Warning: Heavy Angst. Dark!Harry! Possible Slash.

A/N: I just love those Innocent Harry gets tossed into Azkaban fics! Then he gets all powerful, kills Voldemort and forgives everyone. Well, that's not going to happen in my fic. I mean, how possible is it to spend time in that gods forsaken prison in the pleasant company of dementors and not lose some sanity? And I think that a Dark!Harry is just soooooo sexy!

Harry is twelve years old, and it's an alternate ending to Book Two: Chamber of Secrets. What if Harry did not manage to save Ginny in the chamber?

Chapter 1: Enough is Enough

Harry's POV

I can't believe it! Ginny's dead? And they are accusing me of killing her? I would never do that! I was trying to save her from Tom Riddle! Professor Dumbledore! Where is the headmaster? He will know! He will believe me!

WHAT? Professor Dumbledore has been removed from Hogwarts? It's impossible! Ron! Hermonie! Please! You must believe me! I'm innocent!

End of Harry's POV

"You bastard! How could you! Ginny had a crush on you! I should never have believed you! You are a parseltongue, the Heir of Slytherin!" Ron spat viciously. He was held back by Dean and Seamus from killing Harry right there and then.

Hermonie was surprising silent. She didn't want to accuse Harry but all facts point to him being a murderer. Her logical mind could not refute the points condemning Harry to a life sentence in Azkaban. Ginny's body lying in the Chamber of Secrets, with no one else but Harry. Harry acting all secretive since he found himself to be a parseltongue. Ron swore that he saw Harry killed his sister with his own eyes. The last spell that Harry's wand cast was the killing curse. She shook her head with sadness. How did Harry became dark?

The trial held personally by the Minister himself was short. Funnily enough, the truth serum was not used. All evidence was so clear-cut that the jury sees no need to use the serum. Angry and disappointed faces greeted Harry, as he was led away to his lifetime prison after the sentence was cast. He was in a daze, so much so that he failed to see an unexpected person mouthing to him "Potter, we'll get you out." A certain death-eater turned spy who understood that things are always not what they seemed to be.

When Harry became aware of his surroundings once more, he found himself in a cold, gray cell. In fact, it was getting colder with every passing second. Dementors drifted to welcome their newest addition. And Harry's nightmares began.

"Lily, take Harry and run!"

"James! NO!"

"Please, not Harry!"

A flash of bright green light

"Freak! How dare you burn our bacon! You ungrateful wretched boy! We feed you, clothe you and provide you with shelter, is this how you repay us?"

"Uncle, please, I didn't mean to! Please stop! It hurts! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh"

A red haze caused by relentless punches and kicks

"Look at that boy! Is he a beggar? Why is he wearing rags? And look at that ugly scar! He smells awful too!"

"Hey, stop running, don't you want to play? Our favorite game – Harry Hunting. The first to catch him can do whatever they want to him!"

Countless screams, helpless pleading and sobs later, Harry lay in a crumpled heap on the freezing stone floor. The dementors had their fun and left to torture some other wretched prisoner. A scratchy voice from the next cell called out feebly, "Harry? Is that really you?"

"Yes…..who are you?" A spark of interest lit up the otherwise dull green eyes.

"I'm Sirius Black, a friend of your parents. Your godfather."

The silence that followed was so thick you could cut it with a knife. A bitter laugh broke it. "Is that a joke? I have no godfather!"

"Harry, please, let me explain. It's a long story but hey, we've got all the time in the world."

And so Sirius Black told Harry about the Fildeus charm, the switch in secret-keeper and the betrayal of one rat, Peter Pettigrew.  

A/N: Next Chapter: Sirius and Harry breaks out of Azkaban with the help of Snape! Will the trio escapes the wrath of the Wizardry world, and Voldemort?
