Chapter 2: Dumbledore's Mistake

Sweet wrappers and lollipop sticks lay scattered in the road and on the sidewalks. Crickets chirped and an owl hooted. A cat roamed the streets, taking licks of leftover candy and batting at the wrappers. And in the distance, a faint sound could be heard. It turned into a quiet buzzing, only to grow to a loud roar the closer it came to the street. If a muggle had been out and about, they would have believed they had too much to drink, for suddenly a man on a flying motorcycle appeared in the sky only to descend and land his bike on the street.

Sirius Black had promised to visit the Potter family tonight, but was running late. He had run into a young man on his way over and had flirted for too long before finally making excuses (but not before getting the man's number). Ever since Remus had gone on his mission, the two had grown further apart and Sirius was not one to sit and wait so he had told Remus he needed time, and then flung himself head first into the dating scene again. He missed Moony a lot, but he also know that Remus needed to focus on his mission, and Sirius was only a distraction.

Finally, he parked in front of the house and made his way inside. He stopped dead when he saw James on the floor. Crying in anguish, he ran up the stairs, hoping that Lily and the twins were alright. When he reached the nursery he stopped in his tracks. The boys were whimpering, tears in their eyes as they tugged on their unconscious mother's hair. Sirius picked them up and rocked them gently, trying to calm them even though he wanted to join them in their grief. He could tell Lily and James were not dead, but something was seriously wrong with them. Sirius smiled slightly as two pairs of eyes shut and the twins fell back asleep. Placing them back in their crib, he kissed each child on the cheek before turning away and clenching his fists. This was all Peter's fault. He would avenge his friends.

Knowing the Order was likely on their way, he got back on his bike and flew to the town he knew Peter lived and made his way to the traitors' house. Black traits showing, Sirius pounded on the door, shouting for Peter to open up and face his fate like a man. When no one opened the door, it was blown open. Sirius searched the house thoroughly before growling in anger and switching to his dog form. Hopefully Peter had been here recently enough so Padfoot could pick up a scent. The black dog yipped in victory as he picked up a fresh scent and tore out of the house.

Padfoot ran down alleys and streets, twisting and turning as he followed the scent that kept getting stronger. He howled in victory when he saw the man in the distance. Turning back into a man, Sirius pulled out his wand and shouted "Stupefy" causing the rat to drop to the ground. Laughing madly the animagus approached his former friend.

"Not the brightest tool in the shed are you Peter. I suppose you thought you could just run away. Did you think you could outrun the guilt? You will never be able to. It will haunt you forever. Just like I will. You really thought you could escape me? Never. I will always find you. Well, I would have always found you. But for the Potter's to be safe you need to die. So I'm sorry Peter, but this is goodbye". Sirius raised his wand again and pointed it at Peter who had opened his eyes partway through the speech and was looking at Sirius in fear.

"What are the words again? You would know wouldn't you, you filthy death eater. I don't know how you can even be called human you sniveling coward" Sirius murmured softly.

"Oh ya, Avada Kedavra" He whispered in Peter's ear. Wormtail's eyes widened in horror and he blubbered and pleaded for Sirius to reconsider.

"Please Sirius. I had no choice! He was going to kill me! Please old friend!" and just as Sirius was about to cast the curse, a muggle shouted something. Sirius looked up only to notice he had gained an audience. Muggles surrounded the two wizards. However this would not deter him. Peter had to die. Ignoring the muggles, he turned back to Peter. This was his biggest mistake. One of the muggles had decided to take action, and had thrown a rock at his hand. Sirius's wand was knocked out of his hand and Peter took his chance and pounced on it. Grinning manically he laughed and then whispered to Sirius.

"When I blast you and all these filthy muggles into millions of pieces, I want the last thing you think about is how you failed Lily and James. How you failed Harry and Tyler. And know that muggles are the cause of your defeat". With a final cackle, Peter suddenly schooled his features back to the frightened one from before.

"How could you Sirius! How could you kill your best friends? Lily and James, Sirius!" He sobbed out.

"WHAT! HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME!" Sirius shouted, the wind picking up around him. However Peter was not to be deterred. Noticing that Peter was raising the stolen wand, Sirius snapped. Images of James and Lily laying on the floor, and Harry and Tyler crying driving him, he let out a howl of rage and charged forwards. However he wasn't quick enough. Wormtail raised his wand and muttered a dark curse no one could hear. Sirius was lifted off his feet and he landed some twenty feet away on top of a car. Groaning, he gingerly lifted his head and peered around himself. Blood lingered in the air, he had looked up just in time to see a rat scampering into the bars of a drain surrounded by dead muggles. Sirius collapsed onto the ground, tears running down his face.

"I'm sorry Prongs…so sorry" he croaked before passing out to know no more.

It was surely hours later that he awoke to find himself sentenced to life in Azkaban without a trial. Fate was surely against him. But he would survive. He could stay strong so he could one day escape and see his godsons once more and avenge his friends.

Cut

When Dumbledore had first heard the prophecy, he had hoped against hope it would not come to this. He had placed a ward on the house that would alert him if anything untoward happened. The Order of the Phoenix had been in the middle of a meeting when the alarm went off. Remus had immediately stood up and ran out the room, the rest of the order not far behind. Dumbledore had arrived to see nothing out of the ordinary. The house still stood. That was positive. However something must have happened for the wards to sound. He watched as Remus ran into the house. A howl broke through the night. Alarmed, Dumbledore led the way, the rest of the order following, as they entered the house. Remus was knelt next to his friend, cradling him in his arms. Tears were running down his face as he looked up at Albus.

"He's still alive! Help him Albus, please!" Albus nodded gravely and did a scan, only to stop short when nothing came up. His brow furrowed in frustration and he tried again. When nothing happened he sighed.

"I'm so sorry Remus, he will have to be taken to St. Mungos. Nothing is showing on the scans". Remus nodded sadly and released James as Minerva levitated the man and disappeared out the door. Suddenly Remus jumped up.

"The boys!" he yelled and hurried up the stairs. Albus followed him. The scene they came upon stunned them. Lily was on the ground in the nursery, in the same condition as her husband. Behind her was pile of robes and ashes along with a wand. The two boys were fast asleep and if Dumbledore hadn't known any better, he would have though nothing had happened. However as he and Remus approached them, he could see a lightning bolt scar on their forehead. It was in that moment that Albus knew Tom Riddle had been temporarily defeated and the prophecy had held true.

Now Albus was not a bad man. In fact, many people believed him to be the best kind of man. However he was only human (if a bit more magical) and humans make mistakes. When he had seen the state Remus was in, along with his suspicions about Sirius Black, he had done the only thing he could think. He had taken the boys to Lily's sisters' house. Albus knew that she wasn't the friendliest of people, but Petunia had been close with her sister (enough to beg him to allow her into Hogwarts) that Albus felt he could over look her shortcomings. Plus, she had recently had a son a well so she would know how to care for a child.

It was with this in mind that he carried the twins out of the house and placed them in a conjured basket. He quickly wrote a note for Petunia and her husband, then apparated to Number 4 Privet Drive. The headmaster placed the basket on the doorstep, then quickly left to recover the situation and announce that Voldemort had been defeated by the boys-who-lived.

And so, one of the most powerful wizards made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. Hours later, Petunia would open the door to retrieve the milk only to be met with the curious gaze of toddlers. The wonderful life the boys had previously led was destroyed after that night and many years in the future, Dumbledore would curse himself for allowing the twins to be put in the Dursley's care.
