I own nothing. This all goes to Rick Riordan and JK Rowling respectively.
Chapter 1
A beam of green light flashed across to the now sobbing boys' mother and the ear-splitting scream of a woman filled the room. A strange man lurked over the lifeless figure that was their mother. The boys' clung to the bars of their crib. Their cries echoed through the empty house. The strange man walked towards them, an ugly smirk slowly spreading across his face. He raised his wand and said "Avada Kedavra!" The same green light that had taken their parent's lives erupted from the wand of the strange man, and it was aimed directly at them.
Suddenly, the green beam of light collided with a purple mist which shrouded the boys' crib. It ricocheted off the mist and struck him. He shrieked as he felt the last piece of his soul split in two. He could feel the pieces leave his body. He disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
A few minutes later a man with shaggy black hair and grey eyes entered the destroyed house; Sirius Black was his name. Tears were running down his face as he stared at the lifeless bodies of James and Lily Potter. He took a moment to accept the death of his friends before staggering over to the crying boys and picking them up gently.
He walked outside and climbed onto his flying motorbike, revving the engine a couple of times before taking off into the night sky.
A few hours later he landed in America, New York.
"I better put them in an orphanage before Dumbledore sends them to those stupid muggles," he muttered to himself.
He walked over to a building with a sign that read 'Sunshine Orphanage.' He couldn't help but think how bad a name that was, not to mention it didn't fit the picture. The orphanage looked like an abandoned house with its cracked windows and rotting wooden planks.
He knocked at the door and a few moments later the door loudly squeaked open, revealing a kind looking lady that did not match the house.
"Hello there," she greeted.
"Hi, " Sirius replied, "I had a friend who recently passed away and was wondering if I could leave their children here." He looked down. "I have to hunt down that traitor," he muttered under his breath.
"Why of course. I'm always trying to help as many people as I can in these situations. Do they have names?" she inquired.
"This is Harry Potter," he started, gesturing to who he was mostly sure was Harry, "and this is Perseus Potter," he finished, gesturing to the other boy.
"Their father was James Potter and their mother was Lily Potter." he added softly, the pain of their deaths still fresh.
"Oh dear God, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, "How did-how did they pass?"
"They died... in a car crash. Yeah, a car crash." Sirius replied.
"Oh, the poor dears. I promise I'll look after them as best I can until they find a loving family." she said, a determined look on her face.
Sirius placed the two boys in her arms and said his good byes.
"I hope I get to see them soon," he said to himself as he drove off into the night sky.
