Thud. Thud. Thud.
He runs through the street, breathing heavil and hugging the bundle to his chest. His eyes dart around the dark streets.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
His ears are full of thuds. Is that my heart or my footsteps? He comes up to a building with many doors.
The bundle shifts in his arms. He holds it closer and tucks the pink blanket around it.
"Sirius? Is that you?"
The man whirls around, his matted hair hitting his grimy face.
"Dumbledore? Oh thank goodness!"
Dumbledore walks closer.
"You're in a lot of trouble, Sirius. I'm not sure if here, at the site of the Order of the Phoenix, is a good place for you to be." He says.
"I know, Dumbledore, but I need a favor of you. Please!"
"What is it you request?"
SIrius looks at the bundle, "After Wormtail...I ran to her place. To tell her what happened. When I got there, Rookwood...he was laughing...I tried to stun him, but he left. She was dead. Thankfully I got there before he found Anna..."
"Where are you going with this, Sirius?"
"Her only other family is death eaters! There's no one else! She'll be all alone! Tonks is too busy with the ministry and Narcissa married that...that...creep! I can't leave Anna with them. Please, Headmaster!"
"What are you asking of me?"
"Please! Find her a good home! Find her a family that'll raise her right! I don't care who, but someone good!"
Dumbledore stares at Sirius for a moment. Tears fall down Sirius's face.
"Give me the baby. I'll see what I can do, even if it means raising her myself." he says.
Sirius sobs, "Oh Dumbledore...thank you!"
Sirius hugs the bundle close and kisses it. He hands her to Dumbledore.
"I love you Anna." he whispers.
He apparates and Dumbledore walks along with the baby.
