Sirius black’s POV
He has told Ookami about everything from Voldemort to Peter’s betrayal. He looked at the Detective but he couldn’t even see a twitch in his body and as his face was already covered with the mask, it was even harder to understand what he was thinking.
“Ok. I believe you.” Ookami said and then he stood up and started to go outside.
He couldn’t understand how Ookami believed in his story, he didn’t used any magic or anything else.
“You just believed me. I could have been lying or making up the story.”
Ookami stopped and again stared at him, “you were not. I would have known if you were lying and then only your body parts would have left this room. Any other questions?”
“How did your people knew I was there in that alley. Because just as Peter fired that spell that nice lady detective came in mid and was able to stop majority of the blast.” He just had to satiate his curiosity.
“Let’s say we have our own methods, Mr. Black. At this time, our first priority is to find Mr. Pettigrew. I have to contact my other detectives. Until then, you will be provided everything that you need here. But you have to stay here. Apparently, Wizarding world thinks that you were the secret keeper and you are wanted there.”
Ookami then stood up and left. He heard something about spiders letting loose on ground.
It was too much for him, he began to remember everything about James & Lily. And Harry ...Oh my god, Only thing that was present in the room was blood everywhere and Harry’s crib with most of it. James & Lily were on the floor, likely dead. His mind broke when he saw that and Anger overcame him. He quickly ran out & tried to find and murder that traitorous rat.
His biggest mistake was that. They had already told everyone that he was the secret keeper and now he has become the Most wanted.
He began to cry and tears start to fall on the floor...

Peter’s PoV
He was scared. He was shaking in fear. He also felt like crying, sitting in one of these underground tunnel of muggles. He was remembering every single day that he lived with the Marauders. He was crying for the loss of one of his closest friend. And Lily, She was such a sweetheart, he couldn’t see her pain. He knew whenever he is going to die, he will have to pay for it.
But there was no other option, he had to betray his friends or he would have lost his own head. There was no way that he would have died for sake of other people. No, not even in thousand of years.
But now, Dark lord is dead and so goes his only protection. Sirius would have killed him, so he decided to blast the gas pipeline and get out in the ruckus. As he jumped into the sewer, he felt as if something was wrong. He decided to go up in his rat form and he found that the street was damaged, but not much. It appeared as if somebody stopped the blast in mid of it. There were few bodies, maybe 2 or 3 which were burned beyond recognition. Then his eyes zeroed on two people standing in mid of the site. One of them was a woman who was glowing as if her body was on fire. Other person was a male who was wearing a jacket with a roaring wolf stamped on its back.
He looked further and saw an injured but alive Sirius who was being put into a car with same wolf symbol on its sides.
There goes his idea of getting some time to go underground. If Sirius is alive then he will definitely tell everyone about him.
Suddenly the Man turned towards him, and he felt as if the Man knew that he was there. He quickly ducked into the sewers and ran away. With no sense of direction or purpose, he was just running and now at the end he was here, feets below the Earth, thinking of what to do next.
He then shook his head, removing his tears off the face. There was no purpose of crying, he have to move and find a place where he can live without problem. There was no way that a magical house would be safe for him. Sirius will defini tell the people about his animagus form. He has to find a muggle house & that also very quickly.
He didn’t noticed a red blinking light just above him…

Petunia’s POV
She is finally here. She looked down at the crib and the sleeping ba…Harry inside it. She kept him with her whole night, trying to remember her sister that she never got along with but loved nonetheless.
But she couldn’t keep this child with her. Their family was not well-off and she won’t be able to look at his face and resent him for becoming a cause for Lily’s death. She do not want to become a Monster.
That’s why she was here, as this was the biggest and most well known Orphanage in the entire Britain. She knew that they will be able to take care of him in a good way. Maybe they will find someone to adopt him.
She quickly paced toward the Orphanage and reached the gate. A man was standing there who took a deep breath after looking at her.
“Are you here to leave the kid here, Mam?”He asked rather softly compared to his stature.
“Ah,yes…”Petunia looked at him trying to understand what he was doing outside.
“Don’t worry Mam, come inside, just give us info about the child like his name, age, allergies etc and you can be on your way.” He motioned her to move in .
She gave whatever info she had on Harry from the brief letters she used to get & then looked at Harry who was still inside the crib, now awake and looking at her.
”Take Care of him.” Petunia said.
”He will be most likely adopted soon enough.” The man, Brad his name was, replied.
”That’s good.”
Then she looked into the green eyes of Harry and kissed his forehead and then left.
As she was driving back home, she was having a good feeling that Harry will be in good hands.
