Chapter 3
A/N just before I start this chapter, my Hagrid impression is pretty bad, so don't judge
10 months later
Sirius pales. In front of him is the Potters house. Its destroyed. The whole right side of the house is in ruins. He hears a baby's cry from inside the house. Sirius runs toward the sound of the child. He had come to pick up Tia from the Potters, when he saw the wreckage. He knew that the sound of a baby crying was a good thing, but he could only hear one. There was meant to be two! Where's the other?! What about James and Lily?! "JAMES!" Sirius screamed "LILY?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Sirius kept yelling. He through the front door, not looking where he was going, he tripped. He glanced at the ground to see what he fell over and there, lying on the ground, his face set in a grimace was James Potter. He wanted to scream. Sirius gripped the cuffs of his leather jacket. Tears dripped down his face. He fell to his knees and gripped James' shoulders. He wanted to scream, he did. He wanted to yell, try and wake James up as if he were asleep. He wanted to scream about how unfair it was that James, his brother, had died when he had his whole life ahead of him. He wanted to kill Voldemort, strangle the life out of him for the crime that he committed, but he didn't. He couldn't. He had to find Harry or Tia or Lily. With one final look at James, with his glasses perched wonkily on his nose, Sirius stood up and began to search the house for the others.
Sirius would've stayed there, but the loud, consistent cries of a baby made him move. James was dead and Lily probably was too, but at least one baby was alive, and he'd be damned if he was going to leave that baby alone.. The crying seemed to be coming from upstairs, so Sirius took a deep breath and put one foot in front of the other as he ascended up the stairs. He took a right into Harry's room. There, lying on the ground looking almost the exact same as her husband was Lily Potter. Her red hair fanned out behind her head and her emerald eyes were dull. Sirius let a few more tears roll down his nose. While Lily had never really been that close throughout their schooling, well they only started being friends in 7th year, he got quickly attached to the fiery redhead. She became a good friend and her death hurt almost as much as James' death did. Not bearing to look at her body any longer, he looked up and saw Harry crying and sitting in his cot. His black hair that resembled James so much stuck up at the back. The baby's face was blotchy and red from crying. He had a cut on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. Sirius picked up his godchild and hugged him close. "it's ok little mate" Sirius said to Harry. Sirius looked around the destroyed nursery for Tia. He couldn't see any sign of her. Then some debris in the corner started to move. Sirius grabbed his wand and held it at the moving tiles. Then a little head of dark hair appeared. "Tia!" Sirius sighed in relief. He picked up both babies and walked them outside, being careful not to show either of the children too much of James and Lily. He placed both children in the side car of his flying motorbike. Usually both kids loved his bike, Tia especially, but both kids seemed to not be in the mood. Not that he blamed them.
-LINE BREAK-
To say that Hagrid appearing out of now where was a surprise to Sirius would be an understatement. Sirius nearly jumped out of his skin when the half-giant 'fell' from the sky. Hagrid hadn't changed from when Sirius last saw him. Same bushy beard and dark brown twinkling eyes. Sirius sometimes thought that Hagrid took lessons from Dumbledore to make his eyes twinkle like that. "evenin' Sirius" Hagrid said, his deep voice rumbling.
"Hagrid" Sirius nodded "What's your business in this neck of the woods" Sirius said with a laugh. He knew that if he didn't laugh, he would cry. "Dumbledore sent meh to collect little 'arry 'ere" Hagrid said, gesturing to the boy in question. Sirius closed up instantly.
"You aren't taking Harry Hagrid" Sirius said with a glare. "He is MY god child and that means that good ol' dumbles has no control over him. You can't have him"
"Ah but Sirius" Hagrid started "He'll be safe wit 'is aunt 'nd uncle. Their 'is only livin' relatives. He'll be safe there, away from all the bustle and hustle of the wizardin' world". Sirius looked at Hagrid, true harry would have a better life away from wizards, but he couldn't live with his aunt and uncle. Sirius had heard horror stories about Petunia and her new husband Vernon (or vermin and Sirius called him) from Lily. But if Harry was safe….
No! what was he thinking! Harry was his god child and he will raise him. "NO Hagrid. Harry is my child and I won't let a bunch of stupid muggles take care of him! Plus I already have to take care of Tia, adding another kid can't be too hard" Sirius says. Hagrid shakes his head
"You can't take care of two 'ittle ones Sirius. Let me take 'arry to 'is aunt 'nd uncle". Sirius looked down at Harry. He looked so small and tiny. If he was going to be safer with his aunt and uncle then…... Sirius looked back up at Hagrid, determination set in his eyes. "Take both of them" Sirius says as he shoves both harry and Tia into Hagrid's arms "and you can take my bike, I won't be needing it anymore" Rage so sudden and harsh formed in Sirius' gut. He couldn't go after Voldemort, but he could go after the next best thing. Peter Pettigrew.
