A/N I know its been done before but oh well mines different except for the
part where Sirius gets Harry but everything else is original or at lest I
think it is. Please review and let me know wither I should keep going or
take it off because its been done so many times all ready. Flames will be
used to roast my bunny shaped marshmallows, yummy.
What if Sirius had reached Godric's Hollow before Hagrid on that horrible Halloween night when Lily and James Potter died……
Stars in the Night
Chapter One
1 Godric's Hollow
Sirius arrived at Godric's Hollow a little after eleven o'clock on All Hallows Eve; it was quite, too quite, Sirius's fears were begging to become reality. He parked his flying motorbike at the end of long driveway leading up to the house. The air around him was still the only sound that could be herd was the soft crunch of his dragon hide boots on the dirt road, not even the owls that lived in the trees surrounding the house dared to hoot. It was if the area surrounding Godric's Hollow was frozen in time.
Sirius had gone early that night to the flat were Peter was staying to check that he was all right only to find he had gone, he knew very well that as the Potter's secret keeper he wasn't to leave his flat under any circumstances. Him gone and the flat in perfect order meant only one thing, he was the trader the one who for so long now had been passing information to the Dark Lord. Funny, Sirius always believed it to be Remus, who would of thought that little sniveling Peter Pettigrew could ever be the turn coat, Sirius wouldn't have ever believed he had it in him. With Peter gone there was only one thing Sirius could do he had to warn James and Lily that Peter had gone to Lord Voldemort. They needed to leave Godric's Hollow at once and go to Hogwarts where they would be safe until they could figure out a plan. That was why Sirius was here now at Godric's Hollow, he must warn them before it was to late.
Sirius continued to walk slowly up the dirt path, something was wrong he could feel it. Has he reached the front of the house at last what he saw would give him nightmares the rest of his life. Laying on the ground eyes wide open un-moving was James Potter, his best friend in the world someone he would willing die for was died on the ground in front of him and it was all his fault. Sirius was over come be sorrow and yet all he could was knell down next to James and take his cold hand into his own. "I'm so sorry" Sirius whispered mournfully "Its all my fault…" "its all my fault" he whispered it over and over again letting the tears stream down from his eyes silently. Maybe Sirius thought that if he just held onto James long enough then everything would be all right again, he would have his best friend back, and the would laugh together again and it would be just like the old days. Sirius knelt there by his friends side whispering apologies for ten minutes and only stirred when he herd the soft cry of a baby coming from inside the house.
"Harry." He said standing up and looking at the house "he's alive." He quickly left James after one last good bye leaving his best friend's side who had died with a look of pure determination and bravery on his face, and ran into the ruined house. He ran quickly up the stairs and to the nursery where the crying was coming from. He walked through the doorway and was meet by another tragic sight. Lily was lying dead on the ground still clutching her little baby boy who had a cut across his forehead in the shape of a lightening blot. "Harry its going to be okay, your old friend Padfoot is here now." He picked up the Harry from his mother's arms. "Lily I'm so sorry its all my fault but I promise you I will take good care of Harry and see he has ever thing he needs." Sirius took a look around the ruined room looking for anything he might be able to rescue for Harry. On the ground in front of the fireplace he saw the family portrait Lily and insisted on taking when Harry was born. The frame was cracked and the glass was broken and falling out but the picture was still intact so he took it. He grabed some blankets and clothes and left the room. Sirius then made his way into James and Lily's bedroom, looking around he spotted James favorite broom stick, if Harry is anything like his father he'll love Quidditch Sirius thought as he hastily looked under the bed for the diaries he knew Lily had kept at Hogwarts. "Success!" Sirius had opened one of the small shoe boxes under the bed and found it filled with old diaries "this may be the best way Harry will ever get to knowing is mother, I hate that its my fault he has to know her through her diaries." He muttered as he stuffed the clothes, blanket and picture into the box as well. That done he made his way out of the house and over to his bike, now accompanied by a sleeping baby an old broom and a shoe box.
Sirius started up his bike and took off towards his old childhood fort in the woods near his parent's old house. They'll all think it was me who turned them in, well I as good as did, Sirius thought bitterly as he switched on the invisibility button and took of into the sky, Remus will kill me or turn me in as a deatheater which I'm not! It was that rat Wormtail. If that happens then what will happen to Harry? I can't let them catch me not until I get Peter. Then Harry and me can get a real house together and I can raise him.
It was just after dawn when Sirius landed outside his old fort. "Well Harry this is it. Don't worry its only temporary." Sirius said looking down at the sleeping child, Harry simply yawned and turned over. Sirius walked over to the front of the makeshift house and opened the few pieces of wood he had once nailed together to make a door and went into the small room. The table, chairs and sofa his parents had reluctantly given him when he begged for some furniture to put in his cool new hide out so many years ago were still there and in good condition. He laid Harry down on the sofa and began to clean the dusty table and chairs, he swept the floor with the old broom he found leaning against the outside of the fort, and he brushed off all the cobwebs from the roof before he finally fell asleep on the sofa next to his godson only to woken in a few hours by Harry pulling playfully on his leather jacket.
A/n Short first chapter I know. Hopefully the next chapters will be longer. Review and let me know what you think. I have this whole story planed out already unlike my other fics so I should be able to get one chapter up per week but only if I get encouragement to do so.
