Thank you so much for the reviews.

This isn't really Sirius' journal, just different accounts of times when he wrote and why and how he started the journal.

Maybe at the end I'll include some of his entries! I'll think about it!

View of Sirius- #2

James groaned as he sat up groggily. The insistent knocks on the door drove him off the couch, (don't know why I fell asleep on the couch, he thought absently), and towards the front of the house. A light appeared upstairs and his father came down followed by his mother.

"Who is it, dear?" Mrs. Potter asked.

James shrugged and threw open the door to reveal and a very frantic Sirius clutching a small brown bag. James blinked in surprise and yanked Sirius in out of the cold winter night.

"Sirius what the bloody hell are you doing!"

Some more lights were turned on and soon Sirius was led to the kitchen, sat down and a warm cup of tea was pressed into his hands. Mrs. Potter had thrown a blanket around him that was charmed to keep warm. Mr. Potter was busy inspecting Sirius' face, which was mildly bruised and asking the same question James had asked merely minutes ago.

Sirius held up a hand and said softly, "I had to leave. I couldn't take it anymore, I'm sorry to barge in at this time of morning but it was the only chance I had."

Mrs. Potter hugged Sirius slightly. "No don't apologize. You are welcomed here always, dear."

Sirius smiled his thanks, not trusting his voice. A lump had found its way in his throat and soon James was in the kitchen with Sirius all by himself. He settled down next to Sirius, drinking his own tea. He watched Sirius struggle with keeping the tears at bay.

James patted Sirius' shoulder and pulled him into a friendly hug.

Needless to say, Sirius lost the battle of the tears.

James watched over the course of the next day as Sirius, every now and then, bent over a red notebook writing. James was curious but knew that this was something that he wasn't going to be allowed to see. James didn't ask.

At dinner that night, Mr. Potter cleared his throat and everyone looked up at him.

"Now Sirius, me and Amelia have talked about what to do. Obviously you're not going back to your family."

Sirius nodded his agreement. He'd never go back to that house. James waited nervously for his parents' decision.

Mrs. Potter smiled. "So you are going to stay here with us, if that's okay with you."

James grinned at Sirius who returned it.

"That's great," the two boys said in unison. They laughed and dug right into their food again. Mr. and Mrs. Potter smiled and went back to their food also.

James and Sirius played around all the rest of winter break and when they got back to Hogwarts finished the year with high spirits. Sirius, of course came back to the Potters' where he spent the rest of his school days. He was like the brother James never had and it stayed that way.

When James and Lily got married Sirius was their best man. Lily had thrown the bouquet and an embarrassed Remus had caught it. Sirius smiled and laughed as he pulled Remus into a loving kiss, which Remus had fully returned. The others laughed.

A month later Remus proposed and the two got married and had a private wedding with just friends and family. A couple years later Lily and James announced that they were going to be parents in nine months and wanted Sirius to be the godfather.

Although this had been years of happiness Voldemort was a constant threat to the wizarding world and to the Potters. Sirius got a job being an Auror, as did James.

Then there was the threat of traitor inside of the marauders…
