Don't own Harry Potter blah blah blah...

Sirius' POV

Present

"And then you know what happens next." I said to the near silent room.

"He killed them." Harry said and I nodded.

"Yeah, seven months later... I wanted to go get you, but I needed to do something first." I looked at Harry. "I couldn't let Wormtail get away with that."

A day after James and Lily are killed

"They're dead." I told Clara, even though she had already heard the news about James and Lily. "He gave them away to save his own life."

"Sirius, sit down." She said with a shaky voice. "Please, just sit down..."

"No!" I snapped and then turned to her. "He let them die! He might as well have slit their throats himself! They are dead because of him!"

She looked at me again, trying to get me to calm down. "Sirius, you need to go see Harry. You're his godfather..."

"Not yet, I have to go get Wormtail." I told her. "I have to kill him."

"No!" She said frantically. I know now that I shouldn't get her stressed out, but I wasn't thinking strait. I wasn't thinking of her or my child. All I was thinking that I needed to kill Peter. "James wouldn't want you to kill anyone..."

"He sold them out Clara!" I told her.

"I know!" She said and then sat down, tears flowing from her eyes. "Just... Don't kill him..."

"I'm sorry, but I have to." I told her and then kissed her on the head. "Please, stay here."

"I can't. Not if you're going to kill him." She told me.

"I'm not sure what I am going to do." I told her. "I want to, no I need to kill him. But... You are right about one thing. James and Lily wouldn't want me to kill their friend, even if he did sell them out. So just... Stay here. Stay here Clara."

She looked up at me. "Please, Sirius..."

"I love you Clara." I said and kissed her softly before I turned to her. "Don't leave."

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"But when I came back... She was gone. I had just expected that she left me, not wanting to live with a murderer. I hadn't killed Peter, as you know." I then looked at Ron. "He escaped and lived as your family's rat."

"Was that the last you had heard of her?" Ginny asked me and I shook my head.

"No." I said and then sighed. "I saw her again, but not where I wanted to..."

A week after Clara left

I had looked around for her, just wanting to tell Clara that I didn't go through with the killing. That I just wanted her back.

And then I saw her picture in the newspaper. I picked it up and quickly read it, stunned at what I read.

"Clara Black," She had said my last name. "walked into the ministry today and admitted to using the avada kadavera curse. The woman admitted to killing no less then four muggles two days ago, but now denies ever saying so."

I shook my head as I read more. Two days ago? She left two days ago. But she didn't kill anyone! I knew her, she would never, ever kill anyone even if they deserved it.

I started to run to the ministry, literally running. I just needed to get there as soon as possible. She was being accused, no she admitted to killing four people. She didn't though, she must have been under a spell from You Know Who.

I needed to get there, as fast as I could. But as soon as I arrived...

They arrested me as well. "What are you doing?" I asked as I was surrounded.

"You're Sirius Black, are you not?" One of the men asked, pointing his wand at me.

"Yes! Please, what have I done?" I pleaded. Every second I wasn't with Clara was a chance that she could go to Azkaban.

"You are accused of the murder or Peter Pettigrew." He growled.

"What...?" I was dumbfounded. I didn't kill anyone...

But then again, Wormtail was gone. There was no way they could know that he was alive.

"I need to see her. Clara." I told them desperately as they dragged me away. He laughed bitterly.

"Clara Black? Oh yes, like you will ever get to see her. Both killers, betrayed James and Lily too." He said and looked at me.

"She has my child." I said to them. "She's pregnant!"

"She has had her child." The man told me and my heart dropped.

"She didn't even have it for nine months..." As I thought more, it made more sense that she had the child early. She must have had so much stress. The thought of me becoming a killer, and then admitting to a murder she never committed.

I then looked up at them. "I need to see her."

He then smirked and threw me down on the floor. "After your trials, Black."
