A/N: I hope you all like this, it's my first attempt at a fanfic other than humor, but I just got the idea for this in my head and I had to write it. I'm working on another humor one at the moment as well.

Disclaimer: Why do we need to put these? I'm 13, how could I possibly own Harry Potter?


What If...

20th October 1981

"Of course, of course I'll be your secret keeper, but what if... ,I mean, I'm the obvious choice aren't I. He's going to come straight for me, and hat if he gets it out of me, what if..." An unnerved Sirius Black trailed of as he spoke his concern to his best friend James Potter.

"What are you talking about, there's no-one better for the job" Said James, "you're my best friend, you're Harry's godfather, there's no-one I trust more than you"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it"

And Sirius Black became secret keeper for the Potters, despite his doubts.


25th October 1981

The door to Sirius' house was flung open, and a man stepped inside. He wore a black cloak and was flanked by two others in white masks.
Lord Voldemort spoke in his high, cold voice.
"I know you're in here Black, there's no use hiding."

"I'm not hiding."

Sirius was standing in the far doorway, his wand raised, his hair whipped round his face. His eyes were wide with shock, hatred and fear.

"What do you want?" He growled.

"You know perfectly well what I want Black, where are the potters"

"You'll never have them"

"We shall see, no-one can hear us out here. Crucio!"

Sirius fell to the floor screaming. The death eaters closed round laughing. Voldemort lifted the curse.
"Changed your mind yet Black? We have hours ahead of us"

"Well, you're wasting your time then, because I would rather die than betray my friends."

"I see I have no further use for you then Black. I have other means of getting the potters, and all your little friends in the Order. My faithful spy Peter Pettigrew."

"Peter... no, it can't be, he was..."

"Yes Black, Pettigrew. And no-one will ever know. Goodbye Black, you were foolish to defy me. AVADA KEDAVRA.

A/N: ooo, I'm so sorry I had to kill Sirikins, I love him sooooo much, but it was the only way to finish the story. Review please, I'd love to find out what you thought of my first serious fanfic, critisism welcome, praise obviously welcome too.
