There is Always a Choice

Welcome to the new story! This is something I've worked on for a little over a year and I've finally finished it (except for the final two chapters) and I decided to just post it. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know in the comments and please, no hate. This will have boyxboy pairings. If you don't like that, don't read this. Any hateful comments will be reported and/or deleted. 

Aside from that, enjoy! 

Author’s Notes: James’ sister, Kiana Potter, had been watching Harry the dreaded night of October 31st, 1981. Sirius never chased Peter down due to being with Remus and Talianna (Their daughter from a surrogate with both of their genes and none of the baby mama’s.) and because of this; Peter was found to be a traitor and locked away in Azkaban. Thus, no Dursleys (thank the gods!). This story really focuses on an OC, named Talianna Lupin, who plays an important role in this AU of the HP series.

This story jumps quickly through time the first few years. I wanted to lay out the background for the relationships and friendships and that just couldn’t be done with a summary. I’ll do my best to do it justice. Enjoy, my darlings!

There is Always a Choice

   Chapter I: The Beginning

                                     “The beginning enables the ending.” – Anonymous. 

The platform was large and invasive. Noise its main attraction and, goodness, did many pay to witness. Images flash across her eyes, brown like her father’s, her smirk like her dad’s as she spots the white-blonde hair of her best friend and his parents.

Her voice, so high and clear, cuts through the station’s main ride and strikes her friend’s ears, making him jerk around, a bright smile upon his small, pointy face.

“Draco!”

“Tallie!”

“And Harry, too!” A third child, this one shorter than the other two with coal-black hair and twinkling green eyes, intercepts their running hug, capturing them both in his arms. The three laugh with joy as the parents slowly approach, as if in a duel. Lucius keeps his mouth from slipping into a smile at the sight of his son so happy from the harshest of mental reprimands while Narcissa rolls her eyes gracefully at Lily Potter. Lily flashes an amused smile before greeting Sirius and Remus Lupin. Sirius looks disgruntled from his little girl so entangled with a Malfoy, but at a warning glare from both Remus and James, he huffs and smiles tightly at the little blonde boy before nodding coolly to his parents.

“HOGWARTS!” The three trill and grab hands as they dance in a circling jig, giggling and whooping with the excitement that what they’ve been anticipating for so long has finally come to be.

“Draco” Lucius rebukes at his son’s exuberance. Draco stops and looks up with concerned grey eyes before smiling at his calming friends tightly.

“The train will be leaving soon. Are your trunks on, yet?” Draco asks with the height of politeness. Narcissa smothers a laugh in her gloved hand before holding the other out for the men to shake and a small hug for Lily.

“Yes! I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see the Whomping Willow! It’s my favorite!” Tallie shrieks, beginning to jump again. Sirius and Remus smile benevolently down at their little cub, their clasped hands still drawing both curious and disgusted glares after all these years.

“You haven’t even been there! You don’t know!” Harry protests, still smiling at his silver-haired friend. Draco beams and grabs Tallie’s hand again, tugging her towards the train with Harry trailing behind.
