Get Out of This Town

Summary:

Sirius had to leave

originally posted on FFNet in 2008

Notes:

This was written in 2008 as part of an iPod shuffle challenge: write a ficlet inspired by whatever song comes up on shuffle, but you only have the length of the song to write it.
This fic was written during/inspired by the song of the same name by Carrie Underwood

Pruned a bit to fit the proper definition of a drabble, and maybe not up to my current standards, but I think it's good enough to bring over.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Sirius had to leave, didn't you see?

The house was killing him.

His family were bigoted pigs; probably plotting to kill him.

He hadn't made any plans to leave; he hadn't unpacked his trunk, either.

If he wanted to leave, there was the Knight Bus – if that failed, the Muggle Underground.

He hated this house, this family, this pureblood-mania. He had to leave.

The House Elf was probably trying to poison him… maybe Regulus was stopping him, but Sirius didn't think his brother was that compassionate. Maybe to save Kreacher's life; not for his own brother.

Sirius had to leave.
