Thanks for the reviews guys! :)

This is the final chapter of my first ever fanfiction.

I hope you enjoy!

Sirius closed his eyes and went completely still. He did not move an inch. He did not even breathe.

Orion looked down on him. "Sirius?"

There was no reply.

"Sirius! Get up and go to your room!" Orion shouted. A frown appeared on his face. He gave Sirius a soft kick, but he still did not move. Bending down, he listened for breathing then took Sirius' pulse. It was faint. Very faint. Orion stood up and backed away, his chest heaving.

"Walburga!" He shouted his wife's name as he rushed down the corridor and into the kitchen.

Sirius' eyes snapped open the moment his father entered the kitchen. This was his chance. Silently, but swiftly, he got to his feet, ignoring the pain in his stomach and right rib-cage. He grabbed his rucksack and broom and opened the door, taking one last look at his "home".

There was a small, dark silhouette of a boy at the bottom of the staircase.

Sirius opened his mouth to say something to his brother, but suddenly his parents came rushing down the corridor.

"Don't you dare!" Sirius heard his father shout before mounting his broom and taking off. He was high up in the air before his parents even reached the door.

He looked behind him, at the astonished faces of his parents and smirked, giving them a quick salute. Their faces grew small as he ascended into the clouds.

"WHOOOOOO!" He let out a cry of joy, lifting his hands up into the air, before very nearly falling off his broom.

He was finally free! He could feel the air rush past him as he raced through the sky. He felt like he was going the fastest he had ever gone before. The sky was growing dark, but it would only take a few hours to reach James' house.

He was the happiest he had ever been in his life!

Sirius was the most miserable he had ever been in his life. He was cold, drenched with rain, hungry, thirsty, tired and worst of all, lost. He took the letters from James out of his pocket and read the address once again, trying to shield the parchment from the fast-falling rain. He should have been there by now. It had been 5 hours since he left and he needed to stop. He couldn't see a thing in the dark and the fog.

He set down on the side of a lonely countryside road and sat on a wall, looking out at the fields. Suddenly there was a rustle of leaves behind him. He jumped but tried to stay as silent as he could. He looked at where the noise had come from, but it was too dark to see. Just as he was about to get his wand out, he remembered that he was not allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts.

But what if someone was there, in the bushes? He had heard stories of Dark Wizards. The most powerful one was on the rise and he had many followers. His parents talked about it all the time; how they wanted Regulus to join them when he left Hogwarts. Sirius took deep breaths. He had his broom in his hand, ready to fly off if necessary.

Then a cat walked out from behind the hedge. Just a cat. Sirius laughed with relief.

He could see, even in the dim light, that the cat was orange with stripes. It was very fluffy, but it was also drenched in rain, just like Sirius. "Are you lost too, then?" Sirius asked the cat. The cat stared at him with an almost amused expression on its face. Sirius sighed as it ran off along the road.

He was so tired. He needed to sleep and wished he could, but he needed to get to the Potters. And anyway, he couldn't sleep here, could he?

"I'll just take a nap, just for 10 minutes, then I'll get up again," he said to himself with a nod. "I probably won't be able to get to sleep out here anyway," he thought, as he lay down on the soft, damp grass. He immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"Good boy!" Sirius heard a voice above him. "Good cat!"

He recognised the voice, but he didn't know where from. Even though his eyes were closed, he could feel the sun beating down on them, and light shone through his eyelids.

Then he remembered what had happened. He opened his eyes and sat up, ready to defend himself.

"Sirius! Finally decided to get up, have we?" A smile transformed Sirius' face when he saw his friends' face in front of him.

"James!" He said, noticing the orange cat that James was holding. "How did you find me?"

"Well, our cat was behaving very strangely this morning; almost like he was trying to tell us something!" James replied with a laugh. "He led us to you! I am so glad you're here. I was starting to get bored!"

"Thanks!" Sirius said, stroking the cat gratefully.

"My mum's making some food for you. You look starved!"

"Yup. I'm as hungry as a dog!"

"You can't be serious! That was the worst joke ever!"

"Very funny Prongs. Very funny,"
