    Summary

    Harry Potter is twice-orphaned by the time he's nine years old. When his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon die in a car crash before his ninth birthday, he's sent with his cousin Dudley to live with Aunt Marge. Unfortunately, Aunt Marge drops him off at what she thinks is an orphanage, leaving Harry in the care of children's services.

    A year later, Remus Lupin comes looking for his best friend's son, to check on his welfare. When he finds Harry missing, he asks for his father's help in getting Harry to safety and family. As Remus, Lyall, and Harry navigate their new family dynamics, they are challenged by all parts of the wizarding world, and by the mysterious events that follow with Harry's years at Hogwarts. Chapters will alternate between Harry POV and Remus POV, unless otherwise stated. Canon-compliant relationships.

    Part 1: Covers 1990-1994, including the year before Harry's first year at Hogwarts through the end of canon's Prisoner of Azkaban. COMPLETE.

    Part 2: Underway as of 15 June 2022! See "A Changing Pack."

    Summary

    A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own.

    It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.
    But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family.

    A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5.

    Summary

    In one universe, Remus Lupin lets guilt and shame keep him from writing to Harry in the summer of ‘94. In this universe, he writes anyway, and in so doing, changes quite a lot.

    Or, Remus concludes that Harry needs a stable and caring adult in his life. He also concludes that he’s not up to the job, but there’s a surprising shortage of candidates, so he’s just going to have to become the person Harry needs.
