What Could Have Been: If Black Put Harry First
By: Wookie13
Chapter 1
Warning ahead of time this story will have extreme sexual situations. It is also AU but will still follow parts of Cannon. This is my version of how Sirius should have reacted when Peter betrayed them all.
Back to the day Voldemort attacked the Potters after the Pettigrew left the Potter’s house with Voldemort’s wand:
“Lilly! James!” shouted Sirius. He had just apparated to their cottage in Godric’s Hollow and knowing he was outside of the fidelus charm but having been told the secret by the secret keeper Peter he knew he could and should be able to see the cottage. What he wasn’t expecting to see was the door blown off its hinges as a feeling of dread filled his stomach. Without a second thought Sirius sent off his patronus with a message for Remus and then he ran into the house looking for James, Lilly and Harry. As the smoke rising from the upper floor of the house scared Sirius as he was sure it was coming from the nursery.
As Sirius entered the house he wand ready to send out silent curses at anything that moved. Dreading what he might see Sirius came upon the body of his friend and fellow marauder. James was blankly staring up at the ceiling his brown eyes causing Sirius to blink back tears knowing he would never see the sparkle that was there whenever James would look at Lilly or Harry, the glint in them when a prank was about to go off that couldn’t be traced back to him. Sirius paused for a second looking down at James’ right had looking for the Potter family ring indicating that he was the Lord Potter. Sirius carefully removed the ring and took James’ want from his hand and slid the ring onto the wand and then spun the wand into the air where it vanished. Sirius closed James’ eyes and then proceeded up the stairs toward the nursery, knowing that would be where Lilly would go to get Harry and leave through the slide that was hidden in the nursery and lead to the safe room that could only be accessed by being keyed into the room by a blood ward. Anyone else was transported immediately into a holding cell that was over a lava pit. If the prisoner tried to break out they would be dumped into the lava.
What Sirius found was the nursery door frame completely destroyed knowing that Lilly would have sealed the door behind her to give her and Harry the needed seconds to enter the escape slide. It was here that Sirius found Lilly’s body also blankly staring up at the ceiling her wand pointing toward the door as if she only had time to seal the door and couldn’t make it to the escape slide. Those beautiful green eyes were open and seeing her laying there broke Sirius’s heart. As James always knew that all of the Marauders were in love with his wife, Lilly had always been able to keep them in line with one look by her green eyes. Sirius howled in anger and was about to apparated out to track down Peter when he heard a single word. “Padfooote? Wake mummy?” Harry asked.
Those few words that brought Sirius back from running off in revenge as his training though he hated it from his father and grandfather kicked in. Sirius had been taught that a pure blood when they accept the role of Godparent despite all other desires was to take up that role immediately upon the death of the parents to make sure, even to the possible detriment of his own line to secure the family line of his friend. Once that was accomplished then revenge could take place. And every Black knew that revenge while anger ran red hot could sooth the soul, it was much better when it could be done at their own pace drawing out the pain over years at a time once the betrayer was in their possession.
“Here I am Harry,” said Sirius, “Mummy is asleep right now, let’s go play someplace else, okay?” Harry nodded is little head as his big green eyes stared up at padfoote.
“Ouye padfoote, ouye,” Harry said as he pointed to his head where a lightning bolt shaped scare was red and raw looking. Not knowing what happened to cause this Sirius looked around and found a black robes on the ground that were empty like the body inside of them just vanished. It was all that Sirius could do to not throw-up at the sight of those robes as he had seen them before on Voldemort’s body when he was very much alive. Knowing that Harry needed to be looked after but, no-one should know about what happened Sirius was left with only one option. An option that he had been reluctant to take up as he was much happier without the responsibilities that it would require of him, but he knew that to protect Harry the way that he as a Black should he would have to head to Gringotts and he would have to do that immediately.
Harry had fallen asleep during the apparation to Diagon Alley. Shaking his head at the comfort that Harry had with magic that he could fall asleep when most kids are about to panic once the apparition was over with they would burst into tears or hysterics. Sirius had skipped the normal apparition point and went to a special point right outside of Gringotts. It was a special place only known to the founding lords of Great Britain’s magical empire. It was a place that Sirius had been several times as a child with his father when the Lords of Britain often came after normal hours to meet together to decide the fate of magical Britain. It was a place that Sirius had always thought was contemptuous for them to have a special place, but was now ever grateful that his knowledge of this place would grate him and Harry a few minutes to a couple of hours of relief as Sirius procured this rightful place in the Blacks and secured Harry’s inheritance.
Sirius stepped toward the door and pulled on the rope that rang a bell deep in the depths of the bank. It was only a minute before goblin slides back a panel in the door and said “What do you want human? This door is only for the Lords of Britain and we don’t know you as a Lord.”
“I have come to claim that which is mine and I am here to protect the rights of the Scion of the Potter line.” Stated Sirius.
“Stand still human we will see if there is truth is your claim,” the goblin stated as it raised his hand and pointed a finger at Sirius and brought it down vertically. Sirius felt a wash of magic over him and Harry awoke to the feeling of magic that he wasn’t familiar with. Harry popped his head up from inside of Sirius’s robes and held out his hands toward the goblin causing the goblin to float up in the air much to the goblin’s surprise. “I told you to stand still human!” Hissed the goblin as he signaled for help and the guards to kick this upstart out of the lord’s entrance and get him released from the magic holding him up in the air.
“Harry stop that!” Sirius scolded the 15 month old child. “You have to be nice to the goblins or we’ll be in trouble. Put the nice goblin down right now young man.” Harry looked at his Padfoote with sad eyes but for once he saw that Padfoote was being serious. So with a concentrated look on his face Harry once more reached out and lowered his hand bringing the goblin to the floor. When Sirius looked back to the goblin once again he saw 7 more had joined the first and they were all staring at Sirius with their mouths open. It was a scary sight to see all of those goblin teeth, but amusing at the same time as you rarely ever saw a surprised goblin. One of the larger and better dressed goblins addressed Sirius. “Please come inside heir black. I believe that we have much to discuss.”
