Author's Note: Yes I know that technically Sirius was not a Potter but he did move in with them as a teenager and he was like a brother to James and so I am doing him anyway. Hope you enjoy it!

Sirius

The knife-like rain slashed his skin as he ran, mingling with the salty tears which we were already sliding down his face. It was over; the pretending, the tuning out of insults and scorns, the bluffing, it was all over. Sirius couldn't brush it off any longer, his parents didn't love him. He could no longer pretend that they just didn't like showing affection, they hated him, they were never going to accept him. They were just going to get worse and worse, the beatings were going to get worse and worse, no… Sirius was going to be a Potter.
