The storm outside the large house in Godrics Hollow raged on viciously. Inside the house however a small raven haired boy cried into his mothers shoulder.
"Harry, honey your okay." Lily cooed her six year old son. She walked into the kitchen and sat Harry down on the counter. Looking strait into her sons eyes she asked, "Harry, whats wrong?" She asked as her husband, James, walked into the room.
"Want... Siri," Harry chocked out between sobs.
"Padfoot is on his way," James said to the little boy. "Sirius said he would be here in a half hour." James had given in and called Sirius to come calm Harry down. Lily picked Harry up and headed living room.
"We'll wait on the couch, okay honey." Lily cooed to Harry. With James at her side she sat down on the couch and rubbed Harry's back comfortingly. Little did they no this was the last happy moment they would share.
Out of no where there was a ear deafening bang as the front door flew off it's hedges. James jumped up, flicking his wrist so his wand came out of it's holster. Running into the entrance hall he stood before a evil looking man with blood red slits for eyes, and two slits where his nose should be.
"LILY, RUN, HE'S HERE! TAKE HARRY AND RUN!" He screamed as he kept his eyes locked on Voldemort. He could here Lily running upstairs to try and escape.
"Get out of the way, foolish boy," Voldemort sneered evilly. "Step aside and I shall spare your miserable life."
"Keep the bloody hell away from my boy." James hissed menacingly.
"Fine, have it your way." Voldemort sneered as he sent a jet of bright orange light at James. James barely made it out of the way as he sent a jet of green light at Voldemort. "You foolish blood traitor! You dare aim to kill me, Lord Voldemort." Voldemort shouted as he sent off another jet of light. James dropped to the ground barely avoiding the curse. "Crucio!" Voldemort hissed James writhed in pain as his bones broke in half. He grit his teeth to stop himself from crying out in pain. "You foolish blood traitor," Voldemort sneered menacingly. "I will use you as a example of what happens when you defy Lord Voldemort, Cuticula abruptio!" James screamed in pain as his skin ripped and twisted. It was agonizing pain. You could see his intestines, his heart pumping furiously as he tried to breath. Voldemort stood in front of the man and laughed. "Perhaps," He jeered evilly. "The mudblood will be wiser and step aside. Sectum Sempra." Voldemort screeched, his wand pointed at James heart. The heart split in two and stopped beating. James gurgled as he choked on his own blood, and then the brave Auror knew no more. Voldemort let out a cruel high pitched laugh as he stepped over the lifeless body of the great Auror. Heading up the stairs he heard thudding and pounding.
"Foolish mudblood," Voldemort sneered reaching the door where the noise was coming from.
With one swift flick of his wand, the door flew off it's hinges. The failed attempt to block the door was obvious. The dresser, which had been pushed in front of the door, now lay all over the floor in nothing more than splinters. Lily stood in front of Harry who was huddled in a corner.
"Move away, you foolish mudblood," Voldemort sneered menacingly.
"not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry,"
"stand aside, you silly girl ... stand aside, now"
"not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead---"
"this is my last warning---"
"not Harry! please... have mercy ... have mercy ... not Harry! not Harry! please --- I'll do anything---" Lily pleaded desperately.
"Foolish mud blood, now you shall pay the price for thrice defying Lord Voldemort, Avada Kedavra," A jet of bright green light flew out of his wand, and strait into Lily's chest. Lily fell to the floor with a thud, her eyes opened and lifeless. Harry crawled over to Lily tears streaming down his face.
"Mommy," Harry sobbed out desperately trying to shake Lily. Harry stared up at Voldemort, knowing this was the man who had hurt his Mommy.
"Know this brat. They could have lived had it not been for you." Voldemort sneered he saw the look of terror in the small child's eyes. Pointing the wand at the child's forehead he muttered the two most dreaded words. "Avada Kedavra..." And then he new nothing
It was black...
He was not dead...
But he wasn't alive...
So...
He fled...
Fled into the night...
Sirius
Sirius flew quickly towards James and Lily's house. He had gotten a call little over twenty minuets ago from James. James had explained that Harry had woken up because of the storm and was now crying for him to come over. Sirius, of course, had agreed instantly and even though it was storming horribly jumped on his Harley. Descending from the sky through the storm clouds, Sirius was met with the worst sight he could imagine.
The front door had been blown off it's hinges and part of the roof was missing and smoke was rising out. Sirius let the Harley fall to the ground and land with a SPLAT in the mud. He raced towards the house. Once outside the door his worse fears were confirmed
"JAMES!" He cried as he ran to the cold mangled body of his best friend. "James, James please, don't be dead," Sirius pleaded loudly, nearly yelling. "Please no!" Then he realized that there was only one mangled body. "LILY, HARRY!" Sirius screamed as he ran up the stair towards the smell of smoke. He saw the door blasted of its hinges. He ran into the room and dropped to the floor at the sight of Lily's body. He crawled over to her and layed his head on her stomach and sobbed.
"Lily, god no." Sirius sobbed. He didn't notice the pair of green eyes staring at him from under the bed.
"Siri," A small timid voice said. Sirius looked towards the bed where a small child with tears running down his face emerged from the bed. Harry had blood running down his fore head and the little boy was as white as snow.
"Harry," Sirius cried out he grabbed Harry and held him as close to him as humanly possible as he wiped away the blood running down his face. "God, Harry don't worry. Shh... Siri's got you...your okay." Sirius tried to calm the crying child while he sobbed.
"Siri," Harry sobbed. "Siri, wake mommy up, please, she wont wake up." Harry sobbed out.
"Harry I-i cant. Puppy I'm so sorry." Sirius cried into the little boys hair.
"Siri, cal uncle Moony, he can wake Mommy up." Harry sobbed out. Sirius rubbed Harry's back as he stood up on wobbly legs. Harry was right about one thing. He needed to call Remus. He slowly walked down the stairs and pressed Harry's head to his chest to block his view as they walked through the entrance hall and into the kitchen. He sat Harry on the floor and grabbed the phone.
"Siri, wheres Daddy." Harry sobbed out. Sirius fell to the floor and held his head in his hands. Harry crawled over to Sirius and maneuvered himself into his lap. Sirius held Harry close and sobbed into his hair. Sirius grabbed the phone from the floor and looked for Remus' number. He hit dial before his hand shook so badly he could no longer hold the phone. It fell to the floor with a thud and you could here the phone ringing and Remus answer. Harry picked up the phone.
"Uncle Moony," Harry sobbed out in a choked voice.
"Harry, cub whats wrong." Remus asked worriedly.
"Mommy wont wake up, and I not know where Daddy is." Harry sobbed out wiping the blood off of his face from behind his glasses.
"Harry, what happened." Remus shouted nervously running to the floo.
"The bad man came, he hurt Mommy, and I not know where Daddy went." Harry sobbed desperately.
"Harry, whose there with you, who got you the phone?" Remus asked
"Siri came," Harry sobbed out sadly.
"Harry wait there okay, I'm coming."Remus said quickly. "What ever you do, don't leave with Sirius, okay, promise me."
" I promise uncle Moony," Harry said sadly. He hung up the phone and turned to Sirius. "Siri, uncle Moonys coming come on," Harry sobbed grabbing Sirius' hand and trying to pull him up. Harry gave up on pulling Sirius and walked towards the entrance hall when Sirius heard a ear splitting scream.
"HARRY!" Sirius shouted running into the entrance hall Harry was kneeling beside James Mangled Body screaming, crying, and puking.
"Daddy," Harry screamed over and over again Sirius ran to Harry and grabbed him into a hug. Harry screamed and struggled against Sirius' hold. "No Siri, help Daddy! Please, Siri, Help." Harry choked out between sobs.
"Harry, theres nothing I could do. Shh... " Sirius tried to comfort the screaming child.
"No, help Daddy please, Siri, Help." Harry screamed between sobs.
"I-i can't Puppy, I'm so sorry." Sirius cried into the small child's shoulder. Not knowing what else to do Sirius grabbed James cloak from the hook and wrapped it around Harry. Taking out his wand he summoned Harry's stuffed stag. He handed Harry the toy and The crying child took it and continued to scream. Sirius covered Harry's head with the cloak as the small child began to kick and struggle against Sirius.
"Siri, help Daddy, and Mommy," Harry cried desperately as Sirius headed outside onto the porch.
"Puppy I can't." Sirius said desperately. "I'm sor..."
"HARRY," A yell sounded from across the lawn. Remus was racing towards them with Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonnagal, along with four Aurors following closely. All three had their wands drawn. And pointed strait at Sirius who was still restraining the kicking and screaming child.
"Sirius, put Harry down and back away NOW!" Remus shouted menacingly.
"Remus, w-what are y-you doing." Sirius stuttered clutching Harry tighter.
"Put him down NOW," Remus shouted. "You've already betrayed Lily and James. Let. Harry. Go!"
"No Remus I-i didn't I swear." Sirius stuttered setting Harry gently on his feet. He was about to grab walk towards Remus when the little boy shocked every one by screaming and reaching for Sirius.
"Siri, Don't leave please, help Daddy and Mommy." Harry cried desperately. Sirius lifted the little boy up and cradled him close to his chest.
"Remus, I swear I didn't," Sirius pleaded as the five wizards advanced on him.
"Sirius, you were the secret keeper. Your the only one who could tell." Remus shouted angry that Sirius dare lye in front of Harry.
"No he wasn't." Harry muttered from beneath the cloak.
"Harry come here," Remus said in a much calmer voice.
"Siri isn't the secret no more, Wormy was." Harry said between sobs.
"Wormtail, y-you switched... When, why didn't you tell me." Remus asked sounding close to tears.
"We switched last night, we haven't seen you sense." Sirius said wiping the tears from his eyes. Last night was the full moon and the ministry didn't start handing out Wolfsbane until next month.
"Padfoot, I'm s-so sorry, I-i didn't know." Remus said in a choked voice. Sirius pulled Remus into a hug and Harry wrapped his arms around Sirius and Remus' neck.
"It's alright Moony, you didn't know." Sirius said letting go of Remus.
"Where is he," Remus asked suspiciously.
"If I know Peter he'll come by morning to see his 'handy work'." Sirius growled as he turned to Albus. "Pettigrew is a animagus, a rat. You'll know him if you see him because he'll be the only one within a mile. Lily warded this place from Rats and Mice."
"Alright, I think it best if Minerva," Albus said glancing at her. "Escort you three to Hogwarts where you can spend the night to ensure your safety."
"Remus you take Harry, I'm going after Wormtail." Sirius hissed moving to give Harry to Remus.
"NO," Harry screamed as he clung tightly to Sirius' clothes.
"Sirius you can't leave." Remus said placing his arm on Sirius' shoulder. "Stay with Harry, you wont do him any good in azkabam."
"Your right," Sirius admitted in defeat.
"Come, Sirius, Remus, you need rest." Minerva said digging in here pocket and pulling out a handkerchief. "Grab hold it's a portkey." Minerva said once Sirius and Remus had hold of the portkey Minerva said the activation code and they felt the familiar tug behind his naval.
