A/N: HI!!!!!!!!! I decided to add another chappie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm overusing the exclamation point!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, too much sugar...anyway, this chapter is gonna be the part when Sirius gets taken away to Azkaban and Peter denies his betrayal. If I think of anything else that happened when Harry was one (and JKR hasn't already mentioned it) and it involves the Marauders, I'll write it.

I'll Die for You

Chapter 3: The Betrayer's Denial

Sirius was wandering through the streets of Kent and muttering to himself. People were staring at him. "Where's that Peter? I'm gonna kill that bloody jackass traitor...he killed my best friend, and I thought me and him were getting along well. Not anymore. I'm gonna avenge my friend's death and he'll be the first to go." Sirius would normally be on his motorcycle, flying in circles until he calmed down, but he didn't have his bike anymore. He gave it to Hagrid to assure a safe trip to Harry's only living relatives, those Dursleys.

He didn't understand why Harry had to go to them. From what Sirius had heard, the Dursleys were a load of magic-discouraging Muggles. Sirius would have been able to raise him in his grandparents' house and he would have raised him right, too. And he betted that in James's and Lily's will, it would say that Sirius was Harry's legal guardian...oh; wait, James and Lily didn't HAVE a will! Stupid Fidelius Charm.

Sirius was almost lost in his thoughts when he saw a small mousy man in the corner of his eye. 'Oh, now he's gonna get it,' Sirius thought as he sped out to meet his former-friend.

"Hello Wormtail," he growled, glaring at the man. The man was rather short, portly, and had blonde hair tousled everywhere. His hands were writhing together. You could tell he was hiding something from a mile off.

"H-hi Sirius," Wormtail replied in a high voice. "W-what's happening?"

"Don't you dare 'what's happening' me!" Sirius spat, all his angry boiling up from inside him. "You betrayer! You MURDERER!" If someone on the street didn't notice Sirius earlier, now they know he's there. All of the dozen Muggles were staring and an old lady's bag's bottom fell off and the contents spilled everywhere.

"I d-d-don't know w-what you're ta-talking about," the man called Wormtail uttered almost inaudibly.

"You know right well what I'm talking about!" Sirius took out his wand and pointed it straight at where Peter's heart was supposed to be.
Then a wonderful idea struck Peter (A/N: AKA Wormtail). "N-no, I don't. Lily and James, Sirius, how could you!"

Sirius was flabbergasted. "Me? I would die before betraying Lily and James!"

A devilish grin appeared on Peter's face. "Have it your way then." With that, a spell made the entire street explode and everyone instantly died except for Sirius and a rather fat rat that was missing a finger...
