"Peter? Peter, where are you? It's me, Sirius,
I've come to see if you're O.K."
Sirius Black, walked around the small flat, opening
cupboards and looking behind doors.
"Funny." he said to himself. "No sign of
a Struggle. hmmm..."
And then a thought came to him. Perhaps he had gone to
visit Lily and James. He left the Flat and mounted his Motorcycle. He revved the
engine and flew off into the night, towards Godric's Hollow. He landed a
little away from the village, as he didn't want to attract too much attention,
and went the rest of the way in the normal muggle fashion.
As he approached he became uneasy. Something wasn't
right, he looked up, and above the rooftops he saw a sight that made his heart
miss a beat. The Dark Mark.
"No." He said hesitantly. "No, no, no,
NO!!!" He screamed into the stillness of the night. he ran towards the
house, and found it in ruins.
"James!" he shouted "James! James.
James?" his voice trailed off as he saw James' body sprawled where the
living room once was. "No...no...no..." He threw himself at James'
limp body pulling it to his lap. He put his ear to James' mouth wanting him to
be alive, yet knowing it wasn't to be. Suddenly Sirius heard a small sob.
"Lily? Lily! Are you alright? I'm coming!"
Sirius picked his way through the rubble towards Lily. He crouched down beside
her and lifted her head. Don't be dead, he thought, oh please be alive. He
looked down into her staring beautiful green eyes and knew that she too was
gone. Sirius broke down into uncontrollable sobs. He lifted Lily gently and
carried her across to James and laid her down beside him. He kissed her on the
head then transformed into a dog and lay down at James' side. And stayed there
as an ever faithful friend. Sirius let out a long, slow howl of anguish.
The two people he treasured most in the world were gone.
Sirius suddenly started. A gentle breeze crossed his
face and it felt like it was telling something. The leaves on the ground
rustled. They were saying, "harry. Harry."
"Harry's surely dead." Sirius thought to
himself. But he stood up and slowly moved around the ruins looking for the baby.
Sirius froze, a figure about 10 feet tall stood not too far away in the shadows.
Then he heard a loud sob and a sniff. Hagrid.
"Hagrid?" Sirius called, his voice shaking.
"Hagrid, is that you? It's Sirius. Have you got Harry?"
"Yeh." Hagrid's voice was also shaking.
"He's 'ere. You alrigh'...Sirius?"
"Lily and James are over there Hagrid.
They're...they're..."
"I know." Hagrid hiccoughed.
"Is Harry...is he..."
"He's alrigh'. Come over."
Sirius moved cautiously towards Hagrid and Harry. He
saw the tiny form of Harry cradled in Hagrid's enormous arms, and he saw a cut,
shaped like a bolt of lightning on his forehead.
"How...?" Sirius began not knowing how to
finish the sentence.
"Dunno."
"You don't think the curse rebounded do you?"
" It can't have, can i'?"
" I don't know."
There was a silence. Hagrid and Sirius both stood
watching Harry sleep, unaware of the fact that both his parents were dead. He
looked so small, so innocent.
Sirius sat down on an unbroken chair and put his head
in his hands and sobbed.
Hagrid knelt down next to him and put an arm around his
shoulders.
"It's all my fault." Sirius whispered.
"You couldn't have stopped it Sirius. You know you
couldn't. You know he was after 'em."
"You don't understand Hagrid. You don't
understand."
" Sirius, it wasn't your fault. You can't go
blaming yourself. It was coming, and what's comin' will come. But still,
couldn't find nicer people anywhere..." Hagrid too broke down into sobs.
Harry was shaken awake by Hagrid's vibrations and he too began to cry.
"Hush, now 'Arry. S'alrigh'." Hagrid sniffed,
tears leaking into his beard.
Harry, stretched his little arms out to Sirius who
smiled weakly and whispered "You're just like your father Harry, just like
him. But you've got your mother's eyes."
"I'd best get him off to Dumbledore before the
muggles come swarmin' in." said Hagrid blowing his nose.
"Give
Harry to me, Hagrid, I'm his Godfather, I'll look after him -"
"
I've had me order's from Dumbledore, Sirius, Harry's ter go to his Aunt an'
Uncle's."
"But Hagrid, they're muggles, they'll hate the
boy. Leave him with me. Lily and James appointed me his guardian."
"I'm sorry Sirius, but I can't. I've had me orders
from Dumbledore."
"Fine. Take him to the muggles and take my
motorbike to get him there. I shan't be need it."
"Not yer ole Motorbike Sirius. How will yer get home
without it?"
"I'll manage."
"Alrigh' then. Don't beat yersel' up Sirius.
It's not yer fault."
And with that Hagrid kicked off and he and Harry flew
off into the night.
Sirius watched them fly off then went back to where
Lily and James lay.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS PETER!" He shouted into the night. "I'll GET YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!"
