My first Harry Potter Fan Fiction. I do not own any Of the Original characters from J.K. Rawlings Books. Just Clairessa Black.
As the wind blew around Sirius that Halloween night as he approached the location the order had given him. He never wanted to leave his daughter Clairessa or Claire; that night. He hasn't left her with anyone since his fiancé Marine was killed by death eaters with her parents. Marine managed to get their daughter to the safety of Grimwalded place before they got to the house. Marine never wanted to leave their daughter with out her, but being in the middle of a war with Lord Voldimort there was never a serenity that they would live long enough to see Claire go to school. Since that night he hasn't left his nearly 3 year old with anyone. But for some reason, Dumbledore needed him here. So James and Lilly volintered to watch their goddaughter and take her trickier treating with their nearly 4-year-old Jaspin and 1-year-old Harry. He remembered when they found out about Jaspin, just out of Hogwarts and they were expecting a child. Lilly was scared that it was to soon, but James was ecstatic about it. After everything they went through in school, falling in love, James pinning over the fiery girl that kept rejecting him till their seventh year.
Standing in the cold, thinking about what was goanna happen, he hoped that he would see Claire again. She was the most beautiful child he ever saw. Never thought that he would father such a beauty. Finding out the day before Jaspin turned 1 that he was goanna be a father in January. That sent him for a loop, he and Marine haven't been officially dating that long when they found out that they were expecting. But once little Clairessa was born. He couldn't imagine his life any other way. His daughter was a shy little one, but she loved it when he took his padfoot form, she enjoyed cuddling and being around her daddy. Just before he left the Potter's home he saw that his daughter was being dressed in a dog costume that Lilly picked up for her. Jaspin wanted to be a dragon, and Harry was a lion. James had promised that he would take plenty of pictures and reassured him that they would be fine. They would make sure she slept and not have too much candy. He remembers the first time they all went tricker treating, Claire couldn't say the words correctly, and said picker-peat, which was so adorable.
In the distance he saw a familiar figure walking towards him. They kept looking at their arm and looking behind them, like they were expecting some on to show up. Pulling out his wand, Sirius approached them.
"Peter, what are you doing here?" He asked curiously, with his wand light up, to show his face to his long time friend.
"Sir-Sirius, I thought you were out with James." Peter sniveled as he hid his right arm behind his back.
"I was asked to be here by Dumbledore. Why are you here? And what are you hiding?"
Sirius was suspicious about why they all agreed to let Peter to be the secret keeper of the Potters location. Ever since then, he had the strangest feeling in the pit of his stomach. Like something was goanna happen.
"You don't know how powerful he is…" Peter whispered.
"What did you do?" Sirius asked as dread set in his mind.
"The ways he can make you talk, I couldn't lie to him."
Sirius knew what Peter did as soon as he said he couldn't lie. Peter had given the Dark Lord the location of the Potters, and his daughter was there right now. The anger that rolled through him, spells and curses started flying between them.
"They were your friends! Jaspin, Claire, and Harry treat you like an Uncle!" Sirius yelled at him as he dodged a curse. They stopped for a moment to stair at each other. That's when Peter used a cutting spell to cut off his finger. Looking straight in the eye, Sirius watched as their betrayer turned into the rat that he was. Just as Auroras showed to take him into their custody, he yelled saying that he never did anything to any one. Once he was sentenced to life in Azkaban, he knew he would never see his daughter again. He wasn't even sue she was alive; all he knew was that Harry defeated the dark lord. He lost Marine, James, Lilly, Jaspin, Harry and Claire all in one night. He knew that if he ever got out, he would find Peter and kill him.
