Chapter two
All day Sirius had this feeling that something bad was going to happen. He couldn't shake the feelings that James and his family were in trouble. So he finally flooed Peter to check on him hoping that would calm his fears but when he got no answer. He knew something was up so he rode his motor bike to Godric's Hollow. When he arrived at the Potter's residence, he was horrified to see their home in shambles. He felt that it was own fault for going along with Peter being the Secret-Keeper as it looks like he had been taken and most likely tortured for the information. It wasn't any big secret that Peter was a weakling that could easily be broken and that was why James thought it was such a good idea for him to be the Secret-Keeper as he would be the last person anyone would believe the Potters picked.
He was about to walk inside the house and see if anyone survived, he saw Peter leaving the house and knew he was the traitor. For over a year, he along with some others knew that someone in the Order had been passing on information to Voldemort. He and some others had suspected Remus but now….now he sees that it was a big mistake. It wasn't Remus but the man he had trusted to keep his best friend, wife and godsons lives safe. Peter Pettigrew.
With a growl of rage he set after Peter and the bloody coward took off. For the rest of the night, Sirius tracked down Peter Pettigrew with the intent of killing him.
Finally, he corned Peter in Muggle London and was about to take him down when Peter started crying and screaming at Sirius. It was enough to distract him from sending the spell that was on his lips.
"Sirius….How could you betray James? Why? We were like family!" cried Peter keeping the smirk from his face.
"You sniveling liar, I didn't betray them but you did," growled Sirius pointing his wand at Peter.
"But you Sirius, it is your fault they're dead!" by now Peter was screaming hysterically and had drawn a crowd.
"Why you….." snarled Sirius and was about to cast a spell but Peter reacted quicker and shot off a spell at the street around him. Sirius watched helplessly as several muggles were killed and it all the chaos he saw Pettigrew cutting of his finger before changing into his rat form running into the sewer.
The only thing Sirius could do was laugh. Peter considered by anyone who met him was a weak inferior wizard had fooled not only him but everyone for so long. What kind of Auror was he if he couldn't even notice that his best friend had become a dark wizard? It wasn't long before the Aurors arrived but Sirius didn't care and continued to laugh. He laughed as he was carted off and even as he was taken to Azkaban without a trial. He just continued to laugh, as if he had gone insane and maybe he had just a little. It wasn't like he cared much since he was feeling to guilty over the fact it was his fault that the Potters were dead. He wouldn't learn until much later that the Potters had indeed lived.
It had been two months since Voldemort had attacked Godric's Hollow, and they had gone by agonizingly slowly for the youngest Potter child.
Harry remembered the events that took place that night as clear as day. Even when he tried to forget the terrifying memory, flashes of red eyes or green lights would run through his mind, refusing to be pushed to the background and ignored. He often woke up from frightening nightmares in a cold sweat and a tear streaked face, but no one was there to comfort him. His parents were to busy with Jake.
Harry noticed the favoritism as soon as he woke up in the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts days after the attack, to find his family no where in sight. He learn from Madam Pomfrey they had taken Jake out for ice cream. Harry felt so alone and angry that his family had abandoned him.
When he seen them hours later, he learnt that everyone thought Jake was the one that defeated Voldemort and when he tried to protest no one would listen and he realized no one would ever believe him about what he done. Everyone will believe to it was Jake no matter what.
So he stayed silent and waited until the day they would know the truth.
A/N: I know it was cruel to take Sirius out of the picture but it was necessary for my story. In my opinion Remus is a follower so will follow James' lead. In the original Sirius was there and still apart of Harry's life so Remus was as well. I need Harry a bit more isolated.
