Sudden Changes
---------------------------------------

Time seemed to have decided to run backwards, for it was impossible that it had only been two minutes since he last looked at the watch when it appeared to have been hours.

Never in his life had he so strongly desired for his birthday to arrive, and to be quite frank about it, he didn't even know the reason for such feelings. But there was just something… something inside him was screaming, telling him that an important occurrence would happen as soon as the clock his twelve o'clock. The last few weeks clearly pointed it out to him. He could feel these changes in his body, his mind and his magic.

The only thing he didn't know was if this change would be for the better or for the worse…one could never know with Harry Potter.

As his eyes moved with the ticking of his clock time seemed endless. It appeared to be dragging itself on purpose, as if it knew what would happen as soon as it's long hand reached twelve o'clock and wished to stop it. It was to no avail, however, as a new day was dawning, much to the expectation of one lone boy.

5 seconds.

4. 3. 2. 1…

But he didn't see the hand reach twelve nor did he hear the bells of the old grandfather clock strike downstairs, for Harry Potter was lying unconscious on the floor.

A sudden pain had hit him and spread all over his body so fast that he barely had time to blink before he was out cold. Was this what he was so restlessly waiting for?

Not such a far distance away, a black haired man fell to his knees as a sudden pain hit him. It was no physical pain, and yet the impression it left upon his mind was as if something had attempted to enter and leave it simultaneously. A few seconds had passed and only a lingering headache was left as a remembrance of the event.

Lifting his head, his dark grey eyes are clearly seen, looking worried yet unfocused at something only he could see.

FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED!
---------------------------------------------------------

To start with, as some will notice my adorable sister and I are making a major re-write in this story. Hopefully we shall not only improve it but be able to finally finish it after all these years! Cheers It has been almost two years since I started this story and I found it extremely lacking in some aspects, thus the re-write. We hope it is worth the effort.

To those who are new, here is the challenge which prompted me to start this story:

1) Sirius is Harry's father.

2) How did this happen? Did Lily cheat on James? Or, did James know all along and did Lily truly love Sirius? You must explain what happened to get Lily and Sirius together.

3) Harry must be 15 years old when Sirius tells him. Does Sirius send a letter to Harry OR does he tell Harry in person? What does Harry think? Is he mad at Sirius or is he happy that his father is alive?

4) Answer this question: why does Harry look like James? Are James and Sirius related or was a charm placed on Harry to look like James?

5) At the top of your story, post that it's in response to Prongs' "Sirius is Harry's Father / Het Version" Challenge.

As you can see, this will obviously be AU from the fifth book, so nothing that happens in books 5, 6 and 7 will affect the story much.

Until next time,

Hell's Angel & Heaven's Demon
