The Gryffindors had left him alone out of shock. At breakfast Sirius waited for the owl post. When the hundreds of birds swooped into the hall Sirius left and the owl with the scarlet envelope followed. Inside the hall the other students heard the very muffled voice of Mrs. Black screaming at her son. Lily rushed out of the hall to find Sirius. She didn't have to search far she just had to follow the screams of pain.

Sirius let the howler blow up a few floors above the Great Hall before going towards the common room. He never made it there as his mind was suddenly attacked with images. Sirius collapsed to his knees and gripped his hair in his fists.

A cloaked man stood at the door of a grand house. He pulled out his wand and unlocked the door. The spell was too strong and melted the lock. A man called to his wife to run with Harry. A flash of green light and the man fell to the ground dead before he hit the floor. The house shook as a nursery door was blasted off its hinges. A woman screamed and held her baby to her chest. She pleaded to be killed before her son. Another flash of green and the woman spiraled to the floor. Then the cloaked man turned his wand on the child. The green light came again but did not strike the boy. It rebounded off of him and back upon the caster. A ghostly shriek and then the spirit of the cloaked man fled.

A scream tore from his throat. Burning as it tore at his vocal cords. Pain welled in his head and his stormy gray eyes watered. The pain was too much and he began to recede into the darkness gnawing at the edges of his mind. He heard someone gasp but he couldn't do anything about it. Finally the darkness swallowed him.

Softness was around him. Under his eyelids was gray. Someone was worried. As he tried to remember what happened or where he was pain shot through his head. He gasped and applied pressure to his temples.

"Easy child, easy." A soothing female voice entered his head. Firm arms gripped his wrists and forced his hands away from his temples. When he pried his eyes open he remembered his vision. He tried to get up from the bed he was laying on but was pushed back down. Sirius began to panic. He began to fight against the woman trying to keep him in the bed. His mind raced through the castle and pinpointed Dumbledore in his office. Trying to use his mind to pull the headmaster to where ever he was but the headmaster had his mind blocked. With panic rising faster than a flash flood Sirius pushed hard on the headmaster.

Dumbledore began to move towards him.

"Madame Pomfrey is there a problem?" He asked as he approached the school matron attempting to hold down a struggling student.

"He woke up and started to panic." Sirius managed to get the matron's hand off his eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore!" He began to struggle harder against the nurse. Using his panic as a weapon Sirius forced the nurse away from him. "Professor Dumbledore, sir, someone is going to die!"

"How would you know this?" Dumbledore sensed something about the boy but he couldn't tell what it was.

"I saw it! I'm a Seer! I have had visions before!" Sirius' panic was very slowly receding.

"Poppy I would like to have a word with Mr. Black in my office immediately if he is up to it." Madame Pomfrey nodded. Sirius clamped his eyes shut tightly for a moment before blinking several times in quick succession.

"Is there something wrong Mr. Black?" The headmaster asked.

"Just a migraine sir." Sirius answered.

"Poppy I believe you would have something for that." Madame Pomfrey forced a foul tasting potion down his throat. After hacking and coughing for a moment Sirius stood up. He followed the headmaster up to his office and explained his wandless powers and his ability as a Seer.

Sirius had missed all of his lessons and was going back to the tower to see if someone would tell him the assignments. On his way, there was a commotion in the hall. Lily was on the ground surrounded by books with tears in her eyes and a greasy haired Slytherin above her.

"Watch it next time mudblood!" Immediately Sirius drew out his wand, as did the person next to him. Sirius looked over and noticed it was Potter. Potter looked over at him. Sirius winked at him and dropped his wand to a lower spot on the Slytherin's body. Potter and Sirius fired at the same time. Potter's spell hit the Slytherin in the chest while Sirius's hit the money shot. All the boys in the area cringed.

"Watch it next time Snape" Sirius yelled as the Slytherin limped away. To everyone's surprise Sirius bent down and gave Lily a hug before helping her pick up her books. There was a chorus of awww's as he walked her to her common room.

"Sorry bout him Lily. He's a prat who thinks he's better than everyone else." Sirius apologized to her.

"That's okay I guess. I'm going to go lay down." Lily entered her dorm.

"You know what Black? I misjudged you, you aren't really like your parents are you?" Sirius turned around and was faced by Potter. "Shall we start over?" Potter asked.

"Um sure…" Sirius was taken aback by the boy's sudden change towards him. "James Potter." James held out his hand to Sirius. Sirius gripped shook it.

"Sirius Black. Muggle born avenger." James chuckled at the self-given title.

"Well Mr. Avenger I believe this to be the start of a beautiful friendship with lots of Snivillus torturing." Both boys started to crack up.
