Summary: Sirius finally leaves Grimmauld Place and begins his life on his own. He meets a mysterious girl in Diagon Alley. Sirius+OC+6th year of Hogwarts=Romance. Y'all do the math. ^_^
A/N: Whee! I've returned to the fandom of Harry Potter! And I must say it's great to be back! I've missed it so much! Hehe. But you know how it is, Jack Sparrow was calling to me, so I had to write a PotC story. Since it's almost finished, now I'm writing this. I apologize for the length of this chapter. But it's the introduction, so I decided to make it shorter than my chapters usually are.
Reviews would be wonderful, but no flames please!!

All of the anger, frustration, and humiliation that had been building over the span of sixteen years finally broke in a flood of long awaited rash action. Sirius Black was leaving this place he had called his home, and he was never coming back.
"Fine then! Go on! We don't need you here! All you are is a filthy blood traitor!" His mother screamed hysterically. "But you'll be sorry once Tom Riddle rises to power. You'll be sorry once you're dead. He doesn't take too kindly to traitors of the blood." Her lips curved into a malicious sneer.
Sirius gritted his teeth together, trying not to laugh at the ridiculous look on her face. At the same time, he was greatful that his father wasn't around. If he was, then Sirius would be dead now, thanks to the unfortunate creation of the Aveda Kedavra curse by the same Tom Riddle his mother had mentioned.
"I'm looking forward to it," Sirius responded dryly, turning the door handle and opening the immaculately painted door. He stepped outside, and looked over his shoulder at his mother, who was still standing in the foyer. "I'm sure Regulus will be thrilled to carry on the family name. He's always enjoyed killing things." He slammed the door on her aghast face, and laughed aloud. "At least that's taken care of," he chuckled, and strolled leisurely down the street.
The nonchalant attitude was a cover for his amazement that he had actually done what he'd been dreaming of doing for the past five years. He, Sirius Black, was finally free of the bonds his upbringing had created- not that he had been restricted by them anyway. He always acted on impulse without regard for the consequences, and this was one of those times. He wasn't too worried though. He had three great friends who he knew would be there for him no matter the circumstance.
Deciding there was no great hurry to find somewhere to stay, he journeyed to Diagon Alley in hope of finding something to eat and withdraw some money from his private bank account. After that, he didn't know. Maybe he'd call on his best friend James Potter. Grinning deviously, he pulled his wand from his pocket and tapped the brick on the wall to Diagon Alley. He waited patiently for the archway to form, and stepped through into the wizarding world as a free man.
