hello everyone to this new fanfiction. :) This first chapter is like the prequel to everything. I hope you enjoy!


Chapter 1: Halloween Night

Sirius Black sped quickly to Godric's Hollow on his motorbike. He had a backpack on his back and a little baby resting in the baby sling around his shoulders. The baby was his precious little daughter, Pandora Black. It was hard raising her as a single father, as the mother left her on his doorstep after her birth, but was able to thanks to the help of James and Lily Potter who had their own son, Harry Potter. He had visited Peter Pettigrew's house to find him missing so he immediately flew to his close friend's house.

What he saw was devastating.

The house was destroyed and James and Lily were dead. Rubeus Hagrid was already there with baby Harry. They spoke for a while, thinking about what must have happened and comforted one another.

"Give him to me, Hagrid. I will take care of him. I am his godfather." Sirius said.

Hagrid shook his head, "I can't. He is ter go ter his aunt and uncle. Dumbledore's orders."

Sirius argued with him but he finally gave in. "Alright, fine. Take my motorbike. I won't be needing it anymore."

Hagrid looked surprised, "What about you and Pandora?"

"I will be taking her to my cousin Andromeda until everything is sorted out. It will be fine, Hagrid. Now go."

And so Hagrid left.

Sirius was grief-stricken at his friend's death and angry at Peter. His friend sold out James and Lily. Someone they thought they could trust! Sirius was going to track down Peter if it was the last thing he ever did. He looked down at Pandora who was waking up. She was so innocent, so happy, not understanding anything that was happening. What if she got hurt? Sirius knew he would never be able to forgive himself if she was ever injured. He loved her.

Sirius disapparated to the Tonks front door and knocked. A few minutes later the door opened, revealing a tired looking Andromeda.

"Sirius! What are you doing here at this time of night!" she exclaimed.

"I'm really sorry but can you look after Pandora for a few days? Some bad things have happened tonight and I just need you to look after her. I've brought a bag containing her necessities and a few toys. You know where my house is if you need anything else." Sirius explained.

"Sirius…."

"Please Andromeda. You are one of the few people I trust with her."

Andromeda looked at Pandora, who was chewing on the side of the sling, and sighed, "Fine. I'm sure Ted won't mind and Nymphadora should be happy."

Sirius smiled, "Thank you so much."

He looked down at his child that looked so much like him. She had little tufts of black hair and bright, shining grey eyes that looked up at her father in wonder. She was a healthy one year old. (Born on February 19, 1980.)

He pulled out a letter that he had written, just in case, from his back pocket and gave it to Andromeda. "If something was to happen to me and I don't come back, give her this letter when she asks who I am in the future. Hopefully you won't have to."

She took the letter along with the backpack. Sirius took the sling off and held Pandora in his arms, "I love you, my child. Never forget that." He kissed her forehead. She kissed his nose and giggled, causing Sirius to smile. He gave her over to Andromeda, kissing her one more time.

And then he left.


There you go. The next chapter begins when Pandora is 11. please review and whatnot!

Also, I named her Pandora in respect to how the Black family names their kids after astromical signs and such.
