Hey guys. So this is just a series of drabbles I thought up, and basically it's just different character's reactions to James and Lily's deaths. All of them are under 500 words, some will be closer to 500 words than others, it depends on the character. So.. I hope you enjoy!
Sirius' POV
It's been a few days since Voldemort murdered James and Lily, and it still hasn't hit. The pain is masked by anger, anger at Peter Pettigrew, a supposed dear friend, for betraying the people he called 'best friends' for years. I suggested to Dumbledore last minute that he change the secret-keeper, and that he gave the secret to Peter Pettigrew, a man that I thought I knew and trusted. Turned out that was one of the biggest mistakes I've made in my life. How was I to know that he had sold his soul to Voldemort, that he would do anything to get in the Dark Lord's good graces? I want to kill him. Because of him, Remus probably thinks me a murderer, but I'm not. I'm not. I want to get into contact with Remus, to explain, to apologise, but it was still my fault. It was me that suggested Peter as a secret keeper, it wasn't Dumbledore or anyone else, it was me. I'm responsible for my best friend's deaths. The pain I felt that first night when I realised what Peter was going to do, when I got to Godric's Hollow and my best friends were lying dead in their home, it was intense. I was first on the scene, desperate to see what had happened to my second family. I managed to get out before the Ministry officials started swarming around, but only just. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to Harry, at least not properly. He's going to think me a murderer, too. The man that killed his parents. Only it's not true, I would never hurt James and Lily. I belong with them, they're my family, the only family I had. And now they're not here. James Potter, my brother, is no longer here. And it kills me to say it. It kills me to know that I'll never get to joke around with him anymore; that I won't be able to taste Lily's cooking, that we won't be able to corrupt Harry's youth, according to Lily at least. I saw Hagrid earlier, though. He let me know what was happening to Harry. He's taking him to Lily's sister and brother-in-law. Poor Harry, going away to live with the Muggles. I wanted to tell Hagrid to give him to me, because with me is where he belongs. But I knew Hagrid was doing it for Dumbledore, and Dumbledore wouldn't let me be guardian. 'It would be too risky', is what he would say. I suppose it would. I'll have to be on the run for a while, and then there's the case of revenge for the Potters- meaning on Peter Pettigrew. Then I really will be known as a murderer. I suppose it's in Harry's best interests, though I wish this hadn't happened. I wish none of this had happened, I just want my best friends back.
