Hey all I've been trying to get another chapter up for a while, but I've had exams in school and have more next week so bare with me please. I'm trying to make the chapters longer too, but so far the places where I have ended seem good places to end. Hope you enjoy this chapter! I liked your new chapter Thea please keep writing because it's so good!
Disclaimer: I hate doing these because it's just not fair I don't own any of it except the plot! (God damn it!)
Chapter 3 - Let me take him please!
As Sirius search through the rubble for signs of life, hoping to find something, but dreading to think what it may look like when he did find ... if he found anything. Something reflected the moonlight and caught his eye; he bent down and picked it up. It was their Hogwarts graduation photograph him, James, Lily, Remus and Peter. He smiled at it thinking back to when this photo was taken. He looked along still smiling half sorrow, half joy fill him. But suddenly stopped smiling when his eyes meet Peter and he started to scowl, when he remember why his best friends where dead.
'Its because of you, it's your fault Peter.' He looked up into the starry night.' God help you if you ever come near Remus or me again!'
He carefully pocketed the silver photo-frame and continued to search but was only stop when he heard footsteps behind him. From the sound of it the person was pretty big or was it lots of people? Sirius whipped round, wand ready in aim, but he slowly lowered his arms and gave a sigh of relief. It was only Hagrid, the Hogwarts gamekeeper. He was holding something, Sirius couldn't work out what it was so moved forward for a closer inspection. It was a baby and Sirius recognised it as...
'Harry, but the house, Voldemort, Peter,' Sirius babbled. 'Lily and James, please tell me they're ok Hagrid, please!'
'I'm sorry Sirius, I found them both back there. They're...' He stopped looked into Sirius dark eyes. 'They're both dead, I'm so sorry.'
'How did Harry survive then?' he asked Hagrid. 'I'm so glad he did though, so glad.'
'I don't know. You-know-who's seemed to have disappeared though.'
'What! Little Harry's defeated him then?'
'I don't know, maybe. You're better off asking Dumbledore those sort of questions.'
The bundle, that was Harry, stirred in Hagrid's arms moving the blankets so Harry's jet-black hair and forehead was now visible. Underneath his messy fringe was a lightening bolt shaped cut on his forehead. Sirius moved forwards to touch Harry's cheek, Sirius bent forward and kissed him lightly.
'Speaking of Dumbledore, I've got to take Harry to him.' He looked from Harry to Sirius and back again. 'I'm already late, he'll be at the Dursley's house by now.'
'What! What the Dursleys, surely not the Dursleys. They'd throw Harry out in the street at the first glimpse of him and they hate magic. I'm Harry's godfather! Hagrid you can't!'
'I'm sorry Sirius, but if Dumbledore thinks it's the best place for him, it's probably the safest place for him.'
'The safest place! The safest place, no wizards in sight we don't know Voldemort's gone yet it might me a trap, leading us into a false sense of security!'
'But Dumbledore said...'
'Let me take Harry and see Dumbledore, please, please.' He looked pleadingly into the gamekeeper's eyes. 'Just let be see Dumbledore first. Its what Lily and James wanted.'
'But...but'
There was a huge crack of thunder that echoed through the night's sky and huge droplets of rain the size of bullets began to pour down on the three. Hagrid stared into the man's eyes knowing it would break his heart if he didn't hand Harry over, but what would Dumbledore say if he did?
'Please Hagrid, please.'
'Ok, but promise you'll go straight to Hogwarts and see Dumbledore.' Said Hagrid hesitantly.
'I will, I will.'
By this time now it was pouring down with rain and Sirius was soaked through, as Hagrid handed Harry over to him, Harry whimpered a bit but soon fell back to sleep in the crock of Sirius's arm.
'He's so like his father he could sleep through anything too.'
Sirius said his goodbyes to Hagrid and walked over to where he had said he had found Lily and James. He soon found them and shivered at the sight of them. Lily was still just as beautiful; her unmarked skin was deathly pale and her soft, red hair fallen gracefully over her face. He bent down to pick up her arm, he kissed it gently.
'I'm so sorry Lily, I'm so, so sorry.' He put down her arm, 'don't worry I'll look after Harry now, I will take such good care of him. I won't ever leave him and I won't let anyone take him.'
He then moved through the rubble and found Prongs, James, best friend, fellow marauder and troublemaker. He still looked the same, same unruly jet-black hair; his glasses lay awkwardly on his face. Sirius remembered their Quiditch matches, the amount of times they ended up in McGonagall's office, the pranks they played on Snape and their time down in the Shrieking Shack. He smiled at his friend tears running down his face.
'I'm sorry James, I'm so sorry too. I shouldn't have made you change secret-keeper. I'm so sorry; I'll miss you so much and so will Harry. We'll never forget you, I'll come back don't worry.'
He carefully conjured up tents in which he put around Lily and James body. He slowly walked off sobbing, Harry in his arms. He walked back down the hill to where his motorbike was parked. He carefully climbed on trying not to wake Harry, but he banged his knee and swore loudly. But still Harry didn't stir. Sirius laughed.
He revved up the engine and was soon off into the night heading towards Hogwarts. It would be so strange without those two, so empty, and so different. He was truthful he would miss James and Lily so much and he'd never ever leave Harry.
a/n wait there is more! There is some more so don't stop reading yet! Hope that was a bit longer for you all and I'll post some more of it up as soon as possible. Promise!8O)
