So, I write on fanficiton as well, but over time I have found that I might need to move sites, so I did. =) I will slowly upload all 46 and onward chapters of this onto wattpad. And for all the new readers, enjoy!
Chapter 1
Rescued
Sirius approached the ruins of the wrecked house of his best mate and was consumed with sorrow. Quickly followed by the rage of betrayal. How could they have not noticed that Peter was the traitor? Why had they suspected Remus? Different ideas on how to get revenge on the rat that killed his best friend, his lovely wife Lily, and his goddaughter, circled in his mind. He was about to leave and chase after Peter, but he heard a very familiar cry.
Sirius Black literally dove into the rubble to find the source of the noise, hoping with all his heart he wasn't imagining things. He moved rubble out of the way and finally found a little, squirming, pink bundle that was alive and breathing. The first thing he did was check her for injuries, he didn't find any except a lighting bold shaped scar on her forehead.
"Padfoo!" the child gurgled happily. The poor thing had been alone for hours and finally there was a face she recognized. Suddenly, there was a crack and Sirius turned around to see Hagrid standing there.
"Sirius! Oh, I hoped it wasn't true. Lily 'nd James...give little Harriet to me. Dumbledore wants me to take 'er to 'er Aunt 'nd Uncle's," Hagrid bellowed making the little bundle in Sirius' arms whimper.
Sirius was just about to hand her over when he heard a little voice in his head, that sounded a lot like James shout, 'if something happens to me and Lily and you leave my daughter alone, so help me Padfoot, I will haunt you for the rest of your life.'
He looked down at his goddaughter again and couldn't bring himself to give her up. She looked too much like her parents. He couldn't let them down again and he definitely wasn't letting her live with her Aunt and Uncle. Petunia was a nightmare on a good day and her whale of a husband was worse. "Hagrid, I'm going to Dumbledore myself, if Harriet lives with her Aunt and Uncle she'll be abused to no end," Sirius replied as he got on his bike and rode off to Hogwarts, where he knew he'd find Albus Dumbledore.
Harriet dozed off and fell asleep as they approached the castle and Sirius smiled at the sight. He was going to raise her with Mooney and teach her all there was to know about being a Marauder.
About fifteen minutes later he walked into Dumbledore's office. The elderly headmaster was there and when he saw Sirius he gave the young man a sad smile. "I thought you would be chasing after Peter Pettigrew. Why didn't you give Ms. Potter to Hagrid? She would be safest with her only remaining family..." Dumbledore asked trying to make sense of Sirius' actions.
"You think she would be safe with her Aunt and Uncle? They'll abuse her...after all the stories I've heard from Lily, I can't leave my goddaughter with them. I'm the closest thing to family she has, not her racist sister," Sirius nearly shouted, but stopped himself when Harriet moved in his arms.
From all the times he watched her he knew that Harriet was going to want to be fed soon. He had some of her bottles and baby food back at his flat, but he was a little bit too far away for that at the moment.
Suddenly, Remus came bursting into the room with his wand raised. "Sirius, how could you! Dumbledore, call the ministry! He killed Lily and James!" Remus shouted and Harriet began to cry,
"Remus, she was so quiet...I wasn't the secret keeper, Peter was. I thought it was the perfect reuse, but he was the traitor, so I guess I technically did get them killed," Sirius whispered hoarsely as he rocked his goddaughter to calm her down.
