A.N: I always wanted to read a story of Sirius' side of Prisoner of Azkaban but I never found one finished. So I decide to write one myself. I plan to update every Monday. Hope you like it!
Are Story Begins…
Our story starts at the coldest place on earth. No not in temperature, but in the feelings of happiness, are story starts in a place where you can never feel happy. This feeling of cold comes from dementors. Dementors are hooded flying creatures. No one has ever lived to see what was underneath a dementor's hood, because when a dementor shows a person what is under there hood it sucks out the person's soul. Why would such a place like this exist you ask me. Well this place is where all the witches and wizards go when the committed horrible crimes. This place is surrounded by water. No exit unless you apparate out or if you are lucky to be able swim out of the water to dry land which is a low probability. No one has ever escaped Azkaban yet. But that is about to change.
There were dementors station at all the doors in the building. Just one step in this place and everything around you and inside you turns cold. You do not think that you will ever be happy again in your life. There is one wizard on guard. He stands against the wall checking his watch every few minutes. He is only there to escort Cornelius Fudge, the Minster of Magic, around during his inspection of Azkaban. The place holds many prisoners; most did horrible things, and most were already insane. But one prisoner, one special prisoner is the one we are going to pay attention to today.
His name happens to be Sirius Black. Yes at this moment Sirius Black sat against the wall in his small cell at Azkaban. You may be wondering why we are talking about Sirius Black. Some of you may ask 'How did Sirius get into Azkaban in the first place?' and on and on your question might go. In do time your question will be answered. In do time. Sirius sat there thinking. About what you ask me. I do not know but if you asked Sirius that day he might be able to tell you. And here is where the story begins...
'How long have I been here? 10, 11, 12 years has it been already? Why am I still sane, or as sane as I could be? How could Peter betray them? How could he betray all of us?' Sirius thought. James and Lily were still hard to think about for Sirius. 'How could he do this to everyone? We were best friends, no we were brothers. Looking back now Peter did seem a little distant during the ending of sixth year and the whole seventh year. And I admit it James and I probably should not have picked on him so much. But he was still like my brother. He was like my brother. Not anymore. Oh great the dementors are back. Who do they want this time?' Sirius thought. These thoughts were always in his head. Sirius would think over and over seeing if he did something else or what if he did this. For what else could Sirius think about?
'What about their son Harry? I was the godfather. I am supposed to raise Harry. Not be locked up in a cell. He would be about 13 now wouldn't he? Poor James and Lily, they will never see there son grow up.' Right then Cornelius Fudge walked by Sirius' cell. 'Checking up on prisoners is he? Maybe he should make sure everyone in Azkaban is guilty. Then again I am guilty for their deaths. Well half guilty. I did not sell them to Voldemort. If only I did not tell Lilly and James to switch secret keepers with Peter.' Sirius thought. 'What is Fudge holding?' Sirius stood up and walked to the bars of his cell. He reached towards the newspaper.
"Better watch out Fudge. That Black might steal your paper." The guard escorting Fudge said.
"Thank you for the warning Phil, but Black here can have the paper. I do not have a use for it anymore." Cornelius Fudge said. He handed Sirius the paper and headed on his way to finish his inspection of Azkaban.
Sirius took the paper.
MINISTRY OF MAGIC EMPLOYEE SCOOPS GRAND PRIZE!
Arthur Weasley, Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic, has won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize Galleon Draw. A delight Mr. Weasley told the Daily Prophet, "We will be spending the gold on a summer holiday in Egypt, where our eldest son, Bill, works as a curse breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank." The Weasley family will be spending a month in Egypt, returning for the start of the new school year at Hogwarts, which five Weasley children currently attend.
Also on the paper was a picture of the Weasley family. In the photo standing in front of a giant pyramid were Mrs. Weasley, , and all six of there children. The thing that caught Sirius eye was the rat on the boy in the middle of the photo's shoulder. 'From all the times I have seen Peter transform that has to be him. Even his finger is missing. It says that 5 of the kids are going to Hogwarts. The two kids in the photo right there are too old that means that the boy with the rat is going to Hogwarts. That means Peter is going to Hogwarts too. He is going to be near Harry. To think what he might do if Voldemort ever came back or gave a sign saying he was gaining power. I have to get out of here and kill that rat.' Sirius thought.
The dementors came by to give Sirius his food and to suck some more happiness out of his soul. But this time Sirius did not feel the dementor's presence. For Sirius was only thinking of away to escape. Away to save Harry and kill that rat of a friend Peter. With that Sirius fell asleep.
The guard Phil and Minster Fudge just finished with there inspection of Azkaban. They pasted Sirius' cell on the way out.
"He's at Hogwarts."
They froze. Fudge turned around to look at Sirius' cell. Again Sirius said.
"He's at Hogwarts."
Fudge looked closer to see that Sirius was asleep and holding the newspaper page he gave him earlier.
"He's at Hogwarts."
Sirius said that over and over in his sleep. 'Black is talking in his sleep. He must be going mad. Why is he talking about Harry Potter? It is nothing. For what was Black going to do escape Azkaban and go kill Harry Potter himself and become the next You-Know-Who? Like that would ever happen.' Fudge thought. Then Fudge walked back with the guard out of Azkaban and apparated back to his warm happy home far away from the horrible prison.
But Fudge was wrong. Sirius was not talking about Harry. He was talking about Peter and yes Sirius was going to escape Azkaban, but not to kill Harry, but to kill Peter and save Harry. And this is how are story begins.
