A/N

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Chapter 1:
31st July 1991
'Sirius, Sirius' screamed a dark haired eleven year old boy 'I got my letter, my Hogwarts letter, my actual letter!' the pyjama clad boy came running into the kitchen running into his godfather who ruffled the boys already messy hair.
'Really' Sirius said 'funny thing is Harry, Moony and I decided to have a bit of fun, its not a real Hogwarts letter, we sent it to you' he said nonchalantly to the now horror struck boy, Sirius smiled 'it's a joke Harry, come on get cleaned and breakfasted young man' he said as Harry aimed a playful punch at his godfather, 'Sirius' the boy moaned 'lets forget me washing and lets just go to Diagon Alley now' he said but Sirius gave him a look that said don't-push-me and the boy ran upstairs huffing all the way.
Sirius had been raising his godson for the past ten years since his best friends Lily and James Potter were killed by Lord Voldemort, luckily however Harry had been at Sirius' old flat as he was babysitting him at the time, it was only later on when Remus had told him what had happened and he was nearly arrested by aurors, thankfully Amelia Bones had insisted on Sirius been given veritaserum and with that he was able to prove his innocence, Voldemort's reign of terror raged through the 1980s and many more families had either been torn apart or obliterated completely,
The MacMillans, the Changs, the Jones', the Fudges, the Stebbins' and the Sutton's had all been killed off by the mid eighties, thankfully Amelia Bones, Barty Crouch Snr, Arthur Weasley and surprisingly Narcissa Malfoy were the leaders of the ministry front and formed a united stance against Voldemort, many werewolves thanks to several treaties were now on the side of the light, though wizarding society remained distrustful of them,
Sirius to this day was still grieving for his lost friends but was satisfied when he saw Pettigrew get the dementors kiss in 1984 after three years on the run, his body thrown into the veil in the dept. of mysteries to prevent any possession of his body, it was gruesome but nothing more than he deserved.
Just then his godson came running down the stairs fully dressed and he hurriedly sat the breakfast table eating his full English,
'will Remus be joining us later?' Harry asked, Sirius smiled at him 'of course pup, but mind you slow down eating that food, you don't want a stomach ache later' he added seriously but the boy took no heed and wolfed down his breakfast, Sirius decided to floo call Remus
Remus was all dressed and ready to go when he heard a whoosh of his fireplace in the living room, he walked into the room and saw Sirius' face in the fireplace,
'Hello mate' Sirius said 'still up for meeting today?' he asked
'Of course you sly dog' Remus grinned 'how's Harry? I have his present here' Sirius chuckled 'is the sky blue Moony?' he asked 'Harry wolfing his breakfast now as we speak, pardon the pun mate' the dog winked roguishly, Remus rolled his eyes 'shall I come through?'
Sirius nodded and pulled his head out of the fireplace, seconds later on Sirius's end, Remus came through and Harry burst into the room having abandoned his breakfast 'REMUS!' he said and ran to hug his surrogate uncle, it was a touching scene, when the pair broke apart Remus took something out of his pocket and gave it to the boy – it was a piece of parchment, at first Harry looked very confused 'err, thanks Moony but why have you given me a piece of paper?' he asked, both Sirius and Remus grinned at him 'oh its not just any piece of paper Prongslet' Sirius said 'it is' he said as he opened the parchment up and he and Remus both said 'I solemnly swear I'm up to no good' and right there a map of Hogwarts appeared, Harry looked at this in awe 'we wanted to give you this in your third year, but I decided to rifle through Filch's things and I took it' Remus said, Remus was the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts and had been in that job since 1983 when the laws were changed in favour of werewolves, most of the students even Purebloods loved Remus and Harry knew he was very lucky to have him as an surrogate uncle, Harry beamed at the old marauders 'Thanks Remus' he said 'to think you guys used this with my dad' he said,
Then Sirius said 'I'll be very disappointed if you don't find a passage intp Hogsmeade before the end of your first year' he said somberly before Remus smacked him across the head 'ow Moony' Sirius whined 'come on sprog, wolf, lets get to Diagon Ally' and with that Remus dissaperated with a faint pop as Sirius held Harry close and he to apparated to Diagon Alley.
They got to the leaky cauldron where Remus lead the way to the yard that led to the Alley, Harry was itching to enter already, he'd been here before but never to get his Hogwarts things, as they went through the passage Harry immediately ran toward the Quidditch store 'oh bloody hell' Sirius said 'he'll be there for hours…Harry…Harry get back here' he shouted and with the green eyed boy stopped 'whaaaat' he whined 'come on Sirius, Moony, can't I go to the quidditch store please' he said using his puppy eyes which normally Sirius fell for 'Later, after lunch Prongslet but we have to get all your things off the list first' Remus cut in knowing full well that Sirius would fall for the puppy eyes.
Just then a bubble gum pink haired auroress in training and Harry's favourite cousin; Nymphadora Tonks came out of the quidditch store with a red haired man, she saw the trio and came over 'hello you old dogs, Harry how's my favourite little cousin?' she asked 'let me guess you here to get your Hogwarts things' Harry nodded excitedly, the red haired man - who in Harry's opinion looked like cool personified – 'My brother Ron is starting this year too, he got his things the other day, hello Professor Lupin' the man said 'Bill you needn't call me Professor now since you and Nymphadora left Hogwarts two years ago' Remus said 'but hello to you too' he replied smiling, Bill returned the smile held out his hand for Harry to shake 'I'm Bill, Bill Weasley, Dora has told me endless things about you' he said 'Harry this and Harry that' he chuckled, Harry turned around to Dora who he saw was looking at Remus in an appraising way, Bill then addressed Sirius 'And you Black taught me everything I knew about how to woo a girl or several' he said roguishly, Sirius looked quite surprised 'oh you mean you've read the Marauder handbook on how to pull a girl' he said 'I lost that in 1976, where did you find it and did it actually worked' Bill nodded, Harry was intrigued by this 'an handbook on how to pull girls Sirius' he said mockingly Remus was now unable to contain his laughter 'yes Harry you see Sirius here thought he was an expert at the subject but all his chat up lines either earned him a good hex or a good slap or a good punch from the said girl's boyfriend' Sirius looked like he wanted to die 'it was James's fault it was his idea' he said 'and besides girls in the seventies were rather prudish so clearly the eighties did girls some good if young Bill here said it worked for him' he said Bill nodded 'oh yeah it worked alright' then he turned to Harry 'fourth year in the broom closet with Ingrid Kinsella; a sixth year Ravenclaw she had the biggest…' 'Bill' said Nymphadora in a dangerous tone 'Harry here has very innocent ears I don't think Molly would appreciate you corrupting young, green as grass minds' she said sweetly, Bill paled 'yeah right well gotta go, Harry, Sirius see you around, see you later Remus' he said as he walked toward the leaky cauldron Dora held back 'listen Sirius is Sunday still on for dinner at auntie Narcissa's place?' she asked, Sirius nodded in answer to her question 'where are you off to now with lover boy' he winked, Dora suddenly became shy 'we're off to a muggle rave over in an old warehouse near Plumstead tonight, but Bill, he's just my best mate I'm currently single' she said but both Harry and Sirius noticed that she said this more to Remus than to them, Remus then coughed awkwardly 'well Dora what were you in the Quidditch store for' he asked tring to change the subject 'Oh we were just browsing I heard the new Nimbus 2000 is out now' she said 'well see you guys on Sunday she said as she ran to catch up with Bill.
'So err Moony, I couldn't help but notice that young Nymphadora couldn't take her eyes off you' said Harry trying to sound as innocent as possible, Sirius let out his bark like laugh an high fived Harry 'come on lets get this done then we can come back here later.
Harry had had the best day of his life, Sirius had bought him the nimbus 2000 broomstick, Remus bought him an owl who he had named Hedwig
And this Sunday he would be celebrating his birthday with not just Sirius and Remus, but also with aunts Cissa and Andie, uncle Ted and cousins Dora, Draco and Regina and also Sirius' new girlfriend and her daughter.
Harry fell asleep dreaming of Hogwarts, night time wanderings, getting girls and most of all – his parents
A/N: so that's chapter one of my Pridepack chronicles members of this pridepack will include Harry, Ron, Draco, Neville, Hermione and last but certainly not least Luna,
I thought I'd have Bill and Nymphadora actually enjoy
Late 80s/early 90s Muggle British culture such as raves which im surprised Vernon never complained about in canon considering PS takes place in 1991,
I'll try and update later in the week but I also have to concentrate on my other fanfic: The Third Side please review as I starve without them
