A/N: Hey all! This "100-word drabble" thing is an idea I borrowed from SoloMoon's fic "Thou Bitter Sky." But while the idea may be theirs, the actual content is mine, I promise. And you should go check out that fic if you're into ATLA fanfic because it is gooood.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Harry Potter related, or the quote below. The title of this chapter and the quote come from John Greenleaf Whittier.
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been."
Sometimes I think about that fateful night.
Voldemort killed my parents. My world fell apart when I was too young to even know it. The Dark Lord fled, Hagrid carried me away, and I spent the next decade with the Dursleys.
But what if, what if it had been different?
What if Hagrid had given me to Sirius? What if Sirius hadn't gone to Azkaban, and he had raised me? What if Sirius had trusted Lupin, so he could have vouched for his innocence and pointed the blame at Peter, the true traitor?
Sometimes it's just too painful to contemplate.
A/N: And there you have it! The first drabble. I still haven't decided whether I want this to be centered around Harry, or if they'll bounce around and look at different characters, but it all just depends on what gets my creative juices going, you know?
I welcome praise and constructive criticism alike, as well as any suggestions you might have!
