When Home Means Being Yourself

Ajax Weasley was supposed to be Apolline.

At least, that's what his mother believed.

But Ajax knows who he is.

He's a twelve-year-old Gryffindor, a lover of books and autumn, a history-of-magic enthusiast, and-most importantly-he's a boy.

After Molly refuses to accept her son for who he really is, Ajax loses his place in the Weasley family and becomes a ward of Hogwarts.

But Hogwarts has other plans for him.

Professor Remus Lupin steps forward and becomes Ajax's guardian, giving him something he hasn't had in a long time: a home where being different isn't something he needs to apologize for.

Then Sirius Black returns.

Everyone believes Sirius is a dangerous murderer.

Ajax doesn't.

Because Remus knows the truth.

Sirius didn't betray James and Lily Potter.

Peter Pettigrew did.

And when the truth finally comes out, everything changes.

Sirius is freed.

Harry discovers that Sirius is his godfather.

And suddenly, Ajax isn't the only one finding a new family.

But rebuilding a family after twelve years apart isn't easy.

Neither is learning to trust someone when you've spent so long being told that they can't be trusted.

Between Hogwarts adventures, the Marauders' secrets, found family, brotherhood, and one very determined boy trying to figure out where he belongs, Ajax is about to discover something important:

Sometimes family isn't the people who were supposed to love you.

Sometimes family is the people who choose you.

And sometimes, home is simply the place where everyone calls you by the name that feels like yours.
