1976. Sirius Black has a secret partner, Y/N, who attends a magical school abroad. When Y/N visits Hogwarts, Sirius struggles to keep their relationship hidden from his unsuspecting friends.
Mlm-You and Remus Lupin are secretly dating, but your religious parents would never accept it. When your friends stay at your house for Christmas, everyone has to help keep your relationship hidden.
The war is over. The castle is quiet for the first time in years, the silence settling over broken stone and grieving hearts. Second Wizarding War has ended, but victory has come at a cost too terrible to celebrate. Among the names whispered with tears are Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Against every expectation, Sirius survived long enough to reunite with Remus during the final battle. They fought side by side, fiercely and fearlessly, protecting the family they had built together. In the end, they died within moments of one another—hands clasped, having bought the future with their own lives. Their daughter is only four years old. She doesn’t understand why everyone keeps crying when they look at her. She doesn’t know why strangers keep hugging her or why people fall silent whenever she asks where Papa and Dad have gone. As far as she’s concerned, they’re simply busy helping clean up after the war. They’ll come home when they’re finished. They always come home. She waits every evening by the front door with a picture she drew for them. “They’ll like this one,” she says with complete certainty. No one has the heart to tell her otherwise. Before the battle, Remus and Sirius had prepared for every possibility. If anything ever happened to them, custody of their daughter would fall to the one person they trusted without hesitation: Harry Potter. Barely an adult himself, Harry has spent his entire life longing for a family. Now, before he’s even had the chance to grieve the men who helped raise him, he finds himself responsible for a little girl who still wakes up asking if her parents will tuck her in tonight. She’s too young to understand death. Harry is too young to know how to explain it. Together, they must learn what it means to keep living after a war has taken everything—finding comfort in bedtime stories, scraped knees, forgotten grief, and the enduring love Remus and Sirius left behind in the child who still believes they’ll walk through the door
