Hi readers. Starinthenight (Gerleen) and I have been looking through our old writings and have decided that this story has potential but we should rewrite it. This is going to be different from what we wrote a few years ago. I do hope you all enjoy it better. Please R&R

Sirius Black Escaped From Azkaban

Wizarding World on high alert

"We will catch him soon but as a precaution, keep all doors and windows locked, report any sightings, and don't go out after dark and most importantly, stay calm. The Ministry of Magic has everything under control." Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge warns the public.

This reporter has received news that notorious Sirius Black has escaped from the wizard prison Azkaban after being placed there twelve years ago for the murder of twelve muggles and wizard, Peter Pettigrew. He is the first wizard known to have gotten past the dementors of Azkaban. It is not yet sure how he slipped past the guards but he will not get past them again.

Dementors have been stationed at the Wizarding community Hogsmeade and the school Hogwarts to insure Black does not get any ideas. The muggle Prime Minister has also been notified of the escape and the general public of the muggles have been warned that Black is escaped from prison and has a gun, a type of metal wand. This reporter would like to say that the ministry is certain that Black does not have a wand and with both the Wizarding World and the muggle community of England on high alert, Black will not get far.

If anyone sights Black, do not try to catch him for he is not known to be forgiving and will kill. Seek shelter and fire call the Ministry immediately!

Beneath the article was a rather nasty picture of me. They think they'd give their favorite criminal a better picture than the one they took when they arrested me.

That's right, I'm Sirius Black. Wait, wait; don't leave. Hear me out please. I didn't commit those crimes. Will you stop screaming already! Thank you.

Yes, my name is Sirius Black. Yes, they did arrest me twelve years ago. Yes, I did escape Azkaban but that's only because they wrongfully accused me now they've got the entire of Britain on high alert, how's a man to breath? Talk about pressure. So, do you want to know what really happened? Fine, you're no fun. But I'll tell you anyway, pull up a seat my dear fellow; for this is a long story.

Well it all began back in 1980. Harry had just been born. Adorable kid, he had these bright green eyes like Lily, that's really odd for a newborn you know. And Lily and James named me Godfather, me, I was so happy. Ahem, anyway, on with the story. Well, soon after they caught wind that someone was after them no other than Lord Voldemort.

I said NO SCREAMING! Honestly, it's only a name. No I am not saying that because I'm one of his followers. Can I continue my story please? No more interruptions! Thank you ever so much.

As I was saying before I was interrupted so rudely. The Potters had to go into hiding and so they performed the Fedilius charm on their new house in Godric's Hollow and made it unplotable and all that fun stuff, I didn't really pay attention when they put the charms up. But the thing is Lord Voldemort-shut up- couldn't find them. Now, you might be thinking, "Sirius, tell me how the Fedilius charm works" and I will. Don't shake your head at me, it's rather rude.

When the Fedilius is performed there has to be a secret keeper, one person that is the sole person able to tell anyone where the object is, in this case the house. After the secret keeper tells the person, they know where it is but they cannot tell anyone else. Naturally I was going to be their secret keeper but I declined graciously saying that it'd be too obvious if Voldemort came after me. Wow, you only flinched that time. So I suggested Peter, one of our friends, be secret keeper instead. I thought he'd be the last person that would be thought to be secret keeper.

I was wrong, for the first time ever. What do you mean you don't believe that? I had really never been wrong before that point ever. Yes sir. Anyway! Peter went to Voldemort and he told him where the Potters were. Now I had planned to check on Peter that night, we hadn't heard from him in a bit. It was Halloween night. Peter was supposed to be hiding as well just as extra precaution. But when I got to his house, he wasn't there and I felt something had happened, I raced to Godric's Hollow on my spiffy motorbike. Yes people still stay spiffy!

I got there and the Potter's house was in ruins and after a little… disagreement with Hagrid, oh you know Hagrid, nice man yeah, he wouldn't let me have my Godson though, that's what we fought about. Well, I let Hagrid take my motorbike, he needed to get all the way to Surrey and that's a day's flight. Oh yeah, I forgot to say my motorbike flies…hmm, I wonder where it's at now…

Well I found Peter the next morning and turns out he did betray the Potters. I was mad maybe mad enough to kill, but I didn't! I swear; you have to believe me!

Peter killed them! He blew up the entire street; I never knew he had it in him. Then he turned back and I was ready to duel him but I can't believe I'm saying this, that little rat caught me first with a laughing charm. I doubled over laughing as he cut off his own finger and transformed into a rat. He's an undocumented animagus. Hey cool, you believe me. It's too long a story to explain how he became an animagus, that's back when we were at Hogwarts.

Well I'm sure you know the rest. The Ministry Aurors arrived; they found me laughing and took me away to Azkaban. I didn't get a trial. So you see how I was unlawfully placed in that hell hole!

Now, I'm sure you'd like to know how I escaped and what I've been up to since then. Stay a while, please, I know my charm is getting to you. You will! Yes, I win…I mean… on with my story…
