Summary: After a stressful and abusive summer, Harry is now off to Hogwarts for his sixth year. And the boy-who-lived receives a record amount of attention and a strange gift on his first day back. How will all of these things affect him? And who will he be able to turn to in his time of need?

AN: I finally got the time to read all five of the Harry Potter books. (I'm not allowed to read them.) (sweatdrop) But I finished the first three books in about ten hours altogether, if even that, and the fourth & fifth books in a couple of days. I thought the books were pretty good. (chuckles) I decided that my favorite character was Snape and favorite couple was a Snarry pairing. Go figure.

Feedback: Please and thank you. I need the support.

Prologue

Dear Journal,

Lily gave birth today to the most beautiful baby boy I've ever seen in my life. I'm afraid she had to talk me into naming him Harry James Potter. Not that I really mind so much. I just teased her about it to get a rise out of her. But in all reality, I just couldn't deny her after listening to her scream for more than six hours and I was so shocked at some of the things she called me. (Who knew that my dear sweet Lily could possibly curse like a sailor!)

Sirius and Remus were both there with us to welcome our son into the world. And after the medi-witch cleaned him up; I laughed, having spotted the thick black hair that topped him, but Lily only smiled when he opened his green eyes to look up at her so adoringly. Suddenly behind us, Remus hit Sirius with a delicate blush crossing his face when Padfoot asked if they could try for children. Lily giggled of course and I smiled supportingly.

All in all it was a terrific day and it only got better when the medi-witch finally gave me Harry. I held him in my arms as I looked down at him in awe. He was so tiny, helpless, and utterly beautiful. I knew then with a tightening around my chest that I already loved this small vulnerable being that was so dependant on me and Lily now. It was an amazing feeling.

Lily had then chuckled and held her arms out for our son. I stepped closer and gently handed him over to my dearest love. I gently kissed my wife and together we looked down at Harry as she began to bottle feed him. Padfoot and Moony just smiled at each other, watching us, and moving closer together until Sirius finally pulled up a chair and Remus sat in his lap.

That's when Peter came in. He apologized for being late, saying he had been detained, and shook my hand heartily. The two that had been sitting, stood to also welcome him. Remus smiled softly, as was his way, and Sirius clapped him on the back before bringing him closer to Lily and Harry. I grinned like an idiot as he freely admired my son, then kissed Lily gently on the cheek in congratulations.

She had smiled softly up at the youngest of our group. Wormtail nodded swiftly and stepped back to speak with Sirius quietly. I turned back to Lily and chatted quietly with her about Harry. I have to admit that I was mostly doing the talking and my beloved was the one with the indulgent smiles.

Sirius interrupted long enough for him, Remus, and Peter say that it was getting later. I looked up and was stunned to see that it was almost eight. I chuckled and bid them all good night. Lily waved to them as they left, Harry softly hiccupped in her arms in response. I stayed there with them until another medi-witch chased me out saying that I could take Lily and Harry home in the morning.

And I can't wait to bring them both home.
