and Wolfgang Lupin. No one else.
Summary: This is how Harry's life might have been if Voldemort never existed.

Chapter 2: Diagon Alley
Harry, Lily, Orion, and Orion's mother, Mary, stood gathered around the fireplace in the Potters' kitchen. Lily gave Mary a small bag containing Floo Powder.
"Mary, you go first," she said.
"Thank you, Lily," Mary answered politely. She took a step into the fireplace and shouted "Diagon Alley!" A second later, she was gone. Orion went next, and then Harry. Both were good at using Floo Powder, since they had done so as long as they had been able to shout their destination. Last went Lily.
First of all, Mary took the boys to Ollivander's. Lily went to buy some potions-ingredients.
When they opened the door to the wand-shop, no one was there. Harry looked nervously around him. He turned to Orion, and smiled teasingly when he noticed that his friend was holding his mother's hand. Orion quickly let go of it, and shot Harry a look that clearly said "Don't ever mention that to anyone, or else."
Suddenly, Mr. Ollivander himself came out from behind a shelf, which was full of narrow boxes.
"Good day, Mrs. Black, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter," he greeted them.
"Hello, Mr. Ollivander," Mary answered.
"Hello," Harry and Orion echoed.
"You are here to buy wands, I presume? Then I have exactly what you are looking for," Ollivander continued. "Shall we begin with young Mr. Black?" Without waiting for an answer, he got out a box from a shelf. He opened it and handed Orion a wand. "Give it a wave!" he ordered when Orion did nothing. Orion swished it in the air. A bookshelf began to vibrate alarmingly, and fell over.
"Oh my!" Ollivander exclaimed, and Mary began scolding Orion, who looked very ashamed.
"Don't feel guilty, Mr. Black, it can be very hard to find a perfect wand," Ollivander said comfortingly, although a little dazed.
Several tries, broken windows, and other small disasters later, Orion and Harry paid for their wands (Orion's was oak, 14 inches, with a single hair from a unicorn's tail, and Harry's was holly, 13 ½ inches, with a feather of a Phoenix). Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to meet Lily and buy their books.
When they were on their way to Madame Malkin's Robes For All Occasions, they passed the Magical Menagerie. Harry tugged at his mother's hand.
"Mum, can I get an owl? Please?" he whined.
"Why do you want an owl? We have already got Betsy," Lily objected. Betsy was the family owl.
"But I want my own owl!" Harry objected. "It could be a birthday present!"
Lily laughed.
"Oh all right, get an owl," she told him.
"Yeah!"
"Mum, can I get a pet too?" Orion asked.
"Okay, but no cats!" his mother answered.
"Of course not."
The boys' fathers' friend Peter Pettigrew worked at the Magical Menagerie. He smiled at the boys when they came in.
"Hello, Harry and Orion!" he greeted them. "What are you looking for?"
"Two owls," Harry answered happily.
"Two owls!" Peter sounded surprised.
"Yeah, one for Orion and one for me". Harry decided to buy a snowy white owl, and Orion a yellow one.
"I'll name him Star," Orion said.
A/n: Okay, so it wasn't the most exciting chapter, but I still hope you liked it!
