The Concept Of Family
Rating: K
Disclaimer: I won't put this in every chapter because it's pointless and I don't want to sound like a broken record, so it applies for all the chapters. I don't own any of the characters, spells, and ideas that originated from the Harry Potter series. I far from own the Harry Potter universe. The universe belongs to mrs. Rowling. I am merely having some fun with her universe and don't intend to make any money off her work.
Authors Note: I have revised all chapters of this story so I just thought we'd start over. I have revised the way Remus speaks and a few actions here and there. I have changed Harry's age to being about 9 months older, and I've added a few new scenes in random places. The text of the story has only changed slightly besides the additional scenes, but I still suggest you read the whole thing over again. It'll be worth your while. I am also sure you will enjoy the new versions of the story.
Also, this story is Of course AU but I attempt to keep characters in character except for Harry, who should be in character in later chapters once he's rid himself of the effects of the abuse. Sirius will appear in the story, and no, it's not going to be a slash fanfiction. Remus And Sirius will just be friends and friends only. I am trying to write this how I believe Rowling would go about writing this. It is going to ruin plot lines of the story, but mostly only the third book. Maybe the 5th and the 7th, but I don't believe it would effect too many others majorly.
I will also mention some side effects of abuse and you'll see them in the story. I am taking some basic psychology and applying it here. So, expect some degree of logic in the mix as well. I don't think it will effect how cannon this story will be, I don't think it will change anything too majorly either.
Remus will not be considering himself as a father or uncle, just what he considers himself in the books. Harry will of course attempt to call him dad, but no one said moony was going to allow it to happen. I also do not intend to use pet names such as Cub or Prongslet. No, Sirius won't turn in to a dog every other second to amuse him either. Basically what you see in the books is what you'll se here for the most part. If I step out of line please do tell me!
I also appreciate reviews and want them badly so please review away. Please leave me some comments. I want to know what I did right, and what I didn't. Your Feedback is the only way I'll know. The writer needs his readers, but more importantly, it needs his reviewers. He will be nothing without them and never know how to refine his art. After all, that's the only way I might be able to improve this tale of mine. Reviews and feedback is essential to writers and honest critique will go very far. So, I beg of you, please criticize and praise away! Whatever, you choose to do leave me some picture of what you think of my writings. Thank you for reading through this story of mine in advance. I appreciate it. I am delighted that you're giving my story a go!
