Chapter One

That Terrible Night…

October 31st, 1981

A tall, well-built, darkly handsome man, with nice long lustrous black hair and a nice trimmed beard, named Sirius Black was in his den in his newly renovated Manor. He had sealed his former home and moved to Ottery St. Catchpole because of its beautiful view and is secluded. He was wondering why Prongs, James his best friend, hasn't fire-called him yet. They always called each other to make sure that everything is alright. Daniella, his wife of two years, came to him and sat down near him after she had put their newborn, Megan, to sleep. Daniella is tall but not as tall as Sirius, but has a well-built body that drives Sirius crazy, along with brown wavy hair and sexy chocolate, brown eyes.

"Hmm… I wonder why Prongs hasn't talked to me yet; he was supposed to call me an hour ago." Sirius said.

"Maybe he is busy, taking care of Lily and Harry." Daniella suggested.

"Maybe but he always has time to talk to me. I always keep him updated with everything that happens outside of his "Prison" as we call it due to stupid Dumbledork!" exclaimed Sirius.

"True. That is true, honey."

Sirius chuckled and kissed her cheek before getting up and grabbed his cloak. Daniella got up and watched him put his cloak on.

"I'm going to check over there so I'll be right back, Dani."

"Be careful honey and you better get your sexy arse back here in one piece."

"I'll always be Siriusly careful, sweetheart."

Daniella groaned and said "That was only funny thousand times ago!"

"Love you, Dani!" chuckled Sirius.

"Love you too, Sexy Dog."

Sirius turned and walked toward to the front door and after closing it he apparated to Gordic's Hollow where Idiot Dumbledore is hiding them.

'Luckily nobody saw me appear out of thin air.' thought Sirius.

He turned and walked toward the Potter's safe house, past the church, and a post office. He stopped and saw the house in shambles. He pulled his wand out and ran toward the front door and opened it. He was in shock and full of guilt, for his best friend and fellow Auror, James Potter laid dead in the entry way.

"James…" croaked Sirius as he knelt by his friend, "Oh Merlin…"

"Wahh!" He heard crying from upstairs.

Sirius turned and looked upstairs and realized his godson was up there still alive, probably in his room.

"Harry!"

He got up and ran upstairs and went into Harry's room. Once there he experienced more shock and guilt as he saw Lily dead next to Harry's crib. He also saw Harry sitting in his crib with a strange lighting scar on his forehead. He looked back toward his best friend's wife.

"Oh no, not Lily…"

"Wahh! Wahh!" cried Harry.

"Harry! Shh… I'm here, it's alright, and Uncle Sirius is here…"

Crack!

'Shite! Someone is here.' He thought.

"Hello, master?" said a familiar voice.

'Peter? Wormtail? Master?' thought Sirius 'Wait, he betrayed them to Voldemort! I should have known that he was only a rat all this time!"

Creak, creak!

'I need to catch him and take him to the Ministry of Magic!'

The door creaked open and a short man with grubby skin, small watery eyes, and a pointed nose came into the room and didn't notice that Sirius was pointing his wand toward him as he held Harry.

"Stupefy!" cried Sirius.

A red light hit Peter in the chest and before he knew it, he hit floor with a loud thud. Sirius also magically put cuffs on him and put a full-body bind curse on him.

"Serves you right for stupidly walking in here! You betrayed our friends!" exclaimed Sirius.

'I need to take Harry home. Before I lose my temper and shoot him with more curses or worse, kill him before I can clear my name.'

He walked downstairs and apparated to Black Manor. He opened the door and saw Daniella walking down the stairs as the wards that surrounded the Manor warned her that he was home.

"Hey Sir… What happen?" She saw Sirius's sad expression and holding a sleeping Harry. "No… They can't…"

"I'm sorry but they are and Harry is the only one alive and he has this strange lighting shaped curse scar on his forehead. I need you to take him to our other nursery because I just arrested Wormtail for betraying us."

"Wormtail did this? Where is..." cried Daniella, as she took the baby from Sirius, cuddling him.

"Back at Gordic's Hollow, I just stunned him and cuffed him and put him in full-body bind curse." Sirius sadly said "I just can't believe he betrayed them to Voldemort. I told them to…"

"Sirius! Don't you dare say it was your fault! You didn't know this was going to happen!"

"But it should be!"

"No, it wasn't! If it was your fault then it should be mine too!"

"No! It wasn't!"

"Then it wasn't your fault then!" said Daniella firmly "It was Wormtail's choice, his and his alone!"

Daniella turned and walked back upstairs, holding baby Harry, and took him to the guest nursery. Sirius looked at her as she walked away.

'She is fiery and that is one of the reasons why I married her.' thought Sirius sadly. 'Now I have to return to this nightmare…'

Sirius closed his eyes and walked outside past his wards.

Crack!

Sirius opened his eyes and walked toward to the ruins of the Potters' house and saw Albus Dumbledore talking to a strange guy who has his hood covering his face. Sirius went hiding in the bushes before the guys could see him.

"Is Peter well and alive? I can't have him dead right now. He proves too useful to the Greater Good plan I have right now." said Dumbledore.

"He is alive and well, Dumbledore and I planted some evidence that proves Sirius is behind all of this instead of Peter. I sent Peter into hiding until the time is right." said the hooded man.

'That bastard knew Peter was aiding Voldemort!' thought Sirius. 'That son of a bastard! He set me up for everything!'

"Very good. Now, where is Harry?"

"I'm sorry but he is not in there. I looked everywhere."

"What? You tell me he is not in there?"

"That's what I'm saying, Lord."

'Lord?' thought Sirius 'What the hell is going on?'

Dumbledore sighed deeply and rubbed his crooked nose. His plan wasn't going well at the moment. He was supposed to have Harry right now and request Hagrid to carry him to the Dursleys so that he can train him to be the martyr so that Dumbledore will be the hero again.

"Leave now before I change my mind about killing you."

The Hooded Man nodded and apparated out before Sirius could see his face.

"Damn! Sirius must have taken him before we did! That is not part of my plan! I must return to the Wizengmot and seal the Potter's will so that the money goes to me now and get control over Harry. His aunt and uncle can control his self-esteem and train him to sacrifice his life." whispered Dumbledore as he apparated away to his office to gather the stuff he needed to get everything ready to seal the will of the Potters.

"Not if I can't help it! I will not let you ruin his life!" cried Sirius, as he got out of the bush where he listening to the convention. He cleaned his cloak and apparated to the Manor. He opened his door and ran upstairs and into the hallway toward Harry's room and saw Dani rocking the baby and Harry was asleep. Dani looked at the baby before Sirius opened the door the rest of the way and she got up and saw Sirius standing and looking at her with worried expression.

"Dani, I need you to apparate to the Ministry of Magic now."

"Why?"

"I just listened to Dumbledore's convention between him and a strange hooded man. I have no idea who he is but that is not the point. Dumbledore will seal the Will of the Potters soon."

"What? Not if I can stop it. We are Harry's legal guardians after all! Here, hold the baby!" cried Dani as she took Sirius's cloak and went toward the door and apparated to her office.

"I love that woman. She will always protect us. Now you will live with us no matter what… Harry, the Boy Who Lived." said Sirius as he looked at his sleeping godson in his arms.
