What if Sirius rescued Harry before Hogwarts and took him under his wing? What if Sirius taught Care of Magical Creatures and ended up starting a Defense Against the Dark Arts club? What if Hermione chose Harry? What if Sirius reunited with someone special he thought was gone forever...and they got a second chance? Read on to find out! (Harry POV, year 1 AU, slight Dumblebashing)

Sirius decides to stay in England after escaping Hogwarts and makes protecting Harry his priority. AU GOF.

Long before Harry even knows about Hogwarts, he knows that he has "powers". He runs away from the Dursley and survives on his own. But when he is hurt and lost, his magic fulfills him his biggest wish: a family. His family, which is still alive in a different dimension. Only that nothing is ever easy with Harry and he will need time until he trusts and is trusted.

Snape, in an attempt to save Lily, created a potion that kept James and Lily alive when hit with the killing curse, but put them into a coma. When they wake up seven years later, they find themselves on a journey to fix what went wrong: to free Sirius from Azkaban, help Remus learn to live again, rescue their son from the Dursley's, and take on the world together, as a family.
