Sirius kissed Amaya goodbye as he headed to the potters for Halloween. Amaya said she didn't want to go for some reason.

Sirius got to the Potter's house and instantly knew something was wrong. The front gate was off its hinges and the front door was blasted off. Sirius ran inside. He stopped when he got halfway up the stairs. His breathing got heavy and he dropped to his knees. Sirius stared into his best friend's cold dead eyes. Tears ran down his face. He heard a baby's cry. He stepped over James' body and went up the rest of the stairs. He saw Lily's body on the floor and had to look away or he would cry more.

"Hey Harry." Sirius grabbed Harry out of his crib and held him in his arms. He rocked him to sleep.

"Sirius? What ar ya doin here?" Sirius turned around to see Hagrid.

"What are you doing here?" Sirius asked him.

"Came to fetch Harry. Dumbledore's orders."

"No. I'm keeping him with me. I'm his godfather, I'm going to take care of him."

"I can't let ye take im. Dumbledore wants me to bring him to him."

Sirius knew he wasn't going to win. He handed Harry over but warned, "I'm going to take him. He can go to Dumbledore but I will be getting him back. Take my bike."

Sirius watched as Hagrid flew away with Harry. "I'm going to kill you Peter." Sirius mumbled and began searching for him.

Sirius walked toward Peter with his wand out. "You'll pay for what you did!"

"P-please, Sirius w-we can talk about this. We're friends."

"I'm not friends with a rat! We trusted you!"

Peter mumbled something and an explosion went off. People began screaming and suddenly Sirius was surrounded by wizards.

***

Sirius sat in a room waiting for some sort of explanation. After a while Dumbledore, Remus, and three other wizards walked in.

"Remus! It was Peter! He was the traitor."

"Mr. Black, if you could remain silent that would be great. Now, you are being sent to Azkaban-"

"Azkaban!?" Sirius cut him off.

"For the murder of thirteen muggles and one wizard. Also for working with Voldemort."

"Wait, you think it was me! I didn't do it. It was Peter! We have to catch him!"

"Peter is dead!" Remus shouted, making Sirius go quiet for a second. "I guess I was right. You're just like your family."

"I'm not like my family!" Sirius shouted and no one believed him.

Two men grabbed each of Sirius' arms and began dragging him out of the room.

"C'mon Remus, you have to help me!"

"I hate you." Remus said and left.

***

Amaya stared at the pregnancy test. Two blue lines. Positive. She was pregnant. She couldn't wait to tell Sirius. She heard a knock on the door and went to answer it, assuming it was trick or treaters.

She opened the door to find Remus looking like he had been crying.

"Remus?" He walked in and collapsed on the couch.

"I'm so sorry."

"What? What happened?"

"Amaya, Lily and James they..." he trailed off.

"Are they okay?"

"They're dead. So is Peter."

"What?" Amaya sat down with tears running down her face. "Harry?"

"He's fine. Safe."

"Where's Sirius?"

"It was him. He's the traitor. He killed Peter and told Voldemort where the house was. He's in Azkaban."

"Don't lie to me. Sirius would never."

"He was the secret keeper. Amaya you have to accept it."

"I don't care! He didn't do it. He would never. James was like a brother to him."

"Amaya-"

"Leave. I don't want you here if you're just going to argue with me."

Remus left and Amaya broke down crying. She cried all night. The next day Sirius' story was all over the daily prophet.

***

Amaya went to meet Dumbledore. He sat down in a chair across from her.

"What would you like to talk about?"

"I want Harry. He's legally supposed to go to me."

"I'm sorry but I think it best if he remains with the Dursleys."

"I don't care what you think! You also think Sirius is guilty!"

"Mrs. Black, please calm down. Harry is safe there."

"He'll be safe with me."

"Harry needs to be able to call it home because when Lily sacrificed her life to save him she created a blood bond. Voldemort cannot touch him as long as he calls it home."

"Fine, but if anything bad happens to him I will kill you."
