In a world where Voldemort took power but was successfully defeated by the Ministry, Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Marlene, Mary, and Dorcas survived and were able to continue their lives. Now, almost ten years after the unsuccessful attempt to kill James and Lily, they continued to live their lives and were able to raise their son Harry the way they were almost meant to. Sirius and Remus had a child of their own: Valentina (Val) Lupin-Black, who grew up with Harry, her best friend, and everyone she loved at her side. Now, it's Harry and Val's turn to enjoy the adventure. Starting with the first day of their first year at Hogwarts, this book will take you through all seven years at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with plenty of twists, turns, and content we all desperately deserve after loving these characters for too long, wishing things had turned out another way. *This story is still ongoing! I plan to update whenever I can, every few days. *All of the characters (except the ones that I have created) and major plot lines (unfortunately) are credited to JKR, whose beliefs I do not support. This is a wolfstar, jily, marauders, lgbtq+, harry potter universe safe place, and everyone is welcome here to enjoy the story.

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.
