This story is a rewrite of the first book and is the first of a series.It will have some characters that are owned by me and then the originals.However Harry and Hermione will be different to what they are like in the books so watch out.
Halloween 1981:
The young man ran through the house looking for any signs of life and began calling out frantically,"Lily-James-answer me please!" he cried as he ran into the main bedroom where a horrific site awaited him.
On the floor nearest to the door he saw a man with long jet black hair and sharp brown eyes laying face down with a determined look on his face.Typical James! the man thought sadly before looking across the room to see a familiar red head leaning over the cot trying to protect the sleeping child.Poor Lily! he thought as he bit back the tears and made his way across the room to the child.
The bastard will pay for this!he thought grimly as he picked up the child whose forehead was now dented with a lightning bolt scar in the middle.The man made to walk out of the room but turned around to look at the scene once more."Don't worry about Harry you guys-i'll make sure he knows about how you sacrificed yourselves so that he could live and i promise you now that he will have the best upbringing i can give him!"he declared with determination before heading out of the house.
When he stepped out of the house he looked for a safe spot to apparate from before leaving the scene behind.
Black manor:
A loud pop could be heard from the main room as a young woman jumped up from her seat,holding her wand steadily as she went to investigate.Her heart broke in two at the sight before her-a man with long brown hair and haunted eyes sat on the couch holding a small baby with jet black hair and a scar on his forehead.
She approached the man with caution before kneeling down and taking one of his hands in her own."Sirius!Sirius!" she said tentatively."Whats wrong?Where are Lily and James?" she asked in a concerned tone.
Sirius turned to face her, tears running freely down his own."They're gone." he said in a broken tone.He started to squeeze her hand in desperation as he spoke,"Thalia-we need to look after Harry-its what they would of wanted-he-he can stay in Tams' room for now until we sort out a room for him." in a panicked tone.Thalia rubbed his back and nodded in agreement before gently prying the baby away and moving towards the stairs.
The little baby opened his eyes and looked at the strange lady before giggling at her.Thalia looked down at him smiling before she began to talk,"Hey little guy-this is gunna be your new home" she said in a soft reassuring tone before placing him down in the cot next to his friend Tam, who squealed with delight when she saw him.The woman laughed softly before singing a song that told them it was time to go to sleep:
"Nighty night,
My sweetie pies.
Sweet dreams,
Till morning light.
Close your eyes,
And hold on tight,
And sweet dreams,
You'll have tonight.
Nightie night,
My sweetie pies.
Sweet dreams,
Till morning light."
She heard somebody clapping softly behind her and ensuring that both children were asleep she turned around to greet her husband with a sweet kiss."Your a natural you know." he said in a soft tone before setting a look of determination on his face."We'll have to train them both you know-cos evil doesn't stay dead for long.And we'll have to warn Harry about how famous he'll be in that two-faced-back-stabbing-wizarding-world!" he said in a sarcastic tone.
Thalia held him close and whispered softly in his ear,"Don't worry i know." They both stood there taking whatever comfort they could get from each other for what seemed like hours before Sirius pulled back and kissed his wife's head.
"I have to go out." he said grimly.
Thalia nodded,"Okay but don't go out causing any trouble Sirius Black or you'll be in trouble!" she said in a mock scolding tone.The man laughed at her antics before replying,
"Okay i won't.." he paused for a moment as he began to walk away before adding,"Unless trouble finds me!" in a cheeky tone and before his wife could say another word he apparated out.
"Oh i don't doubt that." she grumbled before heading off to bed.
Somewhere in London:
A short fat man with over grown nails and large teeth looked around nervously as if expecting somebody to jump out of a corner and attack him."Well at least we know why your animagus was a rat hey Peter!" an angry voice called out from behind Peter,who turned around in shock.
"Sirius-how-what do you mean?" he asked in a squeaky tone.Sirius's eyes lit up with a burning passion as he backed Peter into a corner.
"You ratted them out Peter-how could you do that to your friends-to Harry?" he asked enraged.
"I didn't mean to-bu-but the dark lord-he was very powerful and persuasive-he would of killed me!" Peter replied in a scared tone.Sirius whipped out his wand and was about to cast a spell when Peter smiled widely and disappeared from sight as the whole street blew up.
"You bastard!" Sirius said angrily as he looked around to see aurors surrounding him.Shit!he thought angrily as he apparated to gringotts bank.He ran in and went to the nearest goblin,"I need to speak to Griphook immediately!" he said in a stressed tone looking around wildly.The goblin nodded in annoyance and hurried off to find the boss.
"Mr Black, would you like to come to my office so we can talk." said a cold and sarcastic voice.The man turned round to see Griphook leading the way down a long dark corridor and followed him down.
"What can i do for you then?" the goblin asked in an impatient tone.Sirius sat down and took a deep breath before explaining everything that had happened over the last 48 hours.At the end of the tale Griphook nodded his head in an understanding way,"Here is a list of everything you own and this is a list of what the Potters owned.It will go to Mr Potter once he is old enough to understand however." he said in a warning tone as he handed over the documents.As Sirius was about to leave however Griphook called him back into the office."Dumbledore called by earlier wishing for Mr Potters documents.I told him i was going to look over them first but i cant hand them out if they're already gone" he said mischeviously winking at Sirius who winked back.Sirius walked out of the office and apparated back to the manor.
Black Manor:
Thalia was in the nursery playing with the children when Sirius came running in with a panicked expression on his face.She made sure that the children were occupied and then shooed her husband out of the room."What an earth are you playing at?Do you want to scare the children?" she said in a scolding tone.Sirius shook his head before explaining what had taken place since he had left the Manor earlier on.By the time he had finished retelling the events that took place his wife had tears in her eyes before she slapped him hard across the face.
"Bloody hell woman-what was that for?" he asked in an annoyed tone whilst rubbing his cheek.
"That Sirius Black was for getting us all into this trouble and because Lily never let you get away with it so i won't either." she snapped."Now we'd better get some things together because i don't think that this is a safe place for the children anymore!" she said making her way to the nursery with Sirius slouching on behind her with a frown on his face.Jees James-you could of stayed and give me some support! he thought moodily before entering the nursery and greeting the children.
