    Summary

    After that fateful night in 1981, Sirius Black never went after Peter Pettigrew to avenge his best friends. Instead, he found a new purpose raising their son to be everything they ever hoped he could be.

    Now, twelve years later, the past has come back to haunt Harry and Sirius in the form of old friends, thought-dead enemies, and too many memories.

    All this while navigating schoolwork, teenage angst, dementors, and first loves, it's shaping up to be one hell of a year.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger-Black was not a broken woman; not by any stretch of the imagination. She was a woman with a plan (as was usually the case with her), and she knew that somewhere beyond this place of wrath and tears she would find a reality worth living in. Hermione was a woman that would wrench the world apart for taking her last shred of love away.

    Maybe she was broken after all.

    Summary

    Seven months after the Battle of Hogwarts, life is returning to normal. Mostly.

    Hermione Granger is back at Hogwarts for her final year, still unable to restore her parents' memories, but determined to finish her studies. Sirius Black has returned from the Veil, alive and not entirely sure what to do with that. The war is over, or so they're told.

    But a corrupt Ministry is tightening its grip, and when a Muggle-born Marriage Act passes, Hermione finds herself pulled from Hogwarts and assigned a husband she barely knows. Then Grimmauld Place receives an unexpected visitor from the future, and the world they've left behind is worse than anything Voldemort ever managed.

    The Order of the Phoenix has a new mission: not to fight the war that happened, but to prevent the one that's coming.

    Summary

    "I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"

    "There's nothing more we can do."

    "He will kill you!"

    "Then he'll kill me, Severus!"

    "Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."

    "Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"

    "I don't want you to die!"
    - The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.

    Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

    Summary

    Sirius, the dog star. Brightest star in the sky. It's not a single star. It's a binary system: two stars that orbit each other around a common centre of gravity. A larger one, and a smaller one. Some even think there's an even smaller third star in the mix.

    Three months have passed since the final battle at Hogwarts. In an event known to the Wizarding public as "The Miracle at the Veil", four of Harry, Ron, and Hermione's dearly departed comrades have been returned to the world of the living. All should be well – or, at least, returning to normalcy – but with Minister for Magic Delores Umbridge in charge, Hermione isn't convinced. With so many believing the troubled times have passed, the Order of the Phoenix has been reduced to fewer than thirty members. It's them against the entire Ministry of Magic and a population sick and tired of war. Hermione can't stop fighting, nothing can go back to the way it used to be, and with a new, unexpected, and, at first, unwanted partner in crime, she has to grow up fast.

    As an Irish bookseller also by the name of Black once dismissively asserted: "you'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life". This story mixes romance, drama, humour, and action.
