1. Halloween--1991

**A/N: This is my first story and i'm quite excited about it! I have taken some liberties and pushed the timing of the books ahead by about 10 years (think 90's-00's). Also, Sirius has a daughter with an American witch (Prue, from one of my favorite TV shows, Charmed-again taking some liberties for my story :) this is a slight AU as i've changed several things. On that note, please enjoy!**

Prologue-Halloween 1991

Sirius Black was not a coward by any means, nor was he very adept at thinking things through.

No, he was the kind of person who went in to any situation head first, no plan to speak of, and that is how he ended up in this predicament. He had arrived back at the Potters earlier than anticipated, after helping Leo get everything taken care of with the Halliwells. He had noticed something was dreadfully wrong after finding James sprawled at the foot of the stairs, dead. So Sirius, being well, himself, had raced up the stairs to find Lily already dead in front of the crib, You-Know-Who with his wand poised at the barely one year old boy in the crib.

Sirius let out a breath of relief as he caught sight of the pearly sheen of Shayne's protective bubble, but now he was faced with another predicament. One that he knew he wouldn't be able to escape from. No one faced Snake Eyes and walked away from it alive, unless he wished it.

"Sirius Black. I should have known you would arrive here." Sirius held back a cringe as he stared into the red eyes of Lord Voldemort, moving himself ever so slightly in front of Shayne and Harry. He knew he wouldn't be able to protect them, but he prayed to whatever deity he could think of, that Shayne's bubble would hold up until Severus got his Patronus.

Sirius straightened his spin and glared at the snake like man infront of him, trying to hold back the tears as he forced himself not to look at the body of his long time friend on the floor. He had resigned himself to his fate, much like Lily had probably only minutes before. So he continued to stare at his impending death.

He would also be the first to admit that he was not one to scare easily, it usually took alot, but right now he was absolutely terrified. His daughter had just lost her mother, and her aunts, and was now going to lose her father. Harry was going to lose his entire family, (save for his mother's sister) in one night as well. This wasn't fair, but if there was one thing Sirius was certain of, it would be that he would protect these two babies till his last breath.

"You've come to the terms of your death I see. I shall allow you a moment." If Sirius was shocked or confused by Voldemort's words, he didn't show it, instead turning and watching as Shayne's bubble retracted to let him hug the two kids.

"I love you both, so much. Don't ever forget that." Sirius murmured into his daughter's hair, as he gathered Harry in his other arm and held him close. He watched as Shayne held Harry's hand in her's, then placed her free hand on to his cheek.

'We love you too daddy. Always.' Shayne projected. Sirius held back the sob that threatened to break free. His poor daughter was going to have extraordinary magic, as she had her mother's physical powers, and his magic thrumming through her veins, and would have no one to teach her.

"Protect Harry, and remember the Dragon." Sirius whispered as Shayne nodded and dropped her hand. He gave them both one last hug before forcing himself to let them go. He had barely turned around when the blinding green light was hurtling towards him. He turned to look at the children and smiled before everything went numb and dark. He missed the way Shayne screamed in terror as Snake Eyes turned his wand towards Harry. He missed how the killing curse, bounced off Harry, ricocheted into Shayne, before bouncing off of her and hitting Snake Eyes right in the chest.

He missed the way how not even five minutes later, Severus was crying as he held the one woman he would ever love. Sirius missed the way Harry let out a small whimper, causing Severus to glare at him, only for his black eyes to soften at the sight of the two children. He missed the way Shayne stuttered out "Dragon" causing Severus's eyes to widen in surprise. No, Sirius missed all of this as he floated aimlessly in the abyss of death.
