In the Dark Lord's Service

Sly, sexy, twisted and evil. Drawing inspiration from JKR's official site, this story follows the AU character, Pyrites, on the night of the Potters' murder. Includes Wormtail's betrayal and a wizard's duel or two. Dark, dramatic stuff...and oh yeah, Sirius Black shows up to make things even better.

Godric's Hollow, Halloween, 1981. The time has come for Lord Voldemort to kill the infant Harry Potter and to secure his victory in the war against Dumbledore's forces. Only, as we all know, and as Pyrites soon discovers, something is destined to go terribly awry for You Know Who...

Pyrites enters the Potters' house, moments after Lord Voldemort is destroyed by his own Avada Kedavra spell...only to be confronted with puzzles, mysteries, an infant Harry Potter...and a very, very miffed godfather.

"Wizard's Duel"...Death Eater extraordinaire Antonio Pyrites v. Sirius "Padfoot" Black. The two engage in a bitter, fan-girl shriek inducing battle for guardianship of the infant Harry Potter. Insults will be thrown, cursed will be fired, and a certain cottage in Godric's Hollow will be taken to the ground.

In the final chapter, Sirius manages to save both himself and Harry from Pyrites' treachery, while Pyrites makes a break for it in the skies. Sirius swears an oath to Harry to avenge his parents' deaths. The finale is a bitter and bloody confrontation between godfather and Death Eater.
