A/N: My second Marauder's era fanfic. This one's about Sirius, if you couldn't guess from the title. What happened the night he ran away? Read on, my friends, and find out. The entire story is going to have three chapters and an epilogue, all of which I wrote last night. Can you tell I wasn't in a very good mood? I don't know what time I started writing, but it was 11:33 when I finished. So, am I tired right now? Yes! But hey, read, review. Give me advice, give me praise, flame, I don't care, just review! It makes me so happy! PS, when I get tired, I can get hyper. :D
Dogs Don't Cry
Chapter 1: Fight
There was a fight going on inside Number 12, Grimmauld Place. Anyone hearing the yelling would've thought it could be heard for miles. Three voices had been shouting and screaming at each other for the past half hour, growing louder and angrier every second. One voice was a shrill, high-pitched female's, another, a loud, low male's, the third, an angry sixteen-year-old's. This sixteen-year-old's name was Sirius Black.
"You are the worst disgrace to the family the Blacks have ever seen!" Sirius's mom screamed.
"You already have your perfect son, so why do you even care what I do!" Sirius yelled back.
In response to this outburst, a hand came down hard on Sirius's cheek, just below his left eye. Sirius's father, the hand's owner, shouted, "Because you are also our son, unfortunately, and you are an embarrassment to all of us!"
"You know what? I don't really care anymore!" Sirius screamed. Then he stomped to the front door and yanked it open, pausing to grab his coat and wand.
"If you walk out that door, you can never come back. You will never be a part of the Black family again," Sirius's mother warned.
"Good!" Sirius shot back. Then he turned and left, slamming the door behind him.
His mother didn't hesitate for a minute. She marched right up the stairs to the tapestry, pulled out her wand, and in seconds, the spot that had formerly held Sirius's name became a smoking hole.
Once outside, Sirius began to run. When he reached the end of his block, he transformed into a dog and ran faster, carrying his wand in his mouth. Sirius knew exactly where he was going, but it would take him awhile to get there. The whole time, he kept one thought in mind: Dogs don't cry. Dogs don't cry. Dogs don't cry.
