Chapter 1 – Padfoot's Departure
"I am tired of this!" he yelled as he threw his father's penseive across the room. It smashed into pieces and small silver vapors rose from it. "Reparo. Sirius you will stay here!" yelled his mother in return. The penseive took its shape again. "I AM NOT YOUR SERVANT!" Sirius now was gripping his wand. His rage that had been enclosed since he started Hogwarts was finally being relinquished.
"YOU ARE MY SON AND YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY! THAT IS AN ORDER!" His mother was now pointing her wand directly at his forehead. Sirius was quick to the draw. "If your father were here, you would not be so brave." "Don't tell me I'm more of a coward than he is! That's why he's dead."
The words seemed to hit a nerve. "Crucio!" Sirius fell under pain, he had never felt worse. The pain was taking over his body, he had no idea what to do until a little voice rung in his head. 'Are you going to let her beat you?'
"NO!" Sirius stood up, the pain wasn't evident anymore, even though her wand was still raised.
"Expelliarmus! Impedimenta!" Her wand flew from her hand then she was immediately frozen in mid sentence.
"I'm out of here. I'm sick of this family!" Sirius stepped outside and transformed to the grizzly black dog the neighbors were afraid of.
He took off running, not exactly knowing where to go. He needed to go to Gringotts to get some gold then he'd live on the run until he returned to Hogwarts. He ran to Surrey, but stopped when he thought of the one person that would take him in, James Potter. He instantly headed towards Godric Hollows.
He knew James would love to have him stay, but he'd have to hide from Mr. and Mrs. Potter. They would sure tell Sirius's mother and he would be sent home. That was the last place he wanted to be at the moment. Sirius just realized another thing, the Ministry would be after him now. He had used magic under-age; he could be expelled for that.
Sirius just needed to get the Potter's, James would know what to do. He took off, knowing it would be at least an hour before he reached James' house. An hour later, Padfoot let out his booming bark. James came to the door, "Hey there Sirius. Dumbledore figured you'd be coming here."
