YOU MUST READ THIS!

Hey everyone! My best friend Jacquelyn wrote this a long time ago when she was a member of FanFiction. Some of you may know her, her pen name was AaZz2011. Anyways, she wrote this and had it on Fanfiction, but when she stopped she took it off.

We were going through some stuff on her computer and we found this and she gave me permission to put it back on this site.

Hope you enjoy!

Once again, I DID NOT WRITE THIS! Anything you say in a review will be forwarded to her.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

I was walking beside my Godson, Harry Potter. We had Pettigrew. The man I had once thought to be my friend. Who we had called a true Marauder. Now I would be free.

"You know what this means?" I asked abruptly, turning to Harry. "Turning Pettigrew in?"

He looked at me, still a bit shocked I think. "You're free."

It was still hard to believe the words.

"Yes... But I'm also – I don't know if anyone ever told you – I'm your Godfather."

"Yeah, I knew that." Harry shrugged, but I could see the small smile playing at the edge of his lips.

"Well..." I said, "You're parents appointed me your guardian, if anything were to happen to them..." I trailed off. Harry waited, still looking at me with those piercing green eyes that I was so used to seeing on Lily Potter's face.

"I'll understand of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle." I said hurriedly. I didn't want him to say no, but I wanted to give him the choice.

"But... well... think about it." I almost pleaded. "Once my names cleared... if you wanted a ... a different home..." I stammered, watching my Godson very closely.

"What – live with you?" His head shot up and smacked the cave rough.

The smile on my face instantly dropped. I should never have said anything, he had only know me for a few minutes anyways. I was a stranger, a convicted murderer.

"Leave the Dursleys?"

"Of course I thought you wouldn't want to." I said quickly. I really was crazy! I tried not to show disappointment on my face. "I understand." And truly I did. "I just thought I'd –"

"Are you mad?" Harry said, grinning.

Maybe. I said silently.

"Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Have you got a house? When can I move?"

Were his relatives really that bad?

"You want to? You mean it?" It was too good to be true.

"Yes I mean it!" Harry said loudly.

I was grinning. This right here was what made Azkaban worth it all.

We were almost there, almost to freedom when I heard the girl shout. "He didn't take his potion tonight!" Remus!

"Run!" I whispered to Harry.

I had to keep him safe, but Harry's life cost me my freedom.

But isn't that what a Godfather was supposed to do?

I was by the lake. I could feel the coldness. I was going to be kissed. The dementors were closing in. I thought of Harry's smile when I asked him to live with me.

I knew it was too good to be true.

Note! Hey guys, it's Hobbelfoot.11. Did you like it? I really thought it was a great piece of work.

If you're wondering about my story Like Father, like Son, I had decided to put it on hold until the end of exams and after I finished, we went to P.E.I. for 6 days and I just got back yesterday.

Next chapter is half-finished and should be up Tuesday!
