Lumos' ' Sirius wand tip lit up the room. "Wormtail?" Sirius whispered. "Peter, it's me Sirius." As he ventured further into the house he realized it seemed as though it had been abandoned. He was flooded with a surge of shock.He raced to his motorbike and headed to his small cozy stone house. He ran to the magic mirror that connected to the one that belongs to James. "Prongs!" Sirius shouted into the Mirror. James did not appear. He sprinted back to his motor bike and headed for Godric's Hollow. It seemed to take hours instead of mere minutes to reach Godirc's Hollow. When he arrived at the Potter's cottage he was filled with a horror unlike any he had ever felt before. The Potter's front door was completely unhinged. The windows were shattered. The worst damage to the house however was that part of the roof right above Harry's nursery was blown apart. A baby's blood curdling cry filled the cool Halloween air. Sirius raced through the unhinged door. As Sirius made his way up the stairs

he felt as though his heart had stopped beating. Laying on the landing was the body of James Potter, behind his askew glasses where his staring yet unseeing eyes. Sirius couldn't breath his throat was constricting his airway as though some invisible person was choking him. He felt helpless there was nothing he could do for his best mate. Sirius reached down and closed his dearest friend's unblinking eyes. The piercing screech of a baby's cry once again filled the silent night.

"Harry!" Sirius yelled weakly. "I'm coming!".Sirius carefully stepped around James and made his way up the stairs. As Sirius entered the nursery he was filled once again with great sorrow, as he looked upon the body of lovely Lily Potter. She looked peaceful, as though she was sleeping and experiencing a delightful dream. Across the room was baby Harry in his cradle holding the bars. The baby's face was tear stained and was still weeping. Sirius lifted the baby out of his cradle and held him tight to his chest. The baby's crying subsided quickly. Harry felt great comfort in his godfather's arms. As Sirius stood slightly rocking Harry as the tears that he had been fighting back since he had arrived were now streaming down his face.Sirius crouched down with his back against the wall with Harry in his lap. Harry looked up at his sobbing Godfather with a confused and concerned expression.

No-cry-Pa'foot."Harry said. Sirius forced a weak smile. "I'm okay, little guy ." Sirius said. "I'm so happy you're alive." He pulled Harry in a tight hug and messed with Harry's wild hair. To his great surprise upon Harry's forehead was a lightning-bolt shaped scar. His hair had hidden it perfectly. He knew that Voldemort himself had done it after he killed Harry's parents because James or Lily always let him know if anything happened to Harry no matter how small of an issue. Sirius tried a series of healing charms and spells but nothing worked. He wrapped Harry in a blanket and carried him back to his motorbike. He sat Harry in the sidecar. The engine of the motorbike revved. "Sirius, wait." said a large man who seemed to have appeared from thin air.

When Sirius lit the face of the mysterious man Sirius saw that it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid. Sirius stepped off his motorbike. "Is it true?" Hagrid asked. "Are James and Lily really de-." Sirius could see tear drops streaking into Hagrid's thick beard.

"Yes—it's true."

Each word cause him such immense pain

"I can't believ'e it"

"Neither can I…"

Hagrid pulled Sirius into a brief but tight hug

"I'm so sorry."

"Thank you."

"What about Harry—is he alright?"

"He's got this wild scar on his head but he seems fine otherwise."

"I'm glad he's alive."

"So am I"

"Where is Harry?"

Sirius led Hagrid to the sidecar. Harry stared up at the two men with his brilliant emerald green eyes. "I better be getting Harry back to my place." Sirius said "It's getting pretty late."

"Sirius."

"Yes?

"You can't take Harry with you."

"Why can't I ?"

"Dumbledore has ordered me to bring Harry to number four Privet Drive."

"Why, Hagrid?"

"Harry's going to go live with Lily's sis-."

"Petunia!"

"Yes."

"Her and her husband loathed Lily and James, they are terrible people!

"Sirius, I have to follow my order from Dumble—-"

"I'm his Godfather!"

"You're only twenty-two, what do you know about raising babies?

"James and Lil were younger than me!"

"They trusted me to watch over Harry if—-something happened to them!"

Hagrid reached into the side car and lifted Harry. When Sirius tried to reach for the baby Hagrid jerked Harry out of Sirius's reach.

"Please—don't take Harry away from me!"

"I'm Sorry, Sirius."

Sirius was filled with such a mixture of emotions it made him light-headed. "Do you want me to take you home?" Hagrid asked. "You shouldn't be left here alone."

"I'm alright, I need to take care of something."

"Alright Sirius."

"Can I say goodbye to Harry?"

"Yes"

Hagrid handed Sirius his godson. " I will come and get you away from those horrible people as soon as I can, I promise." Sirius whispered in Harry's ear. Harry wrapped his tiny arms around Sirius' neck and hugged him. Sirius's tears began to flow once more, he wiped them away quickly before he turned back to Hagrid. "Take my bike the rest of the way." Sirius said. "Put Harry in the side car." Hagrid did as Sirius suggested. Sirius watched as they disappeared behind a large hill. When Sirius glanced up the road he saw the silhouette of a short man standing in the distance,it was none other than Peter Pettigrew. Sirius changed into his animagus form and sprinted toward Peter. Wormtail ran. Sirius felt like a wolf on the hunt. Sirius was gaining on him quickly. Pettigrew drew his wand and fired it over his shoulder as he continued to run.Crucio!" Shouted Wormtail. Sirius barely dodged it. Pettigrew planted his feet and faced Sirius, he was about to apparate. Sirius shifted to his human form and lept and grabbed hold of wormtail then appearated alongside him. They were now standing in a muggle neighborhood. Sirius was filled with anger that he had never once encountered. He wanted vengeance. Sirius held his wand high and directed it at Peter's chest who stood several feet away. "Sirius,how could you James and Lily!" Peter shrieked. "We trusted you Sirius!" which only fueled Sirius's anger. "Avada Kedavra!" Sirius shouted. His curse missed Peter. Sirius fired a Series of blasting spells as Peter ran away, all of which missed him. At this point lights began to flick on inside the nearby muggle houses. Sirius's anger had peaked. Peter had run behind a bush when Sirius approached Peter stood and shrieked

"Expelliarmus!" Sirius's wand flew several feet away. Sirius stood without a wand and all he could think to do was to fight Peter with his bare fists. Sirius launched himself at Peter but before he was able to grab hold of Wormtail, Peter shouted "Crucio." The spell hit Sirius in the back. Pain seared all over Sirius's body. He whirled around on the ground trying to get to his feet. Sirius was in excruciating pain for several minutes. When the pain finally ceased he thought for a moment that he had died.When Sirius got to his feet he saw that several muggles were standing on their porches and in the street looking terrified. Sirius took several wobbly steps toward Peter. He was determined to harm Peter in any way possible. "Stupefy!" Peter shouted. Sirius flew back several feet and crashed to the ground. He supported himself with his elbows and looked up at Peter.Sirius once again hoisted himself to his feet. His arm shook while he supported himself on a fence post

. Peter let out a terrible shriek when Sirius looked at his former friend. He was shocked to see that Wormtail was missing his index finger. In his other hand he held a small knife.With all the strength he could muster he made his way over to his wand that lay on the ground. When Peter faced Sirius he looked horrified. He knew Sirius was the better dueler even when he was severely injured and hysterical. Sirius raised a shaky arm brandishing his wand.

"Avada Kedavra," Sirius shouted. The curse missed Peter by a long shot. Sirius was very light-headed. A blast of light erupted from Peter's wand. Sirius was knocked against a brick wall. All was quiet besides a faint humming in his ears. When he got to his feet he was highly disoriented. There was debris everywhere and scattered along the street were the bodies of several muggles that had been watching them. Peter was nowhere to be seen. They all had underestimated Peter. He had been the spy no one had suspected. He had accused Remus on more than one occasion of being a spy he saw now how wrong he had been.

Something down deep lurched. A smile broke out upon his face. He began to laugh; this was not a laugh of happiness or humor but of disbelief and anger. The muggles that had somehow survived looked at him like he was a lunatic. He felt like a lunatic. Aurors and Ministry officials arrived on the scene moments later. They quickly began oblviating the surviving Muggles. A young auror witch approached Sirius. She looked unnerved by the sight of him laughing while being surrounded by the bodies of many muggles. "Sir—--who are you?" the witch said in a quiet voice. Sirius saw that he was reaching for her wand in her robe pocket. "I'm—--Sirius—--Black." Sirius said between chuckles. Several others had joined them aiming their wands at Sirius. His laughter echoed around the street. "Luzira, Did he tell you his name? A elderly ministry wizard asked the young witch. "He said his name is Sirius Black." The old wizard gave Sirius a wild stare. " A Black—--Eh." The eldery wizard said. "It's not out of charistic for a Black to be a muggle hater." A young wizard joined the group. "I know him! The young wizard said. "We went to Hogwarts together! He is best mates with James Potter! At the sound of his late best mate's name stopped Sirius's laughter just for a moment.

A wizard with a scarred face and magical bulging eye appeared.

"That's what I thought as well." Mad-eye Moody growled. "Sirius was the Potter's secret keeper! He sold James and Lily to Voldemort!" Many of the witches and wizards gasped at the fact that Moody used Voldemort's name and at Moody's accusation. Sirius's laughing grew louder. The sun was beginning to rise. A young wizard sprinted towards them. "Alastor, we have a muggle here that is yet to be oblivated. He has information about what happened tonight! the young wizard said. Alastor Moody used a non-verbal spell to magically bind Sirius's wrists together. They lead Sirius over to a muggle man. "Can you tell us what you saw tonight?" Moody barked. The muggle gave Sirius who had finally stopped his laughter and was instead glaring at everyone. "Let me–" Sirius began."Be quiet, Sirius!" Moody interjected.

Moody gave Sirius a cold stare which Sirius returned. "Please begin sir." Moody said. The muggle gave another nervous glance then spoke in a shaky voice. "There were two men fighting one of them was him" The muggle man gestured to Sirius. "I was able to hear the name of the other man. He was called Peter. They both had these magic sticks—." "Wands." Moody corrected. "Alright wands, they used them to attack each other. The last thing I saw before I fell unconscious was a great blast of light.When I woke all those people were dead the man Peter was gone and that man was cackling wildly." The Muggle man said. "Thank you Sir, for the information." Moody said. "Oblivate him, Liveria,." Moody said to the young witch.

A young aurora wizard grabbed hold of one Sirius's binded arms and appreated. They arrived in a place that was extremely frigid. Sirius could hear the sound of waves crashing nearby. "Where am I?" Sirius asked. "Azkaban prison." The young wizard aurora said. "Why!?" Sirius said. "You commited murder and betrayed Lily and James Potter!" Sirius's heart sank. "I didn't. It was Peter Pettigrew—-" The aurora gave him a wild stare. "Peter Pettigrew is dead, you killed him!" The aurora interrupted, The only thing they were able to find in the debris of Pettigrew's body was his index finger!" The auror said.

"Don't I get a trial?"

"For what reason all proof points to you."

"No—"

"You'll be able to think about your actions for the rest of your life right here in Azkaban."

Ther young aurora forced Sirius into a cell. It was damp and cold. Then Sirius saw what was making Azkaban so unbearably cold, a dementor. Sirius sat on the floor with his face in his hands.He might not have betrayed the Potters but he was the reason they are dead and Harry is now an orphan. He had convinced James and Lily to be their secret keeper instead of him. He knew how furious Remus must be at him; he believed Sirius betrayed his best mate and his family.Sirius had lost everything. How could he have ever let this happen?" He had failed them. He sat for a long time letting everything sink in. Then a thought occurred to him. He wasn't guilty; he had made a horrible mistake by putting trust in the wrong person that cost his friends their lives. He would never betray his friends, he would never even consider it. He had to tell himself this even though he only half-heartedly believed it. He thought of Harry who he had made a promise to. Harry would spend the rest of his childhood unloved and unwanted. Sirius knew the feeling all too well. All he could do was hope Harry would be alright. As long as Sirius held on to hope he knew he could face any obstacle.

10 years later

Sirius stretched a bit after a long night's sleep on the cool damp floor. And began eating his breakfast which the contents was a complete mystery. The past ten years Sirius has tried to remain hopeful which is getting harder day by day. They had locked him in a cage and thrown away the key. He wasn't just a prisoner of Azkaban, he is a prisoner of his own mind. He felt immensely guilty about what had happened that night a decade ago. He had to remind himself however that he was innocent, he had trusted the wrong person. He hoped Lily and James would have understood. "Sirius?" Marinio the eldery Deatheater wizard said. Sirius approached the barred window that separated the cells. "What."Sirius replied in a cold voice. "You'll want to see this!" Marinio reached through the bars and handed Sirius a packet of paper.

"A Daily Prophet?"

"Sure is."

"Where did you get this?"

"While you were asleep an aurora came by to make sure all prisoners were accounted for I snatched it from his pocket."

"Can I keep this?"

"Yes"

Sirius sat upon his stone bench. The front page headline was

Harry Potter has arrived at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry! Sirius' heart leapt. "That is the little brat who defeated the dark lord! Barked Marino who was watching Sirius through the bars. "If I ever got my hands on that kid—--" Sirius felt a surge of anger that propelled him to his feet. He grabbed hold of Marino's prison robe collar. "You will never harm a hair on that boy's head!" Sirius yelled. "What are you going to do!" Marinio said in a taunting tone. "You're stuck here for life! I get out in a year or two and the first thing I do is avenge my master!" Sirius clutched Marino's shoulders and pushed him backwards. He hit the floor hard. Sirius settled himself back on the bench and studied the packet. Underneath the front page headline was a photo of a boy who's black hair stuck out every which way underneath his curricular glasses where his eyes which were a brilliant emerald green and upon his forehead was a lighting-bolt scar who was smiling awkwardly at the camera. He began reading.

Harry Potter The Boy Who Lived is now attending Hogwarts! Young Mr.Potter was sorted into Gryffindor. Inside intelligence tells us that Harry spends most of his time with

Ronald Weasley (Pure-blood) and Hermione Granger (Muggle-Born). Harry recently showed natural talent on a broom; he was chosen to be the youngest seeker in a century! I believe we will see great things from The Boy who Lived!

"Atta boy!" Sirius shouted. He continued reading. We have also learned that Harry has started a rivalry with Draco Malfoy son of Lucious Malfoy and Narcissa (Black) Malfoy who were known supporters of You- Know-who. The rest of the page was on the Malfoy family. Sirius flipped to the other page. The Horror's of Harry Potter's past

On Hallowen night 1981, You-Know-Who arrived at Godric's Hollow and killed Lily and James Potter. He attempted to kill Baby Harry as well when he was a year old. Somehow A baby was able to defeat one of the worst dark wizards that has ever lived. At this time the Potters were hiding their secret keeper being Sirius Black. Black betrayed the Potters and killed a friend of the Potters Peter Pettigrew and 12 muggles. Sirius will serve a lifetime in Azkaban prison. Sirius hoped Harry would never see this packet. He wished he could explain to him what happened that night. He moved onto the next heading.

Life with Muggles

After the horrible events of the night. Albus Dumbledore himself escorted Harry to live with the Dursleys, a muggle family. Petunia (Evans) Dursley is the sister of Lily (Evans) Potter. The Dursleys have never been kind to Harry. He was bullied by the Durleys' son Dudley Harry was also abused by his aunt and uncle. They made him sleep in a cupboard under the stairs until recently. Sirius reread the last part a few times to make sure he understood properly. He felt great sorrow for Harry. It was as he feared he would grow up. Anger began to bubble, how dare they treat Harry that way! Sirius decided he wanted to read no more and settled back on the ground. He day dreamed for a while about what life would have been like if things had happened differently...
