CHAPTER ONE: You Say You're Used To Playin With Fire
After the war was over, there was nothing left for some people; whole families were decimated, leaving only sad memories. A few of these people were heading to America: Washington to be exact.
Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Fred and George Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, and Luna Lovegood, created their own family. Remus and Sirius legally adopted Harry and Draco; the rest of the teens emancipated themselves. All the legal means were used, that way no one could force them back into the Britain. Harry and Draco became Harrison and Drake Black and a new life was started.
Landing in Washington after a long but relieving plane ride, the group exited the airport and got in a black SUV that Sirius ordered to meet them there. They drove to Forks and found themselves standing outside their new house. It was a large three story country style house with a large yard and an underground garage. When Sirius bought the house he gave the plans to Luna and let her do as she pleased, and designed the whole house catered to each individual's futures that she saw.
After taking in the enormity of the house and exactly what it meant the two couples did the first thing they could think of: Remus grabbed his mate and Fred pushed Neville against the car and they were thoroughly snogged for the first time in public. Britain had no tolerance for same sex couples but in America they didn't care. The rest of the group just smiled and rolled their eyes, then made their way into the house.
The house was already furnished to Luna's specifications and Harry took his time studying the layout, while the others ran off to find their perspective rooms. Standing in the doorway, the living room was currently to his left; out the window he could see part of the wraparound porch. Further up to the right was a large kitchen, in the middle of the hall was a tall circular staircase leading up to the second and third floors. Sirius and Remus' rooms were behind the staircase and to the right of the room lay the stairs to the garage. After taking stock of the first floor, Harry slowly made his way to the second. His emotions, the ones he thought he smothered deep within him, slowly came creeping up on him as he stood in front of a door that had large gold letters spelled out into his name. He stood in front of it unsure what to do. Then Luna came up behind him.
"It's yours Harry, all yours." She said quietly and gently nudged him towards the door.
Opening it he saw the tastefully decorated room, three of the walls were cream white while the far one, across from the bed was covered in a large magical mural. On the floor next to it was a piano a myriad of other instruments.
"Luna!" He yelled to her. "I don't play any of these!"
Luna only shrugged her shoulders and simply said in her dreamy voice, "You should learn."
Harry rolled his eyes and walked closer to the mural. It was a moving picture and showed a daytime scene currently. Within it were six people, three of the Marauders, Lily Potter, Severus Snape, and Hermione Granger. The Marauders were goofing off and messing around while the other three were sitting next to a pond with books all around them. Harry smiled and tears welled up in his eyes.
Turning around he saw the large bed against the other wall. The sheets were gold with a green comforter. The floor beneath him was a dark hardwood, running across it he jumped on the bed and let out a loud "Whoop!" He attracted the attention of the two men in the hall.
"What do you think, pup?" Sirius started.
Harry got back up and ran to his fathers, hugging them in a rare moment of childish behavior. "I love it! This is the best day ever!" He said excitedly. "I finally have a real home," Harry whispered.
"That's what we wanted, just for you." Remus replied with a smile.
Draco came from his room, "It's strange not being on the train right now."
"Yeah, new school. Draco's gonna be a muggle!" Neville gently made fun of the blonde. By now the whole group had gathered around Harry's room, then they made their way to the pseudo-common room on the third floor. They all sat around the fireplace in the comfortable black chairs.
"So, do you all like the house?" Ventured Sirius.
They all looked at each other and responded in unison, "We love it!"
"It's perfect guys, great for all of us." Claimed Neville.
"Its better than-"
"-the Burrow, that's-"
"-for sure." Fred and George spoke in their strange way with smile.
"Yes, thank you, all of you. I never thought I would have...this." Luna smiled wistfully.
"Oh shush. You are going to choke me with all your Gryffindor smush." Sneered Draco without any real malice.
"Aw, does poor Drakey feel all alone?" Teased Harry, ducking a swat from the Slytherin.
"Yes, actually, I do. I need some snakes to defend me from all you loser lions."
"Hmm...not a snake... How do you feel about wolves?" Luna fell into her far away voice again.
"What do you mean, Lune?" Drake asked slowly with a small smirk.
"Oh you'll see," she mirrored his smirk. "And Harry... I hope you like sparkly things!"
Harry raised one eyebrow. "What?" He deadpanned.
Luna yawned. "I think its bedtime for me." And she walked out.
"That girl is crazy," mused Sirius.
"You're one to talk," mumbled a disgruntled Draco.
"Yeah, shut up Sirius," Harry joined in with the same voice.
"Alright grumpypants, get on to bed. New school tomorrow, big day." Instructed Remus.
"Muggle school," muttered Drake through Fred and George's laughs. He then stalked off to bed.
"Night Sirius, Remus," said Harry and hugged them both. When he walked into his room he noticed that the mural was now a night scene and his loved ones were in their animagus forms. Prongs and a doe were walking about, Padfoot, and Moony were being taunted by an onyx raven flying above and an otter was now in the pond rolling her eyes at the silly sight. "Wow," Harry breathed. He got ready for bed and was soon fast asleep.
