the story of harry potter...except what if somehow his parents were still alive? what if there was a deeper story to that night in Godrics Hollow?

This story starts on Harry's eleventh birthday :)

All rights for characters, places etc to JKR, this is just a made up version of the plot in my own head so I obviously do not own any of the characters etc :)

Thanks for 322 reads guys I'm thinking of doing another update but I'm not sure let me know what you think! What happens when Regulus turns up on the potters doorstep in the dead of night with a bag filled with nothing but his beloved books nearly a year after his brother Sirius had run away from home never to return again. Did James imagine how vulnerable Regulus looked when he first opened the door? Regulus would not let this destroy him, he would rebuild and maybe someday let someone love him. He was putting all his faith in his brother and the people his brother considered to be his family. Hopefully this would be his saving grace, maybe this would be his chance to start again. I made James 18 in this so he is 18 in seventh year and regulus is 17 in 6th year, all the rest of the marauders are also 18 in this I have decided that they start at Hogwarts when they are 12 instead of 11, you will understand later on in the story. Peter is also not in my story as he is a traitor that deserved a most horrible death. Feedback will be gladly appreciated. *Trigger warning, there may be some talk about suicide, depression, abuse and such.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not own any of the characters within this story nor do I own the world of Harry Potter they all belong to J.K Rowling (I don't in anyway condone or agree with any of slurs that have come from J.K Rowling) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start date - 9/10/2021 Finish date - 21/10/2021
The Heirs of The Noble House of Black by PinkLemonade28x
5 parts Ongoing
Tom Riddle love story set in the Marauders Era. The era of the marauders is a time of drastic societal change within the wizarding world. The 60's and 70's are a time of strife as squib protests commence and pure blood riots fight back in an attempt to maintain the social hierarchy which has always kept them on top. However, the difficult times are not only laced into the fabric of British wizarding society, as unrest is beginning to take place from within the castle walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many of the pureblood students echo the traditional sentiments of their parents, so what will happen when a talented young first year by the name of Tom Riddle joins the school? Will he travel down the path that we know of him and become the feared Lord Voldemort, or will the offer of friendship and love from the students of the marauders era be enough to sway him from his destiny? Follow Lyra Black (original character) and the rest of the next generation of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black (Bellatrix, Sirius, Andromeda, Narcissa and Regulus) as they attend Hogwarts. As they struggle through familial control and expectations, changes within their society, love, friendship, house rivalries and their own inner demons, will the heirs of the Black line be able to maintain their once strong familial bonds as they get pulled in different directions? This story deviates from the original timelines of the Harry Potter series in order to accommodate many of the characters that we know and love (or love to hate)! Lots of characters are brought together within the space of a few years, so their birth years will not be accurate. Also there are some other changes, such as age of attendance to Hogwarts beginning at 15 (and ending at 22) because I didn't want to write about 11 year olds! ;) This story is based off the Harry Potter series and all rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own Lyra Black, other original characters and original plot lines.
