Author's Notes:
I'll be uploading the first 5 chapters to this story, and unless people review, that is it, because I am posting this here just for you guys. A hint, go to my website to read more of my stories, and be the first to catch a new chapter, since they go there first.
If you've read Quidditch Through The Ages you can tell me the Nimbus line was created in 1967 so, that is what year it is! Therefore, 1967 Sirus is 15, they graduate in 1969 and then Harry is born 1980, when James and Lily are 28 years old. Making Sirus and Snape in the next HP book 43. Get it? Got it? Good! I know they seem old, but wizards live longer (usually) then muggles, so they are still young!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I do own however, the families of the Marauders, some of the teachers, and Kimball Zenobia (who comes in later) Also, my fellow RPGer Morgan owns Xanthe Shannon, and is allowing me to use her in this story (and up-coming ones of this series)
This story is based on an RPG called Before the Downfall (http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/beforethedownfall)
Last, thanks to my editors Morgan, and Ramika!

Chapter 2 - Godric Hollow
Sirus paced across the small living room. It was already 4:30. James was late. James was never late. He glanced at his watch again. Where was he?
Talon walked into the living room looking smug. "Those Potter's don't know what the meaning of on time means do they?" he commented.
Sirus held his tongue, not wanting to start a fight right before he left. He sunk down in a chair and looked at his watch. 4:31 pm it blinked at him.
Talon chuckled softly. "Sirus my boy, your mother and I wanted to tell you how proud we are of you. Despite your frequent visits to the headmaster's office, you've done excellent in most classes. As well as you are a stunning seeker." he paused. "So we decided to give you a little going away present, in hopes we will receive less owl's from Professor Dumbledore this year." he handed Sirus a long box.
Sirus looked at it quizzically. He never received any presents from his father. And if this was what he though it was....
"A Nimbus 1000!" Sirus exclaimed opening the box. "But how, these aren't even on the market yet!" the Nimbus 1000 was the greatest broomstick ever to be created, perfect for any professional Quidditch player.
Talon chuckled. "Well, a fellow I work with got this to test out. He isn't much of a flyer, so he gave it to me." he looked seriously at Sirus. "Now, you better take good care of this broom. And I want you to write me ever month on how it works, so I can keep the Nimbus company updated."
"Gee, thanks dad." Sirus gave him a hug. "I will!" Sirus stood staring at the wonder in his hand.
"Well boy, put it away. That friend of yours should be here any second." Talon exclaimed, still taken aback by Sirus calling him dad. Sirus had called him father for as long as he could remember. The 2 of them had never really been close. Talon sighed.
Just as Sirus closed his trunk, the fire in the living lit up brightly. Out stepped James Potter. "Sirus!" he exclaimed while brushing off the ashes from his robes. "Hello Mr. Black." he politely greeted Talon, who nodded at him.
"Ready to go?" He asked Sirus, who was looking rather happy. James didn't blame him, he knew that life was tough for Sirus at home.
"Sure, let's going." he paused. Giving Talon a quick hug he said, "Bye dad, I'll write soon." He grabbed his trunk, and dipped his hand into the Floo Powder jar. Jumping into the fire he called out "Godric Hollow!" Sirus disappeared from site, followed shortly by James.
He stepped out of the fire into the familiar kitchen at the Potter's home. "Hello Sirus!" A sweet voice chimed. "It's nice to see you again."
"Hello Mrs. Potter." Sirus greeted Carmen Potter who was sitting at the table, not surprised to see him at all. James stumbled out after Sirus, knocking him onto the floor.
"Whoops, sorry buddy!" He said brushing himself off. Floo Powder was a terribly dirty way to travel.
"No problem bro." Sirus laughed. It was good to be back. This was more home then his real one was any day. "Help me get this trunk to our room, I gots something to show you." They hosted the trunk up and headed up the back stairs.
James's family was the opposite of Sirus's. Where Sirus never had money to spend, James did, and lot's of it. He always had the top of the line stuff. Well, until now. Sirus chuckled. There was no way James could have a better broomstick then him. There were only 50 test brooms made, and they were all over the world. And Sirus Black had one in his trunk right now.
"Okay, spill." James said flopping onto his bed.
"Spill what?" Sirus said, playing dumb.
"Why you calling your father dad? You never call him dad." James stated matter of factly.
"Oh that." Sirus said smiling. "Well, lemme show you." He flipped open his trunk, and with drew his new broomstick.
"A Nimbus 1000?" James exclaimed, much like Sirus's own reaction. Sirus nodded. "Where'd you get it?" James narrowed his eyes. "This isn't a joke is it?"
"No, my father got it from a guy he works with. I'm testing it out." Sirus explained smugly. "Of course it isn't a joke!" him and James were known pranksters, and even played tricks on each other.
"Wow, a Nimbus 1000." James's ran his hand across the shaft. "There are only 50 of these in the world right now." Sirus nodded. "Have you tested it yet?"
"Nope, got it minutes before you arrived." Sirus replied. "But common, let's test is now!" Sirus grabbed the broom and sprinted out the door, heading for the small pitch behind the Potter's home.
