Chapter One:

Harry Potter looked upon the new school with worry. After moving into a new town he had no wish to make a fool of himself his first day at a new school. The 17 year old boy glanced once more at the big stone archway that bore the schools name, Richmond High. Harry Potter was an average looking boy who was a bit to skinny for his age with round glasses that hid emerald green eyes with a mop of messy black hair. His Godfather Sirius often teased him about it, no matter the dark looks he got from his lover Remus.

Harry was lost in his thoughts and apparently so was the person that knocked into him. Harry stumbled forwards slightly before turning to look behind him. The girl sighed and Harry rolled his eyes. For being practically siblings they weren't the best of friends. Alawna was the same age as Harry and they were only siblings do to the fact that they were both under the care of Remus and Sirius. Alawna was the daughter of Regulus Black and a woman from his younger days; however, after Regulus took to the roads and all disappeared and her mother died from cancer, Alawna had been taken in by her uncle, Sirius.

Alawna flicked a long piece of blonde hair from her blue vision. "Honestly Harry, have you forgotten how to walk with your moving?"

"Not quite." Harry replied as he followed her inside the building. Although they acted cold towards each other they did actually have moments were they were civil and acted like friends, but those were few and far between.

Alawna led Harry to their lockers, placed next to each other, and then to their first class, home Ec. Harry hadn't wanted to take the class but Remus had assured him that he would need to know how to cook when he moved out. Besides that fact, Remus and the cooking professor were good friends although Harry had to wonder how they had met.

The two entered the classroom of a tall woman with a wrinkled face, light brown hair done up in a bun, and a tight mouth. "Nice to see the Black superstars attending class."

"We were dropped off late, Professor McGonagall." Alawna replied sitting at a table. Harry sunk down next to her. "Have you met Harry ma'am?"

The woman smiled. "No, I didn't get the chance; however, Remus was quick to praise you…Harry Potter was it? So your father would have been James…yes, another interesting one."

Harry tried to give her a calm smile.

"Now then, we shall split into pairs for today cooking lesson." McGonagall said with such a strict attention in her voice that the class immediately quieted down. Harry glanced around at the students that he would be spending the rest of the year with and gave a hard swallow. He had never been good at making new friends.

His eyes fell upon the almost white hair of a boy sitting diagonally from him. Harry's eyes went wide as he recognized the boy. Harry had spent some time at the boy's house while the boy's father had settled all of his legal affairs and assigned Sirius as his guardian. The boy was none other than Draco Malfoy, the son of a very prestigious lawyer. Harry glanced at Alawna who looked back. She could sense his uneasiness and shot him a small smile.

Harry was relieved that he wasn't pared with Draco, but was scared that he had to be pared with someone he didn't know. However, the freckled boy next to him seemed nice enough. He soon learned that the boy's name was Ronald Weasley (respectfully Ron) and that he was the youngest of six boys and had a younger sister as well. Harry soon found himself smiling and laughing with the other boy as they desperately tried to mix the ingredients to a cake. Harry glanced over at Alawna to see her fairing better.

Alawna would be the first to admit that she wasn't the best at cooking. She had what some considered blonde moments where she forgot to bring the water to a boil before adding noodles, but it wasn't as if she had ever killed her family with her cooking. However, she had all but lucked out when McGonagall had given her Hermione Granger as her partner. Not only was the girl smart, but she could also handle well measured jokes. With her help Alawna could successfully tell Remus when she got home that she had helped bake a cake.

McGonagall settled down into her desk to watch her students as they continued following the recipe. It didn't seem all that long ago that she had had Sirius, Remus, James, Lily, Severus, and Peter in her class. A smile lit her face at the memory of Sirius, Remus, and James goofing around while Peter looked onwards with expectance and Lily shot them dark looks while the distempered Severus would shoot them all evil looks. Her attention was grabbed when a startled cry broke out.

"Blaise, you prat, look what you've done!" Draco shouted catching everyone's attention. Indeed Blaise had done something. Cake batter was all over Draco's vest, staining the dark material.

Blaise was holding an amused look upon his face. "Sorry Drake, guess my hand slipped."

"Your hand slipped! Please, look at this mess!"

"Now now, calm down Mr. Malfoy. Let's get you cleaned up." McGonagall said as she led the boy away from the table. Malfoy's cheeks were turning pink and Harry could see that the boy looked embarrassed beyond belief. Harry found himself wondering how someone could get so embarrassed over having a vest ruined, but then again, he didn't exactly take a lot of time to make himself look nice.

Draco kept his eyes faced downwards as he was led to the bathroom with McGonagall. As soon as they had left whispers started in the room like wildfire while Blaise held a triumphant look on his face. Harry looked over at Alawna to see her shooting Blaise a very dark look.

It was lunch time and Alawna led Harry over to an empty table. They were both carrying bags with homemade lunches that Remus considered acceptable and that wasn't "garbage served at school". Their empty table soon became full as they were joined by Ron, Hermione, and five other people that Harry had seen in his classes but did not know the names of. He quickly learned that the tall dark haired, dark eyed man was Theodore Nott, or Theo, the pale girl with light, long hair and blue eyes was Luna Lovegood, who was a year younger than them all along with Ginny Weasley who looked so much like Ron there was no doubt that they were siblings accept for the fact that Ginny's hair reached her shoulders. The two others were boys in their year. One named Dean and the other Seamus. Dean had a dark complexion with short hair; whereas, Seamus had short blonde hair with a sprinkle of freckles under his brown eyes.

Alawna went further into explanation to tell Harry that Theo was her drum player, Luna was on keyboard, and that Seamus was her bass guitar player. Harry had heard them practicing in the garage but had never met the people that made up Siren, a small local band.

"Where's Blaise?" Luna inquired. Alawna shrugged and nudged Theo lightly.

"Probably with Draco." Theo replied from behind his book. "I saw them head off together."

Ron gave a chuckle before Hermione elbowed him.

Harry sighed as he collapsed into the comfy chair. School had been tiring and after the cooking class having it followed by history, Spanish, and English made his first day tiring. And tomorrow didn't look any better. He had gym, math, chemistry, and finally an off period that Alawna had as well. Harry turned his attention to Alawna's voice in the kitchen exclaiming to Remus how she had helped make a cake today. Harry's thoughts trailed off to Draco and how the boy had looked at him.

Sirius dropped his keys on the coffee table and looked at his godson. "Hard day?"

"It was alright, the block schedule will take some time to get use to." Harry replied with a smile.

Sirius returned the look. "Alawna wasn't to mean to you today was she?"

"Excuse me?" Alawna said poking her head into the room. "I couldn't have just heard my guardian saying that I was mean to my brother."

Sirius chuckled. "Oh not at all!"

Remus moved into the room, bringing Alawna with him by her shoulders. Remus was almost the opposite of his husband. His sandy brown hair was flecked with premature grey but his eyes were warm and inviting. He wore a dress casual style and had a book in every room. Sirius on the other hand wore jean in either blue of black with a solid color, dark shirts. His long hair was always loose, falling about his dark eyes and his crude humor made him seem like he had never had any innocence.

"Are we going to the movies tonight while Alawna's band practices?" Remus inquired.

Sirius smiled. "Sounds like a plan, want to come Harry?"

Harry shook his head in answer. "I'll stay home."

Harry still found it hard to believe that Alawna was so into music. Alawna was a lead singer in the band she had introduced at lunch that mostly played songs already created by artists and a few of their own. They had no hopes of making it big, but it was something that a kid from school could always call on to play at a party.

Around seven Harry was wishing he had gone to the movies. He had enjoyed listening to the band at first but through the third song there had been a loud banging noise and then shouting that hadn't let up. Harry let out a groan as he made his way out of his bedroom to see what the commotion was about.

Harry opened up the garage door to find Blaise kicking the side of the house. Alawna was leaning against the other side of the garage watching him with a bored look that was reflected upon Theo's face. Luna and Seamus were giving annoyed sighs. Alawna looked up at Harry and motioned him to come in.

"Do you mind with the kicking?" Harry asked Blaise as he came down the garage stairs.

"Piss off!" Blaise shouted.

Alawna through a guitar pick she was holding at him. "Hey, don't talk like that to him when he asked you a simple question!"

Blaise stopped kicking the wall and held a pout upon his face.

Alawna cleared her throat, more to pass over the subject. "Harry, this is Blaise as you know from Home Ec, he's my main male singer and guitarist. Or at least he would be if we could get any practice in."

"Yeah, whatever." Blaise replied as he opened up the garage door and left.

Theo gave a sigh. "Man, he takes break ups hard."

Harry awoke to his alarm clock and groaned. Great, another day at school.

Harry and Alawna arrived at school and parted as he headed to gym. He moved towards the locker room to find a tall boy with dark hair and almost red eyes blocking the way. Harry muttered an excuse me that had the boy giving him an odd look.

"My apologies." The boy replied as he moved out of the way. "You're Harry, aren't you?"

Harry gave him an odd look before nodding.

"No need to look so surprised. I'm in art with Alawna and she mentioned you." He replied. Harry inwardly sighed, at least the guy wasn't a freak like he was thinking. "By the way, I'm Tom Riddle."

"Uh, nice to meet you." Harry replied uneasily. Harry quickly made his way to the locker that had been designated as his to avoid any more small talk and quickly changed into his gym clothes and made it onto the gym floor before the bell sounded.

"Alright, today's sport is soccer." The professor shouted. The professor had a young look about him and it was only later that Harry learned that the young man was named Oliver Wood. "Split up into teams accordingly!"

Harry found himself on the same team as Blaise, Draco, Theo, Dean, Seamus, Neville and Tom while on the other team was Crabbe, Goyle, Ron, Terry, Michael, and Justin.

Harry found Draco standing far away from Blaise with Theo standing in-between them. Harry watched the two wearingly and didn't jerk out of his thoughts until Seamus hit him lightly on the shoulder.

"Oy, Alawna asked us to keep an eye on you, so don't go getting injured." He said before moving away.

"He's an odd one." Harry replied quietly to Dean

Dean smiled in answer. "Always has been."

"Game start!" Oliver shouted as he kicked the ball in. Harry turned his attention to the task at hand, watching as Tom easily took control.

"Potter heads up!" Tom shouted as he kicked the ball to Harry. Harry quickly accepted it and was heading towards the opponents goal where Ron was waiting with a big smile, ready to block him. However, Harry was quick and got the ball in before Ron even noticed. A cheer went up from his side of the field.

Harry sunk into his chair next to Sirius at the dinner table. Alawna sat across from him as their guardians sat at the heads. Harry looked at the dinner that was in front of him and licked his lips. He loved sweet and sour meatballs with rice and tonight was his lucky night. Harry also loved dinner time because the whole family came together to talk about their days.

At the moment Remus was telling them about a funny incident at work that ended up with the water cooler exploding and soaking all the files.

Harry laughed at the story with his family. It felt good to be wanted by a family and to feel like he belonged. Harry looked between his guardians and Alawna, his kinda-sorta sister. They were a miss-matched family but they worked.

"So Harry, how has your week been?" Sirius asked with a smile.

"My week?" Harry thought back on all his classes and how Draco had kept moving closer to him and farther away from Blaise and how Seamus and Theo had kept true to their word by making sure that he was never left out. Harry had also had fun making friends with Ron who he found a good mate in. Harry had also met up with Alawna and Hermione during their off periods and the four were becoming good friends. All in all his week had been good, but very interesting with all the attention he was receiving. "My week has been interesting, we'll have to see how tomorrow turns out. I think I'm going to like living here."

"You better, otherwise we'll just have to cram happiness down your throat." Alawna joked.

"And how would you do that?" Harry challenged.

Alawna took a bite of her dinner. "With meatballs of course!"

The table erupted in laughter again.
