What If Sirius Black Survived the Death Chamber? | A Harry Potter What If

In this AU, Sirius walks out of the Death Chamber alive

—
🎵 What If the Veil Never Claimed Him

Moonlight on the grounds, castle at their backs,
Shouting in the dark, spells like thunder cracks.
Rat feet racing through the roots and weeds,
Pettigrew runs for freedom in the forest reeds.

Crookshanks in the bracken, golden eyes like knives,
Claws around a tail that’s bartering for its life.
One sharp yowl, a flash of human skin,
Snape steps out and drags the traitor in.

Newspapers at breakfast, ink and shouted cheers,
Sirius Black is free after all those years.

Chains fall quiet, Azkaban behind,
And the wrongfully accused gets back his life.

What if the Veil never claimed him,
What if the fall never came?
What if a rat in the forest
Put the world back in its place?
He’s the dog who lived when the story said he’d die,
A second chance burning like a star in Harry’s sky.

When the candles gutter and the hallway freezes grey,
Dementors in his nightmares still won’t go away.
He wakes up shaking, breath caught in his chest,
Haunted by the prison he has left.

Broomsticks in a shopfront, brass bells on the door,
Brown-eyed witch laughing, feet on the floor.
She holds him through the tremors when the dark drags near,
And chases off the shadows whispering in his ear.

What if the Veil never claimed him,
What if the fall never came?
What if a rat in the forest
Put the world back in its place?
He’s the dog who lived when the legend said he’d fall,
Learning how to love again in Diagon Alley’s halls.

Hall of spinning prophecies, spells across the dark,
Bellatrix is smiling, aiming for his heart.
But there’s another wand hand, fierce and blazing bright,
She throws a shield that bends the killing light.

Later with Dumbledore above a cursed black ring,
Old wizard reaches, hears it whispering.
Sirius grabs his wrist—“I know what death can do,
You’re not wearing that while Harry still needs you.”

Kreacher with a locket, R.A.B. in every line,
Caves and vaults and diadems burning out of time.

Riddle House windows like eyes without a soul,
Nagini on the staircase, ready to unroll.
Ron, Hermione, Snape and Sirius stand,
Strike the serpent down with a single blazing band.

Voldemort’s curse hits Harry, world goes still and thin,
The final broken Horcrux falling out of him.
Then Dumbledore rises with the Elder Wand drawn,
And ends the war before the break of dawn.

What if the Veil never claimed him,
What if the fall never came?
One scared rat in the forest
Changed the ending of the game.
He’s the dog who lived when the prophecy ran thin,
The godfather at Harry’s side when the light floods in.
If the grave stepped back and let him walk on,
He’ll guard that boy forever
Between the dusk and dawn.
