Harry Potter One Shots

Marauders ~ When His World Fell Apart

Has there ever been a time where everything collapses around you? Your perfect little world destroyed? Well, what was left of it. You can't? Well, picture this. You are at home, relaxing, when you feel a disturbance. Something just feels off. So, you set off for someplace and arrive at the scene of a murder. Well, that's what happened to Sirius black. His black hair crazily tossed about. His eyes were mournful and sad.

Sirius looked upon the rubble in defeat. Peter had betrayed them, and they would all blame him. Only he, Lily and James knew that Peter was the secret keeper. A faint sound of crying boomed from the house. Sirius got up and ran inside. He ran to the source, already seeing a man there. The big man.

"He survived? Thank Merlin. I didn't lose everyone." Sirius said shakily.

"Sirius? Why you 'ere? Hagrid asked in his deep booming voice.

"Something felt wrong and my first instinct was my friends. Hagrid, please let me take my godson. He's all I have left." Sirius pleaded. Sirius wasn't a man to cry, but, everything that happened, he was about to burst.

"I'm 'fraid I can't help you. Dumbledore's orders." Hagrid told Sirius.

"Take my motorcycle, it will get you there faster. Just, keep him safe. Please, I beg you. For James and Lily." Sirius whimpered.

"I will protect 'im with my life Sirius." Hagrid said. When Hagrid left, Sirius burst. He sunk to the ground next to his friends body and cried. After everything he and his two friends had been through, he couldn't handle the loss. He could handle the loss of almost anyone in his family. He could handle running away. He could handle almost anything. But, no one is perfect. No one is invincible.

The next day, Sirius was taken to Azkaban. He knew he would lose his trial. Everyone thought he was the secret keeper. He wasn't going to admit he, James, and Peter were unregistered anumaigus. He was doomed to life in Azkaban. The first night there, he cried. No one heard him. Who would care though? He was a murder, or so everyone believed. But, he was innocent. That was all he had.

Now, we ask again, have you ever saw your world crumble? Price by piece? If you did, the wizarding world wishes you luck and hopes you survive this.
