A/N: I assure you none of this will be remotely accurate… no time to research anything.
Prologue
Sirius Black was ending a vital chapter in his life.
It was the last day of his seventh year at Hogwarts. Seven years of pranks, friends, tears, and laughter- seven years of sneaking out of the common room at night under a crowded invisibility cloak, running around on full moon nights, raiding the kitchens, tormenting slytherins, and discovering secret passageways only they were aware of.
It was the place where he met James Potter, who inspired him to be his own person, who was there for him when his family threw him out; the place where he met Remus Lupin, who was quiet, and studious, and though disapproving of his and James' antics at times, was clever and mischievous and had gotten them out of trouble more than a few times; where he met Peter, who… had the uncanny ability to consume any amount of food placed in front of him. And who was a good friend as well.
This was the place that saved him from his family, and himself. It set him free, and gave him friends, who became his family. It made him who he was.
And now he was leaving.
But, he wasn't leaving alone- he and his chosen family were all going out to face the world together. And although the departure was bittersweet, he couldn't help but feel excited.
A/N: Once again, expect almost no accuracy- I'm changing everything anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
