Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

Sirius black never got visitors, but then again nobody had the guts to visit him, especially when he was locked in a place such as azkaban.

 

So it was needless to say a surprise when he was inform somebody had came to visit him.

 

A million thoughts had run through his brain, in his seven years of imprisonment nobody had ever even bothered to try and contact him, nobody showed that they cared or thought of him.

 

It was both alarming and exciting at the same time, but then again he was going mad, or at least that's what he's starting to believe.

 

Maybe this visit when just a figment of his imagination, a desperate cry for help before his sanity is completely gone.

 

But it felt real, the sound of his shoes hitting the hard concrete felt real, the cold air hitting his face felt real, and the cuffs clicking together as he moved felt real.

 

Sirius black had so little hope and so much anger inside of him, seven darn years alone, seven years where his soul shifted whenever he looked outside the fucking window.

 

And now, now he has a visitor.

 

"20 minutes only" the cold whipper made him shiver slightly. He watched the visiting room door open slowly, making a horrendous dragging sound from how heavy it was.

 

Sirius didn't know who to expect, a part of him hoped it to be albus so can he rip into him and get some steam off but his thoughts all simmered down when he saw a familiar pair of light hazel eyes.

 

"Hello Sirius" Sirius didn't respond but stared dumbly at the woman sitting across from him.

 

Has he gone mad? Imagining people from the past coming to see him after years of losing connection.

 

"Dandy...it's you" the woman smiled softly at him and gestured with her hand for him to take a seat.

 

Sirius wanted somebody to pinch him just to make sure he wasn't dreaming, but it felt real. The chair felt stiff and uncomfortable when he sat, his hands felt the cold table. The scent of her perfume was more than present.

 

"I...I really-" he tried to reach for her hand but she pull it away "o-oh right. What brings you to this awful place?" He wanted to ask more, about everything. Why and how or when but he needed the important questions answered first.

 

She dropped her smile then sighed, her hand went inside her sweater pulling out an open letter.

 

Sirius swallowed, he recognized the hand writing.

 

"How did you get that?"

 

"I can't tell you the details but I'm here to inform you about a few changes that we didn't know about"

 

The letter was placed in the middle of the table, the black in looked old and almost faded but there words were clear enough for the average reader.

 

"First thing first, you remember my promise to lily?" Black nodded "well I'm going to follow with that promise but I'm not doing it alone, so I'm here to tell you that I'm asking him for help" Sirius stood up immediately with a frown on his face.

 

"Absolutely not! You must be insane to think I would trust someone like him to-"

 

"I'm not asking you I'm telling you Sirius!" He almost flinched at the foreign harsh tone she threw at him. He just couldn't believe she would think of something so ridiculous.

 

"James wouldn't have wanted this"

 

"No Sirius you don't want this. Lily left a clear message to me, and I know exactly what I'm doing and I'm here just to give you a heads up because he's after all your godson before he was mine." She snapped back.

 

Sirius opened his mouth to argue back, ready to lash out again but then the cold whisper stopped him. He had two minutes left.

He closed his fists tightly, anger seeping through his veins.

 

"Just make sure he's safe." Those were his last words before being dragged out the room.

 

Sirius spent his many hours reminiscing about the old days and fresh, though tonight those hazel eyes will be the center of his thoughts once again for way too long.
