    Summary

    Harry Begins his fifth year at Hogwarts and his apprenticeship with Professor Snape.

    "Thank you, Professor Umbridge, for that illuminating speech. As I said before, we have two and a half changes to the staff, and we are pleased to announce an assistant has been added to our staff. Professor Snape, as it is only fair after letting Professor Umbridge speak, and given the popular demand expressed earlier, would you like to make the formal introduction yourself?"

    "I, Severus Tobias Snape, Master of Potions bronze level in good standing with the potioneer’s guild, Master of the Dark Arts fully registered and licensed to operate in all territories under the ICW, junior mediwizard, have taken as my apprentice Lord Harry James Potter, to guide in life and magic and work to further magical advancement," the announcement was met with gasps and chatter, but accompanied by much more enthusiastic applause than what Umbridge had received. Malfoy's jaw was hanging open, Zabini looked pale, Ron and Hermione were applauding loudly while the twins sang 'for he's a jolly good fellow.' At the Ravenclaw table, Boot was turning this way and that excitedly while Mandy was laughing through her applause.

    Summary

    What if Peter Pettigrew had been caught?
    What if Sirius Black never went to Azkaban?

    In a single split-second decision, the course of the wizarding world changes. Instead of prison, Sirius Black finds himself raising Harry James Potter—alongside Remus Lupin and, through reluctant necessity (and fate), Severus Snape.

    Three men. One child. And a life shaped not by prophecy, but by choice.

    Raised with as many last names as parents, Harry grows up loved—fiercely, if not always gently. Trained in magic, politics, memory, and legacy, he learns that to love is not to shield, but to prepare. He isn’t hidden from the dark—he’s taught how to walk through it.

    Part I: A childhood of broken men, healing bonds, and quiet resilience. (Chapters 1–28 | 221k words)
    Part II: Slytherin Harry at Hogwarts. Ambitious, kind, loyal to a fault, and destined to surprise them all. (Ongoing)

    Not the Boy Who Lived they expected. And perhaps something more powerful: a boy who was loved.

    Summary

    When Draco is turned into a werewolf in 1998, he does not expect to be given a bedroom in Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, nor does he expect to find a whole new set of friends.

    When Harry is turned into a werewolf in 2004, he does not expect to make a whole new set of friends. He could have anticipated, however, falling even harder in love with the stubborn, acerbic, workaholic prat who’s been hovering at the fringes of his life for the past seven years.

    This is exactly what happens.
