The new trio are back for their second year at Hogwarts, and the Chamber is due to be opened soon. Draco has more or less been adopted by Sirius and Remus, and is extremely happy to be a part of a nice, relaxed family. Well... as relaxed as it can get with the ex-Marauders around, anyway. In the meantime, Blaise has felt lonely, being cut off from Draco, so he decides to confront him to try to get his best friend back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The second installment in the series rewrite. Things are starting to become a little more AU.

After successfully managing to gain custody of Harry, Remus and Sirius have raised Harry well. He knows that he's loved, and well-treated, and he's friends with Ron and Neville. However, a visit to Gringotts on Harry's tenth birthday to get him confirmed as the heir to the Potter and Black Houses proves that Dumbledore has done something awful to Harry, and they realise they must remain cautious of him. This leads us to Harry's very well-known first year at Hogwarts, but this time with Draco, Neville, and Hermione by his side. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a note: Most of the relationships will start to happen in the third book. It's my plan to work through all the canon books. This first one starts out echoing canon very closely, but will become quite AU after the first few books. Also, I'm cross-posting this on AO3 under my username, MaraRiall, just in case you find it there.

Harry Potter was the Boy Who Lived. When he was sent to live with his mother's sister, he wasn't living any kind of life. Constant chores, unearned punishments from his whale of an Uncle, and a musty living space under the stairs that kept him hidden from the outside world. Sirius Black was freed from Azkaban prison and cleared of all charges after an interesting hearing in the ministry. Ever since, he had been fighting for parental rights for his Godson, Harry Potter. When Arabella Figg overhears one of Harry's harsh punishments, the adoption process is sped up and Harry is given to Sirius and his best friend and roommate, Remus Lupin. Read on as a little boy discovers that he is loved and as two prankster wizards turned fathers learn to deal with one of the most stressful jobs in the world--parenthood. {Possible SB/RL later on.
