Her eyes fluttered open for the first time in hundreds of years, alighting on the strange man who released her from her prison. A gasp, followed by a heartbreaking wail, was the first noise emitted from her long petrified throat. She was free, and while it wasn't the sweet release of death she imagined, it was a chance to live a life that was stolen from her so long ago.

A new series detailing the life of Sirius Black in the eyes of one who wants to give him a better start. There will be love and laughter alongside the fair share of pain and war. The story starts at year six for Sirius, and is not cannon compliant. Rating M due to later scenes I have planned that are too graphic for young audience. Trigger warnings in story.

This is the start up of a long chain of stories. It features Severus Snape and an OC starting Hogwarts. It is a bit of background information with the intent to turn it into Severus/OC pairing. This is marauders era. Severus meets a young girl at the train station, and forms a tight friendship.
