Growing up Marauder-Chapter two
A tired Sirius Potter-Black closed the large black door of his Ancestral home on Grimmauld place. He has spent the better part of the past twenty-four hours cooped up in his parent's chambers at his father's bedside, waiting for what he knew had been coming.
As they had waited out the last few hours of the life Orion Black, many things had happened. The main thing and probably the most shocking to Sirius being one of Orion's last Dyeing wishes. He had reinstated his eldest only living son as Heir to the Black family, something that angered his wife Walburga greatly.
As he walked further down the street to the Apparition point Sirius still couldn't believe all that had transpired. He couldn't wait to return home, and reveal all to James and Lily. Getting more and more eager at the thought of seeing his family, he sped up to a brisk walk and Appariting without stopping, the moment he felt the Apparition wards lift.
The moment he landed, Sirius knew there was something seriously wrong. Being Halloween he knew that the streets should have been filled with laughing children, and concerned yet content parents. Yet there wasn't a soul insight. Fear taking over his entire being Sirius began running in the direction of his home, praying to whatever god, he could think of that his family was still safe.
The moment he passed the edge of the boundary lines of the Fidelius he stopped dead. Eye's wide, he stared at what was once is beloved home, for their in front of him stood the small white cottage, with one side of the second floor blown apart. Shaking off his shock Sirius tour through the blasted front door, and screamed for his husband, begging him to answer his call.
"JAMES" Sirius pleaded desperately. "James please, where are you?" No answer came to his calls, as he continued through the dust and debris, and entered the hallway.
There laid sprawled out on the hardwood flooring was his beloved husband. Dashing to his side, Sirius shook him, demanding he be alright. Quickly he checked for a pulse relieved to feel the faint thump, thump rhythm on his wrist.
His relief was short lived however, when suddenly there was a yelling coming from the wreckage on the second story.
"Hadrian" he breathed as he stood immediately. Climbing the broken stairs with difficulty, he made his way agonisingly slowly up to his beloved son's nursery. Where he could see his baby boy, clutching the bars of his upside down crib caging him and protecting him from the danger of the collapsed roof above him. Removing the pseudo cage from atop his son he snatched him from the ground carefully and cuddled him to his chest, tears falling from his eyes.
'They're both alive' was all he could think of, cuddling his baby to him. He couldn't believe that they had made out alive.
As he looked around the Nursery, more tears fells when his eyes came upon a blanket of red hair hidden under what used to be Hadrians chest of Drawers. He closed his eyes momentarily, trying to get some resemblance of control over his emotions knowing his son needed him, at the moment.
Sighing as he took another sweep of the room, eyes never straying to where he knew Lily to be, and spotted his sons favorite stuffed toys, a Stag and a black dog. Picking them up along with his Green blanket with his Initials HCPB he turned and left the Nursery, and head back down to his husband.
He had just reached the first floor landing when more yelling, was herd, this time coming from outside. As the yelling got louder, and closer, he was able to distinguish, both his and his husbands names being repeated over and over, in a familiar accented voice.
Hagrid was here.
"In here Hagrid" he called back kneeling once again by James' side, Hadrian still held securely to his chest. Through the blasted door way strode a giant of a man with friendly yet fearful black eyes and a scraggly beard. Rubeus Hagrid, also known as the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts ran towards the family on the hallway floor.
"Sirius, what happened, where's Lily?" he demanded concern and fear both noticeable in his shaky voice.
Unable to look away from his husband in front of him, Sirius quickly explained what happened, starting first with making Peter their secret keeper only a week prior, to getting a flu call about his father the day before, and coming home to the attack on his family. While he was explaining, neither noticed, another man enter the front door.
This man was tall, and held power that was easily recognised by any witch or wizard. Albus Dumbledore watched and listened with eyes void of their usual twinkle. After sending a quick Patronus to the Ministry and St Mungo's he strode towards the group and placed a hand lightly on Sirius shoulder.
The next few hours passed in a blur to Sirius. The Aurors had come and questions him before setting out immediately; to hunt down and capture Peter Pettigrew, Having been informed of his unregistered status as an Animegus, beforehand. James had been moved to St. Mungo's semi-Permanent ward. Sirius had packed what was salvageable of their belongings, and taken Hadrian back to Black Family Manor in Wiltshire, where they would remain, under ever Black family ward Sirius could think of.
While all this was going on witches and Wizards were celebrating Across Britain, Swapping stories, writing loved ones, and raising their glasses "To Hadrian Canis Potter-Black The-Boy-Who-Lived.
