A/N: So I totally messed up on daily already. It's Thanksgiving week here in America, and I happen to work for one of the biggest retail stores in the world. I run one of the grocery departments in the store I work in, so it's been crazy busy all week and yesterday was absolutely insane. I kind of collapsed when I got home and didn't think about too much except food, sleep, and playing the new mobile Animal Crossing game. So, let's try this again!

Sirius didn't stir when a light breeze rattled through the alleyway, ruffling his fur slightly. His wide eyes took in the sight before him and it took all of his effort to remain calm.
He'd come a long way just to see Harry, to catch a glimpse of his godson after twelve long years. To stumble on the boy here, several streets away from where he knew Lily's sister and her family lived, surprised him. Harry was clearly flustered. He was sitting on a low wall in the silent neighborhood that Sirius had been passing through. His school trunk sat on the ground at his feet. His wand was clutched in his hand firmly. Sirius could hear him breathing, quickly and raggedly, from his hiding spot.
Sirius watched as Harry dug through his trunk. He looked so like James that it made Sirius's heart hurt. The same ruffled black hair, the same facial features, even the way he moved reminded Sirius so much of his old friend.
Harry suddenly stood up straight and muttered, "Lumos." Light flooded Sirius's hiding spot and as he watched Harry fall over his own trunk in fright, Sirius knew he had to get moving. He hadn't meant to frighten Harry, but he imagined seeing a big black dog watching you from a dark alley could be a bit scary. Sirius was glad that Harry had been able to grow up, even if the life he had now was not what it should've been.
Now that Sirius had seen his godson, it was time to avenge the deaths of Harry's parents.
