What if Peter Pettigrew had never framed Sirius Black for betraying his best friend and his wife to Lord Voldemort? What if he had been caught and Sirius had been left free? On Harry's 11th Birthday Sirius accompanies Hagrid to deliver the Hogwarts letter to him, whisking him away from the nasty Dursleys for good. Harry's finally getting the childhood he deserved after being sheltered from the wizarding world since his parents death 11 years ago; and the fun's only just begun! (I'm writing this for fun, not sure how many chapters I'll do or how often I'll update) Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but the woman who does shaped my childhood, thanks Jo!
