#PARSELTONGUE#
17th May 1979:
It was a beautiful warm morning in London. People were wide awake and on with their jobs. In the dining room of 12 Grimauld Place, sat a man with long black hair and grey eyes, sipping his morning coffee and reading a newspaper. He almost choked when he read the first headline:
ANOTHER DEATH EATER ATTACK IN VERTIC ALLEY
By David Jones
On the night of 16th may 1979, there was a huge attack of Death Eaters in Vertic Alley also known as sister of Diagon Alley located in northern London. The Aurors on duty were found dead in a heap of bodies in the heart of the alley. This attack is considered as 'payback' for the failed raid on ministry a month ago. Officials still have to comment on the attack.
For full information turn to pg, 5
A small frown appeared on his lips as he remembered the raid on ministry. It was a sudden attack, although there was no casualty but many were seriously injured. In the list, there was also a name of his best friend James Potter or Prongs as he and rest of the marauders called him.
'Oh prongs!' thought Sirius as he took another sip from his coffee. Sirius had blamed himself for James' condition. He was a second late from putting up a shield and a curse had hit James square in the chest and he was knocked out cold. James was in the hospital for about 2 weeks before he could go back home.
His thoughts were interrupted as a brown owl entered from the kitchen window. He looked up and smirked 'Think of the devil…' The owl then came towards him and sat on the table. Sirius petted him and gave a slice of bacon from his plate. He then untied a small letter and looked to see a red seal with P written in between two swords. He recognized it as Potter family seal and opened the letter to read its content.
Hey Sirius,
There is a situation and we are in need of your help, sorry can't tell you the details in the letter. Come to the manor at the earliest.
Yours truly
James (Prongs)
His expressions quickly changed from a smirk to something between worry and frown. He knew there was a big problem as James had not written Padfoot, instead he went with just Sirius. He quickly went to the bathroom to take a bath and came down in half an hour, quickly dressed.
He then walked towards the fireplace and took some floo powder and threw it before saying POTTER MANOR loudly and disappeared in green flames.
He reappeared in potter manor's fireplace and came out cleaning his robes. He looked up to see Lily and James sitting on the sofa with a sad expression on their faces. They noticed him and gave a weak smile. He also returned one in return and sat beside James and asked "What happened mate? You seem miserable." James looked up to lily who nodded reassuringly. Before, anyone could have said something, Lily interrupted by asking "Would you like some tea" to which both the male nodded and she went inside the kitchen.
James weakly asked "Do you remember that raid on the ministry" to which Sirius nodded with a frown. James took a deep breath and said "Well.., the curse…umm… didn't hit me in the chest but a little lower…in the more…private area". Sirius was stunned to say. He was emotionless as he processed the information in his mind. His facial expression changes from a constipated look to sympathetic look to a smile and then few snickers and then a full blown laugh.
"Hahaha oh my god that's hilarious. You called me to give this information. Well prongs you sure know how to make a man laugh. Oh my god…hahaha…my stomach hurts" said Sirius, clutching his stomach with one hand and wiping a tear from another.
James was red from embarrassment. He looked down in shame then became angry as Sirius laughed uncontrollably. He then shouted "Are you ever serious? Do you even know the gravity of the situation?" to which Sirius replied with "But of course prongs I am always SIRIUS" and again broke out in hysterical laughter.
James had enough and so smacked up on Sirius' head. Sirius now thought that James was indeed serious so he chose to keep quite. Finally he regained himself and placed his hand on James' sulking and downtrodden form. "Sorry mate, I thought you were joking or something, Is everything alright?" Lily had come out of kitchen and stared at them indifferently.
James then spoke "Padfoot, I- I can no longer become a father. That curse made me infertile." To say at least, Sirius was stunned to the core. He never expected his best friend to say something like that. He always thought of playing with little pronglets and spoil them. He didn't say any words. 'I can no longer be a father' 'that curse made me infertile' were the only thoughts that were spinning in his mind. He just sat there staring at a wall. Lily came up to him and put a hand on his shoulder breaking him out of his trance.
He looked at her then at James and then at her again. The spoke in weak voice "Sorry to hear that mate, But in the letter you said that you need my help. What can I do, I don't know how to cure it." He stuttered.
James turned and looked at Lily and she nodded as to saying 'go ahead'. He then took a deep breath and said "Well Padfoot, you have been my best friend ever since I remember. I need your help in having a child" he looked at James and then at Lily who nodded and jumped out of sofa and shouted "How can you even think that mate? I can never do that THAT with lily of all people. For god sake she is your wife and like a sister to me!"
James stared at him with a confused expression and then realization hit him he too jumped and shouted "Oh you dimwit god forsaken troll! How can you even think I would ask you that? We have found a ritual where your seed will be planted in her womb with my blood by MEDIWITCHES. How thick can you get, you son of a half troll!"
Sirius stared at James for a second and realized his mistake and gave a shy sheepish grin. He looked at Lily who looked at him with red face and her expression was a mixture of embarrassment, rage and disbelief. He just laughed it off and said "okay prongs, whatever you need me for…uh I guess I should take my leave, owl me when you need Me." With that said he walked off rather quickly and flooed off to his home leaving two angered potters.
Lily turned to his husband and said "I just hope the child don't end up with his brain". James laughed and said "I too hope so." and hugged his wife.
(Time Skip: 31st July 1980)
Two figures were briskly walking outside the Operation Theatre of St. Mungo's . "How much time will it take Padfoot?" asked James looking at the clock on the opposite wall. "I don't know mate, the bloody mediwitches are taking a hell lot of time". They continued their walking. Another man who sat on one of the benches looked up from his book and shrugged. He then said "Calm down Prongs, Padfoot. It takes time. It's not like the baby would just apparate out of Lily".
"Oh shut up moony, what do you know about childbirths?" asked an irritated Sirius. Remus raised his book and showed it to his two friends. Both of them looked at the cover and shrugged. "What? Exclaimed Remus, he is my godson too. I thought I should read about the child birth at first place instead of panicking like you dunderheads."
The other two mauderers looked at each other and sweatdropped. "Oh moony remind me why you weren't sorted in the ravenclaw. You are such a bookworm." Their whole conversation was interrupted as a mediwitch walked out and handled a bundle to James. The other two quickly came by his side. James removed the covers slightly to see a tiny pale baby. All of them had tears in their eyes. The said child had black hairs with emerald green eyes. After 10 minutes James handed the baby to Sirius and went to check up on his wife.
It was truly the happiest moment in all of their lives.
(Time skip: 31st October 1980)
There was a huge commotion in 12 Grimauld Place. A tall man with long hair and long white beard was trying to calm Sirius down. "Tell me why the hell I can't guard my best friend and his family, Professor?"
"Sirius you must understand, you are too obvious and safety of the child is crucial for our victory. Voldemort knows that you will be the best choice for guarding and you know Peter isn't a bad choice. He will save the potters." Sirius gave a halfhearted nod and said "I am telling you professor, if this goes south…well let's say, it won't be good for you.
Suddenly alarms started buzzing and both the men became pale. The alarms were from wards outside Godric's Hollow where the Potters were hiding. This only meant one thing that the Dark Lord had somehow found the Potters and has entered the Godric's hollow to kill them. Both the men immediately apparated to the Godric's Hollow with rest of the Order. They rushed inside the house and walked upstairs in search of the family. When they reached Harry's room, they opened the door to see their greatest fear.
The Dark Lord was pointing his wand on the infant and was in middle of the curse. "KEDAVRA" they heard as a green light erupted from the wand rushing towards the boy. Everyone had their hearts in their throat. It happened so fast but everyone was seeing in it in slow motion as if the time stopped ticking.
The green jet of light reached the boy and was reflected back from a blue shield towards Voldemort. The light struck him and he dissipated into tiny molecules. And the baby started crying. They came over their shock, and looked over the bodies of James and Lily. Sirius walked slowly, dropped his wand and clutched his best friend and started crying. After 5 minutes of grieving process the red eyed man turned towards the man with long beard with rage and fury.
He stood up, wiped his tears and shouted "It's your entire fault, they are dead. Are you happy now? I lost my best friends because of you, my family is dead!" the man walked towards Sirius and placed a hand on his shoulder "Look Sirius"
"Don't utter a single word. I am DONE with you and the order, I lost my whole family because of this damn fued" Everyone became shocked as Sirius, one of their best was quitting the Order. After taking deep breaths he walked up to the crib and said "That's it Albus, I am going and taking my son with me."
Dumbledore immediately spoke "no- No you can't Sirius, young Harry may have defeated the Dark Lord but his followers are still out there. He would be safe with Lily's sister." It only angered Sirius more he then said "No Albus this is MY son and will always live with ME."
Dumbledore also moved towards the crib and went to pick the little boy up but was stopped by Sirius "Don't you dare touch him" Said Sirius in a dangerous edge in his voice but Dumbledore ignored him and bent a little in an attempt to hold the boy but was immediately met with an angry Sirius' fist.
There were many gasps. It isn't common for wizards to hit each other physically, but the overflow of emotions made Sirius do just that as he punched Dumbledore hard across the face. He then pointed a finger in front of the old wizard's face and said in a threatening voice "I said don't touch him".
He then picked Harry up and started moving out, after taking 2 steps he turned and said "Also, The House of Black refuse to side with the light or provide any sort of help to you or the Order." This followed another round of gasps and one brave man shouted "You can't do that" to which Sirius simply replied by "Watch me" and started moving out.
Albus finally cleaning a small amount of blood from his chin said "so that's it huh? You are going to join the one who killed your family? You are going to make harry join the one who killed his parents?"
Sirius turned and said "No, I am never going to join that bastard. Hereby as Lord Black I declare neutrality of The Most Ancient and Nobel House of Black". He then again started walking he opened the door of the house and said "And remember from this day forth he is not harry he is CORVUS SIRIUS BLACK heir to the The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black and MY SON". He then stormed out of the house never caring to look back.
