A/N: This is just a bit of a transfer work while I also get some work done on my new story which needs a title.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize in this fanfic, and the stuff that you don't. Well I don't own that either. The plot is not mine; I just got permission from AlantieEl to rewrite this.

Prologue

It was a very warm day for it being near the end of October. The wind was blowing just softly enough to keep one from getting too warm in the sunlight. There were only a few puffy clouds hanging in the sky and the students of Hogwarts, third year and up, were all out wandering around Hogsmeade. If you were watching them closely enough, anyone could have seen Harry, Ron and Hermione heading over towards the mountains protecting the magical place from the eyes of Muggles. They were off to go see Sirius, and Harry was really looking foreword to seeing his Godfather again.

"Do you think we might convince him to tell us a story about your parents, mate?" Ron asked Harry as they were walking up towards the cave, trying to keep from being seen.

"He might if you ask him," replied Harry with a shrug.

It was not long before the terrific trio got up to the cave where Sirius had agreed to meet them. He was looking tired, but a lot healthier since he had been staying with Remus for a while.

"Is there any chance that we can talk you into telling us something about what is was like before Harry was born? We need to get our minds off current events for a while," said Hermione right off the bat.

"If you want to listen to me go on," replied Sirius. "Why not?" The three sat down and paid rapt attention to what he was saying.
