'Thoughts'
Chapter 1 Rewritten
And so It begins
31st October 1981
Marauder's Den, Diagon Alley
5 pm
Sirius groaned as he collapsed onto his couch. Another order meeting. Another meeting listening to Albus Bloody Dumbledore tell them they needed to stun and disarm Death eaters instead of kill or wound. 'How the hell are we going to win this war if we don't fight back?' Sirius wondered as he looked at the clock. He wished he could go see James and Lily. And of course Little Harry. Just thinking of Harry made Sirius smile. The kid was like a ray of light in the dark of the night. 'He also has a prophecy hanging over his head.' Sirius thought with a frown. His last thought as he drifted off to sleep was of His brother and his little family and he prayed to Merlin the three of them made it out alive.
Marauder's Den, Diagon Alley
7 pm
YEEOOOOOWWW. YEEOOOOOWWW. Sirius jerked awake and looked around in confusion. YEEOOOOOWWW. YEEOOOOOWWW. 'The Alarm?' Sirius thought in confusion before he paled in realization. A feeling of terror filled him. That only meant one thing. Peter had betrayed them.
'The alarm. It was only supposed to go off if Peter betrayed James. You son of a bitch.' Sirius thought as he grabbed his jacket off the back of the couch. He jumped as a doe appeared in his living room. Lily's voice rang out: "Sirius….Don't come to the cottage. Convince Mad-Eye of your innocence and Promise me you will take care of Harry. Don't let Albus put him with my Sister. If you can't convince Moody Send my Will to Alice and Frank. On second hand make a copy and send it to Severus just in case. We love you, Sirius. Make sure you raise Harry like he's your own. Now go. Lily take harry and go." Sirius let out a choked sob at the sound of James' voice as the Protronus faded away.
"I Solemnly Swear to raise his as my own Lily. He will grow up loved and he will know of his parent's bravery and how they loved him. I swear it." Sirius whispered and he grabbed lily's will and made a copy. 'Time to convince Mad-Eye.' Sirius thought as he apparated out of his apartment.
Mad-Eye Moody's House, Location Unknown
7:30 pm
"Mad-Eye! You paranoid bastard, get your ass out here!" Sirius shouted at the house. It was a small house, painted yellow and looked pretty normal. And it was If it wasn't for the fact that the trash cans would eat you and an extremely paranoid soon-to-be-retired Auror lived there.
"What do you want you lily-livered traitor?" Mad-Eye shouted back sending an Expelliarmus at Sirius, through the window of his living room.
"Protego! To prove I didn't betray them!" Sirius shouted, smiling slightly at the fact that Moody was sending harmless hexes at him.
"Reducto! Why should I believe you?" Mad-eye shot back.
"Look out the window and I'll Swear an oath that I didn't do it." Sirius said dodging the Reducto. Ok so maybe the hexes weren't so harmless.
"Prove It." Mad-Eye called. Seeing Mad-Eye standing in the window with his wand at the ready, Sirius relaxed slightly and moved where Moody could see him.
"I, Sirius Orion Black, Here so swear on my life and my magic that I did not betray my brother in all but blood James Issac Potter nor his wife Lily Marie Potter nee Evans to the man known as Voldemort." Sirius called as a brilliant, gold light appeared around him.
"Well, you're still standing Black. Now prove you still have magic." Mad-Eye called watching him.
"Lumos." Sirius said, grinning when the tip of his wand lit up like a beacon and Mad-Eye began to limp toward him. "Nox," Sirius said as Mad-Eye reached him.
"Well, this is something Black. What Now?" Mad-Eye asked watching Sirius.
"I'm Going to the Potter's and get Harry. You'll back me at the ministry?" Sirius asked as he zipped up his jacket.
"I'll meet you there in two hours," Mad-Eye said with a nod as he apparated away.
Potter Cottage, Godric's Hollow
8 pm
Sirius paled as he appeared on the front lawn of one of his favorite places. The front door was standing wide open. One-sided of the top floor had caved in. Sirius closed his eyes and concentrated on breathing. Having a panic attack would help absolutely no one. Sirius tensed and spun around quickly when he heard the crunching of the grass behind him.
"Hagrid?" Sirius asked in surprise.
"Sirius." Hagrid said as he made his way towards the house.
"Hagrid wait, let me do it." Sirius said catching up with him.
"Ehh?" Hagrid asked looking at Sirius. Sirius didn't answer as they walked into what was left of Godric's Hollow.
"James. Oh, Prongs. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Sirius sobbed as he dropped to his knees next to James Potter's body. Sirius felt dizzy. He was never going to hear James laugh again. He was never going to see James' eyes light up when he got a crazy idea. There would be no more running together on a full moon with Remus. No more jokes. With shaking hands Sirius reached out and closed the once Bright hazel eyes that now stared blankly up at the ceiling. Hagrid sniffled as he watched Sirius close James' eyes. A sudden wail brought them back. Sirius shoved his anger and pain down at the sound of his godson crying.
"What was that?" Hagrid asked looking around in confusion.
"Harry!" Sirius called out as he began to make his way upstairs. The crying got louder as he moved toward the nursery. Tears filled his eyes as he came across Lily's body. If seeing James dead had felt like a punch to the stomach, Seeing Lily felt like getting hit in the heart with a bludger. He was never going to hear her laugh again. Never have to drag her out of her makeshift potions lab. Never see her shake her head and roll her eyes fondly at him and James. Hever see her eyes light up when she saw Harry and James. He was never gonna see Lily change the world like she had wanted to. Sirius took a deep breath and looked around the room. That was when he noticed a crumbled cloak and a wand that wasn't Lily's. Wiping away the tears he knelt down and gently closed Lily's eyes and lifted her up.
"I'll be right back Harry." Sirius said with a sad smile as he moved back towards the stairs.
"Sirius?" Hagrid called.
"I'm so sorry Lily. I promise you that I will take care of him." Sirius whispered as he carried her down the stairs. Hagrid let out a shaky sob as Sirius laid Lily next to James.
"Where's 'arry?" Hagrid asked sadly.
"Upstairs," Sirius said as he straightened and went back upstairs. With a sad sigh, Sirius picked Harry up and carried him downstairs.
"Give 'im 'ere Sirius," Hagrid said reaching for Harry.
"What? Why?" Sirius asked stepping back slightly.
"Dumbledore said 'e 'ad to be kept safe. Said 'e 'ad to go to his Aunt an Uncle." Hagrid said looking at Sirius in confusion.
"I agree with the first part, but not the second part. Lily's sister hates magic. Besides I'm his godfather. But I do need to take him to the Ministry." Sirius said looking down at Harry, who was now asleep.
"Sirius…" Hagrid said looking at him.
"Hagrid. Take my bike. Go to Dumbledore and tell him I'll be at the Ministry." Sirius said as he passed the keys to Hagrid and gestured to the bike parked off to the side. He had been meaning to get it back for a week or so but now it didn't matter.
Ministry Of Magic, London
8:30 pm
"You're early Black," Mad-eye said as he eyed the small bundle in Sirius' arms.
"I just want to get this over with," Sirius said with a sigh as the two of them headed to Bangold's Office.
"Hold it right there Black." a voice called out. Sirius groaned as he turned around and saw Barty Crouch Sr.
"Bugger off Crouch." Sirius snapped before turning around and heading into the Minister's office.
"Black!" Crouch shouted.
"Barty if you wake that little boy in that is sleeping in Black's Arms I will hex you into next week. Now Bugger off." Mad-Eye growled stepping toward Crouch. Satisfied that Crouch wouldn't attack Sirius Mad-Eye followed Sirius into the Office.
"You know something Crouch, I'm curious. How do you know I'm the secret keeper for the Potter's?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow at the man.
"Auror Moody! Arrest this man for the murder of the Potter's and Kidnapping the Potter Boy!" Minister Bangold ordered, nodding to Crouch who looked delighted.
"I must say, Minister. I find it hard to understand how you got elected because you are rather stupid. If I had truly Betrayed James and Lily and kidnapped Harry I would not waltz into The Ministry with the best Auror on my side and walk into the Minister's office. I would simply just leave. However, I didn't do that. If you want you can give me truth serum." Sirius said with a shrug. With a nod, Moody pulled some out of his pocket.
"How do we know that Mad-eye hasn't been confunded by you Black?" Crouch snapped glaring at him.
"I take that as a compliment," Sirius said looking amused.
"Crouch! I oughta make you go through training again for even suggesting I would allow myself to be jumped!" Moody growled at the man.
"Give him the potion Alastor," Bangold said glaring at Barty. Moody nodded and took Harry from Sirius before giving Him the Serum. By this time many people had gathered around and was watching the proceedings curiously.
"What's your name?" Moody asked.
"Sirius Orion Black the 3rd," Sirius Responded in a monotone voice.
"When were you born?"
"November 3rd, 1959"
"Were you the Potter's Secret Keeper?"
"No."
"Who was?"
"Peter Pettigrew."
"Who knew this?"
"James and Lily Potter. Peter Pettigrew. Myself."
"No one else?"
"No one."
"Do you have the Mark?" Crouch asked looking smug.
"No."
"Do you serve He Who Must Not Be Named?" Bangold asked watching Sirius.
"No. Never."
"Give him the antidote," Bangold said nodding.
"But Minister!" Crouch cried.
"Not Buts Barty. Sirius Black, you are cleared of any charges that have been put against you and I shall announce the truth. It may be tomorrow before it gets out." Minister Bangold said as Moody passed Harry back to Sirius.
"Thank you, Minister," Sirius said readjusting Harry in his arms.
"Take care of him, Black." She called as Sirius started out the door.
"Of Course," Sirius said as he turned and made his way down to the auditorium.
Ministry Of Magic Auditorium, London
9 pm
"Sirius?" Albus called as he swept toward Sirius.
"Albus. I've already been cleared and I am taking Harry. You can't stop me." Sirius said tightening his grip on the baby in his arms.
"Sirius. Please. Harry needs to be raised away from magic. Until he is ready." Albus said stepping closer.
"Your plan is to put him with the Dursleys. I will not allow that to happen, Albus. Nor Will Lily, as I have her Will.' Sirius snapped. 'Hello Minerva." he said his eyes softening.
"Is it true Sirius?" Minerva asked looking at the tiny child Sirius was holding.
"Yes," Sirius said, his voice thick with emotion.
"Sirius. He needs to be raised by Petunia." Albus said moving closer.
"Like hell he does.' Sirius snapped glaring at him. 'I'll write to you as much as I can Minerva. But you will not be able to track us through those letters Albus." Sirius said before apparating away.
Longbottom Keep, England
10 pm
"James, Lily. I promise you that I will raise him right. He will know love and he will know laughter. But most of all he will survive this. I swear to you." Sirius whispered as he held Harry against his chest. 'Now what? Harry needs to be checked over. St. Mungo's? Alice! I'll take him to Alice.' Sirius thought with a smile. With a soft pop, Sirius appeared in front a set of gates. Just as he was about to send a Patronus several pops sound behind him.
"Hello, cousin." Bella cackled madly.
"He has the other child," Rodolphus stated staring at the bundle in his arms in shock. Sirius raised an eyebrow and thanked Merlin that James had insisted the order be able to send a Patronus silently. Several seconds later twenty or so order members appeared in front of him.
"No!" Screamed Bella, throwing Crucios about wildly, in her anger. Rabastan grabbed Bella and apparated away followed by the other two.
"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU BRING HIM HERE. YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND YOU ARE NOT FIT TO RAISE HIM!" Molly screamed at Sirius only to be silenced.
"First, if you don't stop shouting you'll wake him. Second, you don't know anything about me. And third, I brought him here so that Alice could give him a check-up. I had no idea that those four would show up. Now if you'll excuse me I need to see Alice." Sirius said before walking through the gates which slammed shut and locked behind him. Frank shooting a glare at Molly as he welcomed Sirius.
"It's good to see you Sirius." Frank said as they walked toward the house.
"Likewise Frank." Sirius said as the stepped into the house.
