My name is Kiara. Kiara Orion Lawrence, and this is my story...
On October 31, 1987, Sirius and I were at Godric's Hollow, where two of our best friends Lily and James Potter were hiding from Voldemort with their son Harry, our godson. We were receiving the newlywed couple's advice on how to follow through with our wedding plans. It was around 9 o'clock at night and we had many things to do the next day, so we bid our friends goodbye and left on Sirius' motorbike, not being able to apparate on the protected grounds. About 15 minutes after we left Godric's Hollow, we both got this weird feeling that something had gone wrong. Not sure of what happened, we turned around and headed back to James and Lily's hideout. We reached what was left of the house that was obviously attacked by the most feared dark wizard Voldemort
I ran to the ruins screaming for my friend, after no response I decided to try to dig through the remainder of the house to see if Lily was buried. To my horror, I found her dead; she had been hit by the killing curse Advada Kedvadra. James had been found by Sirius the exact same way. Before breaking down in frustration, I heard distant crying.
"HARRY!" I yelled at Sirius, "He is still alive!"
Running around in panic, I found Harry sitting in the remainder of his bedroom crying from lack of attention and fear. I rushed to him and enveloped him in my arms.
"Shh don't worry, it's okay".
Not believing my own words, I broke down into tears, feeling that the world had just been destroyed. A few minutes later, Sirius appeared looking down at me with obvious pain.
"We must tell Remus and Astarael what has happened here, they must hear it from us."
Looking down at Harry I nodded and stood upright. Yet, something was not right about my godson. Carefully moving a tuft of his messy jet-black hair from his forehead, I saw it, the mark where the Advada Kedvadra had touched him. A scar in the middle of his forehead glowed green in the shape of a lightning bolt.
"Sirius, look at this." I said showing him the scar; "Harry survived the killing curse...but how?"
I looked to him for some kind of answer, yet he had none... He just kissed my forehead.
"All I do know is that I must fulfill my promise to Lily and James as Harry's Godfather..." The playful tone in his voice now gone, making him sound as if he had just died himself.
Taking Harry from my arms, he sat on a tree stump outside of the ruins of the house, gently rocking Harry to sleep. I looked at him in confusion. I knew our godson mattered; yet I get no reassurance that everything will be all right? Thinking back to what he said, I realized that he only said that HE must fulfill HIS promise as a godfather. So what now? I get no part in raising my godson, even though I too made a vow to protect him if anything had happened to Lily or James? Suddenly feeling hurt and confused, I fell to my knees in despair, quietly crying. My tears turned into sobs of pain and sorrow.
I heard Sirius rise from his position and walk past me, making my heartache even more. Then I heard voices, from that of Sirius arguing with Rubeus Hagrid. Quieting myself, I heard Sirius yelling that he did not care what Albus Dumbledore thought and that Harry was going to be raised by him. Hagrid now angered that Sirius was not cooperating; he walked towards me. I stood up quickly trying to hide my sorrow, yet with no real luck, I faced him.
"I am sorry Ms. Lawrence, I know ya are Harry's Godparents and all, but Dumbledore sent me on a mission, and that was to bring Harry back to 'im."
Nodding I turned towards Sirius and looked at him as though telling him that we must do as Dumbledore had said for the time being.
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? WHAT KIND OF GODMOTHER ARE YOU? GIVING HARRY AWAY TO THOSE MUGGLES! FORGET IT! I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE HIM AWAY THAT EASILY, UNLIKE YOU I LOVED LILY AND JAMES AND I WILL NOT GO AGAINST MY PROMISE!"
He looked at me with the utmost hatred. My mouth hung open. I stared senseless at him. Sirius, I thought, why are you doing this? Why are you pushing me away? My love? What is happening? I could feel the tingle in my cheeks as feeling rushed to my eyes, bearing tears. Then and there I felt my heart shatter into a million different pieces, but being the person I was, I wasn't about to let Sirius see that he hurt me so.
"Sirius, please. Don't be like this, you know it is for the best...for now at least."
Either seeing that I was right or disgusted so much with me, he shoved Harry into Hagrid's arms and muttered something about Peter Pettigrew. With that he apparated away.
Looking to Hagrid I said, "Well, Albus will be wanting you to return to him soon. You may take Sirius' motorbike, I will place a simple levitation spell on it so you can get to him faster"
My voice was scant with emotion, Hagrid stared after me, amazed at my lack of feeling. I slowly walked towards the motorbike.
"Ms. Lawrence? I really sorry bout this ya know? It is Dumbledore's orders..."
"I know Hagrid, I know. Don't blame yourself for what just happened; it might as well happen now when we were only planning to get married." I stopped talking at a loss for words.
Taking out my wand I placed the levitation spell "Wingardium Leviosa" on the motorbike and sent Hagrid off, kissing my godson goodbye. Watching Hagrid disappear into the night sky, I sighed and turned around to face the horrible memory behind me. I stood for a few minutes, thinking silently, cursing my stupidity at not going after Sirius. Around me it slowly began to rain. Harder and harder the rain fell, matching my mood and this night perfectly. I decided to apparate to Remus' house to tell him the news.
