Hello Guys, for those of you who have read my stories before this is exactly what you think it is. For those who are new I'd strongly recommend that you read Changing Fates:The Potterverse before reading here as you won't really understand how we got to this point. Welcome again to another story of mine, I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing and somehow being to lazy to post anything!

Happy Readings,

Alex

Harry Potter the Boy Who Lived was a quite extraordinary boy. When he had been only one year he had defeated the most greatest and evilest wizards of all times, Lord Voldemort. Now Harry James Black-Noir-Potter or just Harry was no less extraordinary than Harry Potter the boy who lived, not really, he was the heir of three really important families, his mum was the current Ministers of Magic and Lady of houses Noir and Black, his dad was a retired auror and an occasional teacher at Hogwarts for the highest years, he was also Lord of house Black and proxy Lord of House Potter, that until Harry reached his seventeenth birthday.

You see Harry Potter was a character in children stories, he was a hero that rescued princesses for a living and defeated dark lords in his sleep; Harry was a charismatic eleven year old who was about to start Hogwarts in two days and was extremely excited to do so. His best friends and cousins Draco Malfoy and Neville Longbottom were excited too, if one were to count the rush of incoming owls to Harry's room, the Terror Triplets, as they were called in the mismatched but extended family were mischievous pranksters that were most of the time too cheeky and smart for their own goods.

Harry was currently finishing with his packing in the second biggest bedroom of Noir Manor, his home. Hedwig, the owl that his mother had bought him was on her perch watching Harry curiously as he packed and unpacked his trunk, Dopey had appeared with a food tray a couple of minutes ago and had left it on Harry's bed. Harry glared at the trunk, his mum had bought the four-compartment menace to evade Harry's current situation, and it was not helping much. Harry heard a laugh from the door; he turned to find his dad leaning in the doorframe with a grin upon his face.

"Having trouble there, pup?" asked his dad walking into the room, Harry nodded and his dad let out a chuckle.

"It won't close correctly, mum told me the basics and everything is in but it doesn't want to close" said Harry clearly exasperated, Sirius Black, his dad couldn't help but smile at he examined the trunk.

"You are forgetting something pup, your mum actually put a rune for that in your trunk, which means that it won't close until you pack what is missing" explained Sirius, Harry sighed and nodded. He tried to remember what he was missing, Sirius moved to the closet to see if he could find something, it was that or waiting until his mum came back from work.

"I packed everything, I even followed my list" Harry said, Sirius peeked from the closet with a smile on his face.

"I think I found what you were forgetting" he said walking out of it with several bags on his hands.

"The onesies?" asked Harry confused, Sirius nodded.

"Your mother had this ones made specifically for you as they don't come in your size anymore, I thought she told you they were for Hogwarts" said Sirius, Harry shrugged and packed the onesies without much fuzz, those were comfortable as hell to sleep in, Harry tried closing the trunk at the locks clicked shut once he did. "Looks like you're ready pup" said Sirius, Harry beamed at him.

"Sirius we will be late" said his mim from the bedroom as she tied her high heeled shoes, Harry was sitting next to her as she did so.

Sirius poked his head out of the bathroom "You cant rush perfection love" he said, his mum rolled her eyes and Harry giggled at his parents antics.

"See bambi this is what you get when you marry someone with way much more narcissism than you" his mum said with a smile, Sirius walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later.

"Not true pup, your mum needs to understand that this" he said pointing at himself "takes time to look like this, wouldn't want to look less than perfect for my handsome son and my beautiful wife" he said, Harry looked as her mom's eyes softened, she stood from her bed.

"Go get your trunk bambi, we shall wait for you downstairs" she ordered him softly, Harry nodded and walked out of his parent's room.

King's Cross station was buzzing with activity when they arrived, Sirius was pushing Harry's trolley while his mum held Harry's hand, he could tell that she probably didn't want to really send him off, the three of them walked through the barrier at the same time, the Hogwarts Express was there in all its scarlet glory, his mum's grip tightened a little bit, they stopped near a door and he turned to face both of his parents.

"You've grown so much bambi" his mum said as she hugged him, he hugged her back, she pressed a kiss to his forehead, something she always did since he could remember "I know you will do wonderfully in whatever house you're sorted in, I'll miss you so much"

"I'll miss you too mum" he said, he could see that her eyes were watery; his dad gave his mum a one armed hug.

"Pup, your mum and I will miss you to bits, do try to write to us every week or else I won't be held accountable if your mom storms into Hogwarts with her aurors" his dad joked, Harry laughed.

"I will write, I promise, and I'll miss you too," he said, with his free arm Sirius pulled Harry into a hug and pressed a kiss to his hair.

"Harry baby" his mum said low enough for only him and his dad to hear "Have a safe trip and if you need anything, even the most pointless thing you can think of you can always count on me and your dad, kay?" she said, she was almost crying up to this point, Harry hugged her tightly, she hugged him back.

"Its okay mum, I'll be home for Yule" he said, she laughed.

"Yule's too far away dear" she said letting go of him, she fixed his robes and straightened herself "Get in the train love, before I decide to keep you home with me until you're thirty" she said with a smile, Harry beamed at her and said goodbye once more before boarding the train.

The train was full of students, Harry kept walking until he saw two familiars faces bickering in a compartment, Harry slid the door open and walked in.

"I'm telling you, the Falcones are better" said Draco, Neville pouted and crossed his arms.

"The hollyhead harpies are a great team" said Neville, Harry smiled at his friends and sat sandwiched between them.

"They might be great teams but the Puddlemere United is the BEST team there is, so your talk is really pointless" said Harry, both Draco and Neville rolled their eyes, then the three of them cracked up laughing.

"Hey Harry" greeted Neville "What took you so long?"

"Yes Harry, what took you?" asked Draco, Harry smiled at their antics.

"Mum and dad dropped me off, she was not sure she wanted to let go of me just yet" he said, Draco and Neville nodded understanding his situation.

"Mother did the same thing this morning" said Draco "I thought Aunt Alex was going to be cool about it"

"Gran did the same too, maybe it's a woman's thing" reasoned Neville, both Harry and Draco nodded; women and girls were weird.

The three of them talked until the woman from the trolley asked them if they wanted to buy something, they bought an assortment of candy that they shared during the trip, halfway through a prefect went to check on them, then the trip passed normally, once it started to get dark they decided to put on their robes.

Harry followed Draco and Neville out the train, and when the time to get into boats arrived the three of them along with Blaise Zabini, shared a boat. Harry thought, as soon as he saw Hogwarts, that that was the most beautiful place he had ever seen, apart from his home obvious, Hogwarts was definitely a close second.

They went up a set of stairs towards a small welcoming hall, a stern looking witch was waiting for them, and Harry supposed that this was Minerva McGonagall his dad's favorite teacher, she greeted them and opened the doors to the Great Hall. The first years walked in a straight line following the teacher, Harry could hear a girl talking about how the ceiling had been charmed to look like the outside sky, she had probably memorized Hogwarts: A History, Harry mused as he walked next to Neville and Draco.

The first years were left in a disorganized line and Professor McGonagall grabbed a list and a very old hat from a stool, after the hat sang a weird song she started calling names.

"Black-Noir-Potter, Harry" she called amongst the first, both Neville and Draco clasped his back, he knew that wherever he'd end up they would be right next to him, he straightened up and walked to the stool, he sat on it as the previous students had and McGonagall placed the sorting hat on him.

'Mmmm what do we have here? Plenty of courage oh yes, also extremely smart, and there's ambition and thirst to prove yourself to your parents, I know just where to put you' "SLYTHERIN" screamed the hat, Harry smiled as he stepped off the stool and walked to the Slytherin table who was clapping for him.

A few other students joined Slytherin, when Neville's turn came Harry was strangely silent watching as the hat decided where to place his friend, it seemed that Neville was arguing the hat on whether to place him, Harry couldn't help but to smile, after a moment the Hat screamed Slytherin and Neville went to sit next to Harry, Draco joined them a few minutes later a smirk clearly on his face.

"Think of this as a seven year long sleepover" said Draco while they ate dinner, Harry snorted and Neville looked mildly concerned.

"Mum will be so proud," said Harry, Draco smiled.

"Or worried" said Neville a thoughtful look on his face; Draco and Harry shrugged.

"Aunt Alex know us better than that" said Draco, Neville exchanged looks with Draco.

"That is what concerns me" said Neville, Draco ignored him.

"Besides we have to beat uncle Sirius's record of detentions"

"Its unbreakable, uncle Sirius said it himself, Draco" Harry rolled his eyes at them.

"Mum told me once that everything is possible if one has enough nerve" said Harry, Draco nodded.

"Your mum was the same person who told Gran that every cookie was bite size if one tried hard enough" pointed out Neville, the three of them laughed.

After dinner Dumbledore gave a small welcoming speech and mentioned something about the third floor corridor being deathly, that made Harry frown, that was definitely going in his letter. The Slytherin first years were rounded by the fifth year prefects and led to the dungeons. During their walk Harry talked to both Theodore 'call me Theo' Nott and Blaise Zabini, their other roommates, Draco had pointed out that Crabbe and Goyle had been, the first sent to Gryffindor and the other to Hufflepuff, Neville reasoned that perhaps the hat was balancing out things a bit. Of course the three of them ended up sharing a room while Theo and Blaise took the other.

Before going to bed Harry wrote a letter to his mum and dad, he left it on his nightstand and went to sleep as Slytherins had a reunion next morning.
