    Summary

    Harry Potter, son of Lily and James Potter, was an abused boy who just wanted to escape. Becoming Henry Evan Black was easy, and running away to start a new life was even easier after discovering his real parentage.

    After spending three happy and peaceful years at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Henry is pulled back to Britain when his name unexpectedly comes out of the Goblet of Fire and he's forced to compete as the Fourth Triwizard Champion.

    Henry must adapt to his new surroundings as best he can while hiding his past identity from everyone around him; it ends up being harder than he first thought.

    Rewrite of: Harrison James Orion Potter-Evans-Black

    Summary

    "Well, here we are." Sirius pushed open the door with a grand sweep of his arms. “Home sweet Hell.”

    Sirius had bad memories of Grimmauld Place, tainted by his own less than stellar family. But for Harry, whose summers had previously involved being locked away either in a cupboard or Dudley's second room--with bars on the windows, no less--it was perfect.

    ---
    With Sirius free from Azkaban and taking up his role as Harry's guardian, Voldemort pursuing a political path to power rather than bloodshed, and a defense teacher that isn't actively trying to kill him for once, Harry has high hopes for his third year at Hogwarts. It'll be nice to sit back and be a kid for once.

    Only Harry's life is never so simple, and he soon finds himself facing a myriad of new challenges: school bullies and new family dynamics, horcruxes all but falling into his lap, his deja-vu brain giving him mixed signals, and hidden murmurs arising from old Death Eater circles that may pose a threat to him regardless of his tentative alliance with Voldemort. Things seem destined to never be easy, but if there's one thing Harry knows by now, it's that he won't have to do it alone.
