Sirius' Story: part one
"I remember that night real well Harry…" said Sirius, staring out the opened window. " It was a terrible night…No, what happened was terrible; the night was most unusual. It started as one of those perfect summer nights, you know, where you feel like nothing could gowrong. I had spent the day at your house in Godric's Hallow. It was one of those things where I felt like I should be there, though I didn't know why…"

" Well James, thanks for letting me come over today." Said Sirius, combing a hand through his dark brown hair.
"Don't worry about it, Padfoot. We all get these feelings now of days. Never knowing if you'll see someone again. It's awful." James replied. They stood there for a few seconds when little Harry's cry for "Pa-Foo" broke the silence.
"Sorry to interrupt you two," Said Lily, carrying Harry out, " but he wanted to see 'Pa-Foo' before he went home, again." She finished with a smile.
"PA-FOO!" Harry shrieked, trying to gain his godfather's attention.
"Okay… Okay, come here Little-Prongs." He said taking Harry out of his mother's arms and throwing him in the air then catching him again.
"Oh, Prongs, I'm jealous." Sirius said once Lily left.
"Why is that Padfoot?" James inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"Your life. I mean you have a loving and beautiful wife, and a great kid," he said ruffling Harry's hair, "and what do I have? Nothing."
"Sirius… That brings us to something I have been thinking of a lot about lately. I… if something was to happen to Lily and me, I want you to promise me you will take care of Harry. Raise him as your son if something happens…Please Padfoot," he said when Sirius opened his mouth to speak, " Please promise me this."
Sirius looked him in the eyes and saw fear. His best mate, who didn't scare easily, was frightened. He knew he had to do this, so slowly he nodded his head.
" Yeah…I'll do it, I… I promise."
" You will? Thank you so much…it is such a relief to know that." James said giving him a hug.
"Well, I gotta go." He started to leave trying to hide Harry. He was halfway down the walk when a voice from came from behind.
"Sirius…" This made him stop in his tracks.
"Yes James?" he said grinning.
"I'll be needing Harry back, now." James said with laughter in his voice.
"I don't know what you are talking about." James walked up to him right as Sirius gave a look as if he smelt a skunk.
"Umm… You can have this back now." Said Sirius as Harry informed them that he had indeed 'poopey' ed.
"Yeah… I had a feeling that would happen." Said James, taking Harry from his friend. "See ya mate."
"Love ya bro." Said Sirius. " Oh and tell Flower I love her too." With that said he walked over to his motorcycle and with a vroom, flew off into the sunset.
End Flashback
" But Sirius. What does that have to do with what happened?" Asked Harry quietly.
"Well, Harry, that was the last time I saw your parents alive. Jeez, I know you are tired of hearing this but you look so much like your father." He said looking him over, then looking back out the window. "Sometimes I see them in you. I hearJames in your laugh; I see your mother staring at me when I look you in the eyes. Sometimes it pains me to look at you. But that doesn't matter. All in good time you will see where my story is leading."
