Chapter 2: Inertia

1. Snape

Contrary to popular belief, Severus Snape did not become a Death Eater at Hogwarts. He was inducted two days after an announcement in the Daily Prophet that read: Bourn to Mr. and Mrs. Potter one bouncing baby boy Harry James Potter was printed. James always had everything he always wanted, but never had. He would never be the same.

2. The News

Luna Longbottom had one man to thank for all of her happiness. His name was Harry Potter. When they met, no one on her own house had liked her. She was forever the strange one. Yet when Harry came into her life, he had not scorned her for being strange; he instead gave her a purpose and unknowingly the one love of her life, one Mr. Neville Longbottom. They met at D.A meetings when they were young. They connected and where planning on a relationship but the war came and stopped all of their plans. No one was surprised when only weeks after the fall of Voldemort that the news came out. They had eloped. When people asked, later in life, how she and her husband had met she would just smile and say "Harry". Most people thought she was crazy, her husband knew better.

3. Why Not?

"Why not, Draco?"

"Because, 'Mione, I could never cage you like that."

4. Thorns

'Ginny Weasley is bristling with thorns' Harry would think to himself when he looked at his girlfriend. 'Get to close and you might get pricked' He smiled as he took her into his arms and peppered feather light kisses along her brow 'Unless of course, you happen to carry shears with you…and chocolate…'

5. Lawlessness

Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were the least friendly with each other out of all the Marauders. Its wasn't that they didn't like each other, they did. It was just that their personalities were just so different. When Harry was bourn, they started to see more of each other. When Lily and James died, they didn't set eyes on each other for ten years. It wasn't until Sirius escaped from Azkaban and they met in the shrieking shack with Harry between them that they truly connected. Remus thought he could see just a bit of Sirius's lawlessness die in his eyes that night, and Remus appreciated it.

6. Knight in Shining Armour

Harry Potter was a famous child, this was true. He was also several peoples inadvertent Knight in shining Armour. The night Voldemort planed to kill Harry he also had several other "visits" planned. He is the reason Ron Weasly and Lavender Brown ever dated, if he had died, they would have as well.

7. Afterlife

Lilly and James Potter were good people in life, so needless to say they had secured their place inside the pearly gates a long time before they died. They would live their happily waiting for their friends to arrive and spend their time watching, and guarding, over their son Harry. They and all their friends, the dead ones mind you, would be floored by the arrival of one Severus Snape on a particularly nice day in June. He would smirk and tell them it was their sons fault he was their, and to punish him whenever he decided to show up. Incidentally after the shock wore off several days later they would befriend him, all parties involved were equally surprised.
