I'm in Hell. (Sirius's Life in Azkaban.)

Chapter 1. – My life before Azkaban.

My life used to be so sweet before I got locked up in Azkaban. For those of you who don't know. Azkaban is the wizarding prison. But the time for Azkaban will come in this story of my life. But let's not dwell on that right now.

I used to spend my life before Azkaban with my best mates, Remus Lupin, James Potter and his wife Lily Potter and Peter Pettigrew. At that time I never knew what I do now. Never knew that one of my best friends would turn out to be a traitor and would be the reason for two of my best friend's deaths.

Life was swell; we were all just fun loving people. James and Lily had a son called Harry and me and Remus was made honorary godfathers. I used to take Harry on my flying motorbike. I can still remember his laughter as we swooped over street after street. I would be reprimanded by James and Lily for taking Harry on my motorbike, and jeez was Lily scary when she was advancing on me wand raised, but they soon forgave me when they realized how much Harry loved it.

But that life ended the day when we found out that Lord Voldemort was after, little Harry. Dumbledore had found out from his spy in Lord Voldemort's inner circle, Severus Snap, also known as Snivellus by me and James. Oh those were the greatest days. When we were the marauders of Hogwarts in our childhood. We were the cause of many pranks. That was the day when our life turned upside down. We were all part of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore had made us use Snape to find out what Voldemort was planning.

So through him we found out that Voldemort had chosen Harry as the boy who the prophecy spoke about. And so Voldemort decided to track down James, Lily and little Harry. Dumbledore begged Lily and James to make him the secret keeper when he charmed their house to protect them from Voldemort. But they declined and made Pettigrew the secret keeper. I disagreed with their decision but I kept quiet, it was up to them as it was their safety at risk and not mine.

But on October 31st 1981, Halloween would you believe it! The devil's son (Voldemort.) came and I didn't know how then but he found James and Lily and slaughtered them, before little Harry's eyes. Then what did he do but turn his wand on little Harry and cast the killing curse at him too. I arrived there a few minutes before Hagrid arrived. The house was almost destroyed when I got there. I had flown there on my flying motorbike. Which is awesome. I love my bike!

So I went inside to retrieve Harry from the remains of their house. I could hear him crying and wailing from his nursery on the top floor. It was hard for me; my heart was shattered into a thousand pieces in just a few minutes as I had to walk past my best friend and his wife's corpses. I felt like breaking down and turning into mulch but I had to stay strong for little Harry, me and Remus and Pettigrew were the only family he had left now. Realization suddenly struck me as I realized that it was Pettigrew's doing. His fault! Rage and fury bubbled up inside me I wanted to go and hunt him down now and tear him apart limb by limb. But I heard Harry's desolate wails even louder now and knew that tearing that rat apart would have to wait. I went up to the nursery and saw Lily on the floor; she had died trying to protect her son as James had died to protect them. I saw Harry looking at his mother's dead body and tears that were rolling down his cheeks. I saw the lightning bolt cut that was on his head. I smiled sadly at him, "Hello Harrikins." I said as I forced the lump out of my throat.

He paid no attention to me, he just continued to stare at his mother's body and cry. I hid him in my cloak to hide the view from him for any longer. I took him back downstairs and outside where Hagrid was still waiting. "I'm his godfather Hagrid. I'll look after him." I said fiercely.
"No. I'm sorry Sirius but Professor Dumbledore said he has to come with me. To his aunt an' uncles." Hagrid said, holding out his arms.
"No! He's my godson! My responsibility!" I yelled, gripping Harry tighter to my chest.
"Give 'im here Sirius. Professor Dumbledore's orders." Hagrid replied stubbornly. I sighed there was no way I was going to win this battle.
"At least let me clean his cut and say goodbye." I said, blinking the tears away from my eyes. I cleaned the cut on Harry's head. Then kissed his forehead. "Take my bike too. I won't need it anymore. Not where I'm going." I cast an Engorgement charm on the bike and handed Harry to Hagrid, wrapping the bundle of blankets tighter around him. I smiled sadly as I watched Hagrid kick the engine into ignition and watched as he flew away taking my godson with him. That when the anger bubbled over and I turned into my dog form animagus and off I went on a rat hunt.
