Sirius Black gazed out of his cell. Screams of agony, suffering, and madness were all around him. He was used to this now. The screams never stopped, the crying never stopped. He looked at the man in the cell across from his. He had his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth, and was drooling. Sirius shuddered. He stared at the man for a few more minutes until the man began to bore him. He lay back on his hard bed. He gazed at the ceiling he had been looking at for 12 years. The sight of it also began to bore him, as had the prisoner across from him. He closed his eyes and tried to remember the happy times in his life. He couldn't. He hadn't had a happy time in 12 long years. Then an image flashed across his mind. He opened his eyes and sat up, gazed around wildly. He then reminded himself that he was slowing losing his mind. He tried to get back the image. The image of the beautiful red haired woman. As he tried to regain the image, he drifted off to sleep. He dreamed for the first time in 13 years a dream that wasn't terrifying and made him wake up in a cold sweat. At first he was at Hogwarts. He, James, Remus, Peter and Lily were sitting under a tree. In his sleep, Sirius twitched at the sight of that miserable rat Peter Pettigrew. In his dream, he saw Lily and James snuggling. He and Remus were chasing Peter. Sirius saw himself stop and gaze at the couple under the tree. Jealousy and rage filled him. He squeazed his fist so hard his knuckles cracked. While he had been thinking thoughts of hatred about James, Remus ran into him, knocking him to the ground. "Get the hell off me!!" Sirius screamed, punching Remus and then spitting in his face "Geeze, I was only playing" Remus said, wiping the spit off his face. "You know, life dosen't just involve playing. Why don't you grow up for a change?!"
"Sirius, are you OK?" it was James Rage filled Sirius. He was so angry. He raised his fist to punch James in his insolent face, but a small hand grabbed his arm. "Sirius, stop!!!" Lily screamed. She was obviously upset. He could see tears forming in her beautiful eyes. "D-don't you hurt him!!" She yelled. She ran to James and hugged him. "Whats the matter old Padfoot?" said Remus "Nothing!! Just, just leave me alone!!" He stalked off toward the castle.
He then switched places in his dream. He was at a place that looked oddly familiar. It was his old house. He saw himself go and answer the door. Lily ran in, and she was upset, crying. Then he sat Lily down on the couch and started talking to her. "Oh, Sirius!" she cried "It was so awful!!" she then collasped in his arms. She and James had had a fight. She said he had never seen him so angry. She thought James was going to hit her. He hadn't. The awful thing was that the 2 of them were 3 weeks married. She was scared that her marriage was failing, she didn't know what to do. He then heard Lily asking him through her tears if she could stay with him for a while. He said yes. Sirius then remembered this whole episode. Lily had been staying with him for 1 week when they gave into temptation. They spent the night together. (see Author's note on this) Lily left 2 days after that night. She and James made up, but she and Sirius still carried that secret. They swore to eachother that they would never tell a soul.
3 weeks after Lily had stayed with Sirius, she came to his house. She had news. She was pregnant.
Authors Note: I apologize for the little bit of graphic detail in this. It wasn't much, just a tiny itsy bitsy bit. (Oh yeah, I apologize for this again in Part 2) Obviously this takes place during the time in "Prisoner of Azkaban"
