0:00
what if one moment could change
0:01
everything one second one breath one
0:05
misstep paltering the course of destiny
0:08
in our world Sirius Black the last true
0:11
family Harry Potter had fell through the
0:13
veil of death during the battle at the
0:14
Ministry but in this alternate timeline
0:17
he lives and everything that follows
0:20
takes a different path the Department of
0:23
Mysteries hummed with chaos spells flew
0:26
like sparks from a bonfire in that
0:29
pivotal moment Bellatrix Lrange raised
0:31
her wand and shouted "Avadic Kadavra!"
0:33
But Harry just a few feet away screamed
0:39
That shout distracted her just enough
0:41
her aim shifted green curse missed its
0:44
fatal mark and instead clipped Sirius's
0:46
shoulder sending him crashing to the
0:48
floor but not into the veil not into
0:51
death harry lunged grabbing his
0:54
godfather's hand before he could even
0:56
process what happened and in that
0:59
briefest moment of clarity Sirius smiled
1:02
he was alive the order arrived chaos was
1:05
subdued and Voldemort traveled
1:08
desperated before the eyes of the world
1:10
fudge had seen the world would soon know
1:13
he's back back at number 12 grim old
1:16
place sirius recovered slowly the wound
1:19
on his shoulder was deep but he was more
1:22
alive than he'd been in years something
1:24
had changed the darkness in his eyes
1:26
started to fade for the first time since
1:29
Aszgaban he allowed himself to hope he
1:32
no longer paced like a prisoner he
1:35
engaged cleaned repaired taught Harry
1:39
spells the textbooks never mentioned he
1:41
even started coaxing creature toward
1:43
cooperations subtly patiently and
1:46
surprisingly kindly the house once a
1:49
tomb began to feel like a home
1:52
dumbledore returned with a new sense of
1:54
urgency he knew his time was limited and
1:57
though he continued his secret quest to
2:02
he now involved Sirius more directly it
2:06
was Sirius not Snape who Dumbledore
2:08
asked to train Harry in advanced magic
2:15
but unlike Snape Sirius didn't bark
2:18
orders or mock him he guided encouraged
2:21
and challenged Harry to be better this
2:24
mentorship changed Harry he became
2:26
sharper more focused and Sirius found
2:30
purpose not as a soldier of the order
2:32
but as a teacher and protector
2:36
harry's sixth year unfolded under a new
2:38
shadow the half-blood prince still
2:40
haunted the pages of a mysterious
2:42
textbook and Malfoy still moved
2:45
suspiciously through the corridors but
2:47
Harry wasn't alone he shared everything
2:50
with Sirius's suspicions frustrations
2:54
fears and Sirius listened
2:58
not just like a guardian but like a
3:00
friend who understood what it meant to
3:01
be watched to be feared to be doubted
3:06
when Dumbledore began sharing the
3:08
history of Tom Riddle through the
3:09
pensieve the serious was in the room too
3:13
offering insights from his own twisted
3:14
family tree together they began to
3:17
understand the man behind the mask of
3:19
Voldemort and knowledge they knew was
3:22
their best weapon dumbledore's death
3:25
still came not from illness but from a
3:28
calculated act the astronomy tower the
3:31
lightning struck knight the Horcrux ring
3:34
had cursed Dumbledore beyond saving but
3:37
this time when Dumbledore fell from the
3:39
tower Sirius was there screaming in
3:42
anguish holding back Harry as Snape fled
3:44
into the darkness sirius didn't collapse
3:47
he didn't retreat he rallied the order
3:50
he took leadership in Dumbledore's
3:52
absence as Harry planned to leave Privet
3:54
Drive Sirius insisted on going with him
3:57
ron and Hermione agreed they needed
4:00
Sirius he knew how to vanish how to
4:02
survive how to fight in shadows the
4:05
Horcrux hunt changed less wandering
4:09
fewer mistakes more strategy sirius
4:12
broke into the Ministry and retrieved
4:14
the locket he discovered Grimald place
4:18
had been compromised and led the escape
4:21
he helped navigate the forests the wilds
4:24
the dangers of a magical world on the
4:27
brink of war and when Ron left in
4:29
frustration he didn't stay gone not with
4:32
Sirius around the Godfather sat him down
4:35
and laid bare the cost of abandonment
4:38
ron returned the next morning together
4:41
they infiltrated Gringots it was Sirius
4:44
who rode the dragon out laughing like
4:46
the boy he once was they returned to a
4:50
world at war voldemort's forces
4:52
descended but this time Harry had not
4:55
just loyal friends he had Sirius during
4:59
the battle Sirius led the defense of the
5:01
castle he fought side by side with Remis
5:04
with Kingsley with McGonagal he duled
5:06
Bellatrix again this time not with rage
5:08
but with precision when she fell Sirius
5:12
didn't laugh he only said "It's over."
5:14
When Harry walked to the forest ready to
5:17
die Sirius tried to stop him "you don't
5:20
have to do this Harry we'll find another
5:22
way." But Harry understood and as he
5:25
turned the resurrection stone in his
5:27
hand Sirius appeared beside him
5:30
alongside Lily James and Reis "you've
5:33
always been brave," Sirius said "but you
5:35
don't have to be alone." When Voldemort
5:37
fell Harry stood in the rubble of
5:40
Hogwarts was Sirius beside him they had
5:43
both survived the impossible sirius was
5:45
exonerated the Ministry ashamed and
5:48
broken restored his name grimmel place
5:51
became a refuge for magical children
5:53
orphaned by the war harry didn't return
5:56
to the Derslley's he lived with Sirius
5:59
who became more than a guardian he
6:02
became a father together they rebuilt
6:05
they spoke of James and Lily of the
6:10
of love lost and regained and when Harry
6:13
eventually married Jinny it was Sirius
6:15
who stood beside him at the altar years
6:19
later Sirius stood in the yard of a
6:21
small house in Godric's Hollow watching
6:23
Harry's children race through the grass
6:26
he was older now his hair silvering but
6:28
his heart lighter than it had ever been
6:30
he had survived asaban he had survived
6:33
the war and he had lived long enough to
6:36
see the next generation live free when
6:38
Harry asked him one night if he ever
6:40
wished things had gone differently
6:42
Sirius simply replied "I once thought I
6:44
was born to suffer but fate gave me a
6:48
i spent every day making sure it wasn't
6:50
wasted the question so what if Sirius
6:54
never died at the ministry oh maybe the
6:57
world wouldn't be perfect the war would
6:59
still be brutal the losses still
7:02
profound but sometimes one life spared
7:04
can change everything and in this story
