Summary- This story does not focus on Harry Potter. It focuses on Lyra Black, Sirius' sister.
It was the year of 1981 when all hell broke to loose in the life of the marauders.
The death of James and Lily Potter took a huge toll on the life of their best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
But they were not the only one.
After Sirius had left his parents house his brother sent him a letter begging him to come and take Lyra their sister. Sirius took it upon himself and took both Regulus and Lyra from the abusive home of his parents. As Sirius living with the Potters at the time, his siblings were easily excepted in the house. Lyra claimed to Euphemia Potter that she now had three overprotective brothers to deal with. But when she met Remus she changed the number to four. The death of their brother and new sister hit them hard. Especially Regulus who was very close to Lily. Lyra was also sad but she was young too young to deal properly with death.
Sirius's younger sister did not want to leave her brother's side at all costs. She was only 9 but she knew what had happened to her brother and sister in all but blood. She did not want to think about them. She was too sad to think about anything else except the fact that Albus Dumbledore had kidnapped little Harry. She did not cry until the aurors came to arrest her brother. She cried that the real culprit was Peter Pettigrew. But they wouldn't listen. Then suddenly fire erupted out of nowhere all around the room almost burning the aurors.
The head auror looked at the little girl with awe and told the other aurors to arrange a trial for Sirius Black.
She had known all along about the charm they used to protect her brother and sister and little Harry. Nymphadora Tonks and Lyra Black were the youngest people in the marauders group excluding Harry. But they were smart all right. Sirius had himself lost the number of times his sister and cousin ended up pranking him while he babysat them.
Right now they were all at the trial with Sirius being at the center of the court and Lyra, Reg and Tonks in audience with Remus.
"Do you think they will believe him Rem?" asked Lyra
"Of course they will. They will be idiots not to" said Remus while Tonks giggled and Lyra snorted mumbling about how they were idiots. While Reg just smiled.
At the end of the trial the verdict was clear. Sirius Black was innocent and Peter Pettigrew would be searched for arrest.
"Judge I would also like to talk about custody of Harry James Potter my godson. A few years ago I took an initiative to be a guardian of my now 18 year old brother and 9 year old sister. With James and Lily's death the guardian of my 15 month old godson goes to me. But Albus Dumbledore has taken it upon himself to kidnap my godson and make him live with his magic hating relatives meaning Lily's sister Petunia Evans. As he has no right to send my godson there without my permission I would like the court to give me my right back. I have also asked him to let me meet him but he has made sure I know nothing of where he lives"
The court was shock with the declaration of Sirius about Dumbledore.
After a while they decided that Amelia Bones was to go and check on the Dursleys disguised as a muggle right now.
An hour later Amelia was back carrying a small bag and a small boy with black hair.
"When I reached I saw Harry trying to play with his cousin but he got slapped and in turn his aunt also beat him and told him he wouldn't get any milk"
Everyone was startled by the revelation and watched as Harry ran to Sirius and jumped on him.
As the two continued hugging Remus, Regulus, Lyra and Tonks came running and joined in while Andromeda and Ted Tonks watched with a smile as their little girl hugged her cousin.
At the Tonks' house
"I think I will use Potter Manor to raise these 2 and I was wondering if you would like to join me and Remus there with the kids and Reg"
After a brief argument they decided that it was no use to deny and accepted.
They would move in to Potter Manor in 10 days and had a lot to do.
A little less than a month later
It was Christmas when an owl came at Potter Manor and literally fell on the ground knocked out.
"What the..." said Sirius while Remus now held the crying Harry in his arms.
He quickly went to look at the owl and saw a letter in his claws which was from the Weasleys.
He opened the letter and read...
Dear Mr. Black,
Hope you are having a good Christmas. My husband and I were wondering if you and the other members at the Potter Manor would like to join us at our home on new years.
We have seven kids. The oldest is Bill, then Charlie (I think your sister and cousin are the same age as him), Percy, the twins Fred and George, Ron(same age as Harry) and Ginny our newborn.
We hope you say yes.
Love,
Molly Weasley.
"So what do you think Andy?" asked Sirius to his cousin as she was making breakfast.
"I think we should go. God forbid but those kids need to be around their own age kids for a while. I mean yes they have you but they do need actual kids around them"
Sirius, Remus and Regulus all looked at Andy betrayed.
"Hey!! Why am I getting roasted? I am only his brother not a part of the marauders" exclaimed Regulus while Andy smirked.
"And who may I ask changed my lovely daughters dress pink?"
Nymphadora hated pink except when her hair was of the same colour.
Regulus turned red and looked at Andy shamefully.
New year's
At the Weasleys
The residents of Potter Manor were currently outside the Weasley house waiting to knock.
Sirius knocked on the door and heard a bunch of animalistic footsteps.
The next moment the door opened and they all saw bunch of red head kids.
"Hello. I am Bill. Welcome to the Burrow" He said grinning while a boy next to him waved and grinned at them.
"Come on in. I am Charlie by the way. The one with the book is Percy. The two identical ones are Fred and George. And my little brother Ron is currently with my mother and newborn sister"
Charlie looked and Lyra and Tonks waved for them to follow him.
A while later after everyone had settled in the sight beautiful.
Charlie, Lyra and Tonks were on one side of the room playing and talking and laughing.
Bill could be seen talking to Regulus.
Andy, Ted, Molly, Arthur and Remus were talking sitting on the sofa. Though Remus was getting bored and decided to join Sirius who was sitting with the twins and playing with them while Harry and Ron were right next to them playing with each other.
Little Ginny was on her mothers lap and was staring at everyone.
This gathering made a new family known as the Wealseys-Blacks-Tonks-Potter family.
And a friendship that would never be broken, they were the first ever trio with the members being Charlie, Lyra and Tonks.
AU- I am not really going to be briefly explaining any part of the story, It is going to be just important parts of the new families life and later on I will post the life of Harry Potter within this universe though the main focus will be Lyra Black.
