Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Sirius Black arrived shortly after the incredible magical blast occurred. He had suddenly remembered that the cottage was here, signalling that the Fidelius charm was broken.
I'll kill you Wormtail, he thought to himself as he looked for the bodies of his best friends and God-children. He found James, his wand a few feet away with a smile on his face. If Sirius thought it strange that his best friend, no brother, died with a smile then he may have decided to keep looking for the others. He was however consumed by his grief at that moment and fell to the ground. He heard the pop of an apparition and looked around.
"Who's there? Is it you Wormtail? You fucking traitor he was our brother!"
He heard no other sounds, it might have been Wormtail apparating away. He was ready to do the same himself and find the Rat and kill him when he heard Harry crying. He frantically looked around and followed his godson's cries. He moved some of the rubble in the house around and saw a magic shield protecting Harry, Lily and the twins. The girls were all unconscious with Harry tugging his mother's blouse in an attempt to wake her up.
"Harry!" Sirius shouted. Harry turned and saw his godfather.
"Pafoo'! Pafoo'! Mama!" he seemed to be trying to say that something was wrong with his mother. Sirius picked him up and cast a spell to confirm that the others were alive.
"Renervate," he said pointing his wand at Lily once he was sure and the redhead gasped and opened her eyes.
"What? Harry, Ella, Emma!" She shouted. The twins woke up frightened as they realized their house was destroyed and hugged their mother. She embraced them and began to cry.
Harry started giggling, Happy that his mother and sisters were now awake. She looked up and though the words were unspoken Sirius knew she needed Harry. He placed him in her Arms as the twins clutched their mother and brother.
"Sirius… James he's…"
"I know, I'm going to kill him Lily. I'm going to kill the fucking bastard "
"Stop!" She yelled, as Sirius was once again about to apparate. "You can't go now! Everyone thinks you were the secret keeper. You need to contact Bella, Sirius, she can send an order to the Aurors to find him."
"I'm an Auror too, I don't need my cousin to give me permission to do my job."
"Please Sirius, the kids need you. I can't do this on my own. You promised when we made you godfather you would put the kids above everything if something happened."
Sirius stopped and looked down at the Potter children. "Uncle Padfoot please stay," said Ella. She and Emma both ran over and each grabbed one of his legs. Tears fell from the eyes of the Animagus. "I promise girls, I'll never leave you," he said as he crouched down and hugged them.
Just then they heard loud and heavy footsteps approaching them. "Sirius? Lily!?" Exclaimed the Half Giant Hagrid.
"Hagrid? What are you doing here?" asked Sirius.
"Professor Dumbledore sent me to get Harry, he said his sensors showed he was still alive after that explosion. He didn't say anything about you all!"
"He was only tracking Harry's magic. No offense Hagrid but why did he send you instead of coming himself."
"He was going to but then something happened with Trelawney the new divination professor."
Lily froze, is there another prophecy?
"I think you all should come with me to Hogwarts. Madam Pomfry is ready waiting to check on Harry, she'll be able to check on all of you."
Lily nodded, still holding back the breakdown that was threatening to come to the surface. "Sirius, I'm sorry to ask but…"
"I'll take care of James and meet you at Hogwarts."
"Sirius please don't go after him," she said with the tears threatening to come down.
"I won't, I promise."
Hagrid brought out a special Portkey from Dumbledore that would bring them all to the infirmary.
"Hagrid, I Have to hold Harry, can you take the girls please?"
Hagrid nodded and soon they were gone. Sirius turned and slowly walked back over to James. He cleared the debris around him and sent off a patronus message to his cousin. He transformed into Padfoot and sat in front of James for some time. It was easier not to break down in this form. He didn't want to feel any of the human emotions that were circling through his heart at the moment.
He walked around the remains of the cottage to see if there was anything salvageable. That was when he felt a strange pull of magic. He transformed into his human form and followed the pull. It led him to the ancient book James had found in the family vault before going into hiding. He knew it was the Potter family grimoire and while he could touch it and move it as a friend of the Potter family, he could not open it. He thought about the smile that was on James face and realized that whatever saved the remaining potters was in that book. He would need to get it back to Lily, she would be able to figure out what happened.
Around the same time at Hogwarts
Madam Pomfry was checking over the Potter children but was unable to get Lily into a bed to get checked over as well. Lily after making sure that the kids were in beds and tucked away ran off to Dumbledore's office. She needed to know if stupid bint Trelawney made another prophecy. When she got to the Gargoyles that guard the entrance to the Headmasters office she realized she didn't know the password.
"MOVE!" she screamed at the statues. "Password," replied the Gargoyle.
She looked for her wand and realized it was still at the cottage. "Please I need to speak to Dumbledore!"
"Lily?" Squeaked a voice from behind her. She turned to see Professor Flitwick walking towards her. "Master Flitwick please I need to see Albus!"
"I… ok very well, he turned to the Gargoyle and said "Sherbet Lemon!"
As soon as the Gargoyle moved aside she ran up to the office and found Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. She looked at her old best friend confused as to what he was doing here.
"Severus if you wouldn't mind, I believe I need to speak with Mrs. Potter alone."
Severus twitched knowing full well why he referred to her as Mrs. Potter instead of Lily. As much as he hated the old man he still swore an oath to him, she was alive that meant he owed Dumbledore.
Severus got up and walked out of the office, his robes billowing as he exited. Dumbledore locked the door and cast a spell on all of the portraits on his wall causing them to freeze.
"I need to know what she said, Albus," Lily said, trying to keep her emotions down. Albus Dumbledore sighed and sat down.
"It is as you undoubtedly fear, there is another prophecy which… complicates things a great deal."
"Tell me."
Albus Dumbledore and Lily Potter spent the remainder of the night talking and planning.
