I decided to add more chapters...


Sirius has always considered James his brother. The Potters had taken him in when his own family had disowned him. They became animagi so they could spend full moons with Remus and had been mischievous in the halls of Hogwarts together. So when James announced that he planned to bond with Lily Evans, he had no objections. Well, none he would voice.

While James had been falling in love with Lily, so had Sirius. He loved the way her long crimson hair fell in her face when she studied. He loved the way her emerald eyes would shine with fury when they taunted Snivellus. He loved the way her whole face seemed to light up when she laughed. He loved her, pure and simple, but she would never be his. He loved James enough that he would break his own heart so his brother could be happy.

He doubted, had he not been sent to Azkaban, that he would have ever bonded. No witch could replace Lily. When he escaped and started spending time with Harry, he loved him doubly. As the offspring of the woman he loved and the brother he lost, his godson was the only piece of them he had left. And when he died, he died laughing, because even though he was leaving Harry, he knew he would soon be joining the two people who had left him less than whole.


Hope you enjoyed it.
