A/N: Drabble #1 of 26. Each has a different theme that corresponds to the next letter of the alphabet. I'm sure it's been done, but it really is fun :) These ones deal with the Marauders at any point in their lives, as well as Lily, and a little bit of Snape with the occasional cameo by the mysterious Mary Macdonald. As for Deathly Hallows spoilers, there aren't any in this one, but there will be in others (I think the first one is in 'E').
Story Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; everything that you recognise belongs to the wonderfully talented J.K. Rowling.
A is for Azkaban
Sirius Black stared at the opposite wall of his cell. Today, he had seen the date on a newspaper that an Auror had been carrying when he walked through the prison. He'd now spent more time in Azkaban than he had at Hogwarts. It was a milestone, but not one to be celebrated.
His only consolations were that Harry was safe, even if he wasn't loved, and that Peter Pettigrew had also spent the last eight years imprisoned.
However, as a dementor glided past his cell, Sirius didn't think that Peter's imprisonment as a rat was much of a consolation.
