James Potter, the grieving widower and father has been Minister for Magic for a year, but with Great Power comes Great Responsibility and those who hold the office of the people are usually the most lonely.

Summary
“Fine,” said Sirius calmly. “We’ll live in the garden.”
“What?” said Remus.
“What?” said Petunia.
Vernon did his best impression of a walrus mixed with a tomato.
“You don’t want to raise him,” said Sirius, with the air of describing something to the incredibly dimwitted, “and we sure as hell don’t want you to bloody raise him. But he can’t leave your property; he’s got to call this…” he gestured disdainfully at the living room, “a home until he’s of age. So we’ll live in the back garden.”(formerly 'Moony and the Dogfather')

Summary
Of all the things that could happen after being kid-napped by his brother, Sirius didn't think he'd ever be standing with a locket in his hand that supposedly contained a piece of Voldemort's soul and James telling him he was in love with him, but apparently, that's how life was going to go.

Summary
A truth: Sirius was not, in any way, prepared for or in want of a child.
It was not that he was too immature or free-spirited to think about ‘settling down'. No; the truth was that the idea of parenting—of a young child’s attitude and manners and beliefs in his reckless irresponsible hands—terrified him. But the second truth, one no less important, was that just because he felt neither ready nor deserving to raise Harry did not, in any way, mean he did not want to.
(Sirius is released from Azkaban and moves back in with Remus when Harry is eight years old. This is not a chance he is willing to waste.)

Summary
Harry is fifteen when he gets a letter from Hogwarts, a private school for wealthy children from influential parents. He rolled his eyes, the Dursley's weren't exactly influential. His heart clenches when he realizes that this 'Albus Dumbledore' only wants him to attend because his father was the Mayor of London before he was murdered. He wants to burn the letter, wants to tell the headmaster to go to hell, wants to scream at the injustice of only mattering to them when he is useful... but he doesn't. Harry realizes that this might be his only chance of escaping the Dursleys. Surely, Hogwarts would be better than here... right? Surely, Hogwarts would help him on the path to finding Tom Riddle, his parent's murderer... right?
This story starts at the Epilogue and tells the tale of how Harry escaped his relatives, found love, hatred and a bad taste for revenge. One thing is certain, if Harry ever comes across Tom Riddle, only one of them would be walking out alive... and it sure wouldn't be the murdering serial killer.
