A/N This is about the characters from the story: James + Lily=Hate...Right? This story will probably be easier to understand if you read that first. This story is about Madelyn and Sirius. Please R/R!!!!


Sirius watched Lily and James fly off on the broomstick. He chuckled when he read the sign trailing off the broom's twigs-Just married, Finally. He and Maddie made it. Sirius looked over at Maddie. She was smiling dreamily at Lily and James as they flew off to their honeymoon.
She is so gorgeous, Sirius thought, taking in her delicately curled hair and light pink dress.
As if sensing that Sirius was looking at her, Maddie turned toward him.
"I'm so happy for them," she said, grinning.
"Yea me too," agreed Sirius.
"Nice speech by the way," Maddie added giggling, "All about their fights."
"Yea, well at least I didn't insult the bride and groom on their tempers!" laughed Sirius.
"Well, it's true, isn't it? You'd think James is a red head too!"
Sirius and Maddie hooked arms and stumbled to the refreshment table.

That was the last time they talked for quite a while. Maddie went to America to work in a candy shop that she called affectionately Padfoot's Place. Sirius worked in the Ministry of Magic in a compartment dedicated to locating Dark Art objects. They lost touch over the sea, both involved in their jobs. They never went out on dates with other people because it didn't feel right.

Maddie woke up early on a dreary and rainy morning. She fed her cat and put on a bath robe. Maddie walked outside to grab the newspaper, but gasped when she saw the front page with Lily and James Potter's faces on it. The article underneath his picture read:

Lily and James Potter were found dead last night due to an attack made by You-Know-Who. Their home in Godric's Hollow was completely destroyed. Ministry workers found Harry Potter, their son, still living. Harry was discovered on the floor with an odd, lightning shape bolt scar on his forehead. Investigators think You-Know-Who tried to murder him, but didn't have success. People are mystified over how this boy lived.
Dedalus Diggle told reporters, "This boy is obviously caused the downfall of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. I mean if Harry was not killed by him...REJOICE!"
A more reliable source states, "According to our research of the area, it seems that You-Know-Who tried to kill the young Harry, but didn't succeed in doing so. It also seems that You-Know-Who lost his powers in the process."
Although this is something to party about, we won't forget about the beloved James and Lily Potter. They died in the hands of the Dark Lord. And we mustn't forget Harry Potter-The Boy Who Lived.

Maddie dropped the newspaper, feeling ill. Her dearest friends. Her mind traveled back to the wedding. She shakily stumbled back inside her house and sat on the couch, head in her hands. Her shoulders trembled and she burst out in tears.
An hour later she stood up and apparated to her friend Kate's house. Kate lived in France and taught at Beauxbatons Academy as a Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Maddie found Kate staring at a wall, the same newspaper article next to her.
"Kate?" said Maddie hesitantly.
"Thank God you're here, Maddie! Lily! James!" Kate said, her voice quavering.
"I know," Maddie whispered, "I want to kill Voldemort, put him through as much pain possible. He killed the best people in the world."
Kate flinched at Voldemort's name but didn't say anything. She had silent tears pouring down her face.
The two girls hugged and Maddie apparated back home.

Two days passed when Maddie was again shocked my the newspaper. She stared down at it again. Yup, she wasn't dreaming. Sirius Black was on the front cover and the words "Charged with murder" and "Sent to Azkaban" met her eyes. She slowly read the article, disbelieving.

Sirius Black, a Ministry of Magic Worker, is charged with murder. He is believed to be responsible of the death of Lily and James Potter. He was their Secret-Keeper which is someone who knows if a person in hidings location. As long as the person never tells the location, then those people are safe. James and Lily knew You-Know-Who was after them so they went into hiding and appointed Black as their Secret-Keeper. Less than a week passed and the spy Black told the Dark Lord of their location.
Black is also charged with the murder of thirteen people with a single curse in broad daylight in Muggle streets. Ministry workers struggle to cover this up, telling the Muggles a gas explosion took place. Black is to be sent to Azkaban without a trial.
Maddie didn't go to Kate's house this time. In fact, she didn't go anywhere at all. She just stood in her driveway, in slippers, staring at Sirius's face. And wondering how it could be true.
