A/N: Hey everyone don't worry I'm still going to update my other fics eventually but college starts Monday and so updating will be slow but I won't give up on any of my stories. I hope you all like this one. Thank you for reviews in advance on this and any of my other stories.


"H-How many are gone?" Severus whispered and Albus turned to see the distraught young man beside him.

"Out of the nine that were in there five dead, and the other four only survived because they were with their mothers." Albus admitted and Severus started retching before he could stop himself.

"Easy, easy my boy. This is not your fault, Severus." Albus soothed and Severus shook his head.

"I was too late. I didn't get to you in time. What good is my spying if I cannot protect the children? I-I can't do this anymore." Severus whispered and Albus gently lowered him onto a nearby bench.

"I know, I know." Albus soothed.


Meanwhile Sirius appeared at Lily and James with scorch marks on his clothes and blood running down his face.

"Padfoot, what happened?" James questioned sitting the man down.

"Death eater raids are happening everywhere tonight. The hospital, Ministry official's homes, Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley. I-I tried to stop it, but I couldn't." Sirius whispered brokenly and James's eyes widened.

"What about the baby?" James inquired looking at Sirius closely.

"D-dead." Sirius sobbed and Padfoot pulled him into a hug.

"Oh, Padfoot. I'm so sorry." James murmured as he held him close.

"I-I can't go home. What do I do?" Sirius demanded and James directed him to the stairs and into the room at the beginning of the hall.

"You stay here of course. I-I know it'll be hard to see your Godson for a while, but..." James trailed off and Sirius shook his head.

"No. No I can't James, and I can't be his Godfather anymore. This is all your fault. He's hunting children because of that stupid prophecy. My child wasn't even born in July and he's still targeting children because the only part that was told to him was that a child with a power to vanquish him would belong to those that had thrice defied him. Half of freaking Britain has thrice defied him and now you've put all our children in danger. You, Lily, that snitch, and Dumbledore are the reason my child is dead. As far as I'm concerned we no longer know each other...and I revoke the protection of House Black from this property. If Riddle comes for you then you can defend him alone. My family is ruined because of you and now I have to face my wife knowing I couldn't protect our child." Sirius hissed and then he took off storming out of the house.

As the protections of House Black dissipated the fate of the Potters were sealed. It wouldn't happen for another year, but on Halloween 1981 they would meet their end and their son would become an orphan.
