Sirius had been flying on his motorbike for a time, looking out at the dark sky ahead of him and swooping above or beneath the silver clouds periodically. It was Halloween, hundreds of witches and wizards in the villages below him were celebrating, drinking, chatting each other up... And he was off to an unknown destiny, most likely a terrbily disappointing and lonely one. He was late for his meeting with Dumbledore and all thoughts of it caused a shiver to run down his spine. Remus couldn't be the traitor, he just couldn't. Sirius dipped down below the cloudline to see where he was. A clump of trees lay beneath him, tiny streaks of brown running between the trees and up to large white homes, and one in particular. The Potters'.
He frowned slightly, slowing down a bit. Maybe he should stop and check on James and Lilly, something felt wrong. The air was unnaturally thick, and the moon was a little less bright then it had been a moment before. Sirius looked down at his watch. He was already late, and Dumbledore was a very busy man. Reluctantly, Sirius pulled back up and with one last glance down at the house, he turned back into the cool night. Then several things happend in one instant. Sirius let off the brake, a thunderous crash sounded from the trees below, and he was blinded by green light.
Disoriented and temporarily blinded, He swung the bike around and pulled up as hard as he could. Sirius flew up above the green-tinted clouds for a few seconds until he had found his head. Something was definitely wrong. He dipped back down below and almost lost his grip because of the scene that greeted him.
The large house was reduced to a pile of wood and stone, and a large green skull was fading out of the night sky. Smoke floated eerily up to where he hovered and there was a foul smell on the wind. He sped to the ground, nearly jumping off of his bike as soon as it touched down. He threw off his helmet and began searching frantically through the rubble.
"James? Lilly!?" he screamed the names, digging through piles of splintered planks and crumbled rocks. His heart was racing at an alarming velocity and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Just as he was giving up on his quest, he saw a mop of unruly black hair covered with ash and dust.
"Prongs?" he asked uncertainly, walking over to the still form. James Potter lay in the ruins, eyes staring unblinkingly at the dark sky. Sirius choked back a scream and turned away quickly, nausea gripping his stomach. He stood for a moment, trying to take in the fact that James was lying dead a few feet away. Memories flooded his head and he sat down, sobbing. James was dead. After he regained some of his composure he began looking for Lilly.
"Lil?" he called out, searching the ground for green eyes or red hair. He found both behind another pile of wood. Lilly lay unmoving, her wand a few feet away. Sirius sobbed again and bent down next to her, trying in vain to make her move. He crawled away from her and brought his knees up to his chest, crying erratically.
This wasn't supposed to happen. All of the charms and security spells on the house, all of the planning and consideration. Dumbledore had done each one HIMSELF for crying out loud. They'd been tested and re-tested! There was only one way Voldemort could've gotten into that house.
Sirius jumped up, his face suddenly red.
"Peter!" he growled the name fiercly. Of course, it was so obvious. It was Peter who was betraying Lilly and James! It was Peter who had given in to Voldemort! It was Peter's fault they were dead! Peter killed James and Lilly and... Sirius' blood ran cold.
"Harry!" he almost fell with the impact of his own thoughts. He raced back to the scene of destruction, averting his eyes from the two prone bodies. "Harry!" he called again and again until he was answered.
"I've got him here Sirius!"
Hagrid stood, a dark bundle in his arms, tears tumbling down his red cheeks and into a messy beard. "I've got him..." he repeated. Sirius ran over to him and lifted the top of the blanket to find baby Harry blinking up at him, a red gash on his forehead.
"Oh thank Merlin!" Sirius cried, hugging the tiny child to him. Hagrid was shaking terribly, but his grip on Harry was not ebbing.
"Please, give him to me!" Sirius sobbed, his hands out to receive the child. Hagrid looked at him for a moment then said,
"I can't Sirius, I'm sorry-" Sirius looked furious.
"WHAT D'YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T? I'm his legal GUARDIAN for fuck's sake!" Hagrid shook his head.
"I can't... Dumbledore's orders." Sirius bit back his next words. Dumbledore. Yes, he'd take care of Harry, make sure he was alright... And Sirius would take care of Peter. He nearly grinned at the thought of his revenge.
"Alright, take my bike... It'll be much more quick travelling that way." Hagrid smiled sadly at him.
"Thank you Sirius. We'll go now... You could go with us." Sirius smiled bitterly and then shook his head.
"No, I'll be around shortly... I have some things to do." Hagrid looked at him quizzically but shrugged and mounted the motorbike without another word. Sirius stood and watched them fly out of sight.
"Yes... I'll take care of Peter."
