Good story. Interesting premise. I’m not a big fan of extremely short chapters but I was prepared since I can do division.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.

I love this concept, I love this story!
HARRY POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK HOW DARE YOU BE SO ADORABLE!

What! WTF!

Poor Sirius! And Harry Potter is in Azkaban; now what?!

It's too bad you didn't write a sequel. This story has a lot to resolve! I will look to see if anything was done in the intervening 15 years. If not - well it was a different take on the story. I liked it.

Nothing like a chapter point that makes a reader grimace.

Wow, the first paragraph of this story is really tripping me up. Between all the this's, that's., and though's. Definitely losing the subject of the sentences here. I'd recommend overlooking the tenses in the beginning of this story.

I can tell you're an amazing story teller but this chapter needs a bit of revising. There are several words that are excessive to the sentence and with a bit of rearrangement will improve how the story and dialogue flows. I'd especially recommend cutting back on a few of "that's".

As this story has been written over ten years ago, this advise might be super outdated.

So was it Voldemort’s souls that was sucked out by the dementors instead of Harry’s. Is that why Harry seems to be ok and now remembers his mom and feels safe.

Hermione lying about seeking out the Troll is another thing I've never understood. All she had to say was, "I stopped into the restroom on my way to dinner. Harry and Ron knew I wouldn't know about the Troll, so they came to grab me." Yes, it's not the truth; but it wouldn't have cost Gryffindor points, and it wouldn't have ratted Ron out as the cause of her being in the restroom in the first place. That lie was ridiculous.

Poor Sirius. I do hope he tells Moony about Ron's rat possibly being Peter.

"You didn't think I was just going to rewrite all of that, did you? No." Thank heavens. I'd much rather read something new and exciting.

Remus kind of put his foot in it when he tried to look at the book of drawings. He would have freaked if he'd seen Sirius and the Dementors. Honestly, I think I would actually have told Remus. After all, the fact that Harry had lived safely with Sirius for 7 years - and loved him so deeply he really wanted to go back to Azkaban - should tell any intelligent person that the things they thought they knew simply don't add up.

I have NEVER understood why Professor "Everyone Deserves a Second Chance" Dumbledore didn't even think Sirius deserved a trial! Not only that, either. Why on earth would Dumbledore, of all people, not want to talk to Sirius to find out what caused his so-called change of heart? Shouldn't he want to know ... unless he already suspected the real truth but simply didn't want to deal with Sirius as Harry's guardian. Well, that's my take. I stopped liking Dumbledore - whom I once thought was wonderful - once I really began considering his treatment of Harry and Sirius throughout the series.

LOL at Harry's shampooing method. Old habits die hard, I guess.

Harry nearly slipped when talking about bedtimes. He DID slip and call Remus "Moony" when he was half asleep. Perhaps that is when Remus will decide to seek answers, especially now that he knows Harry seems to welcome some physical contact while falling asleep. He can sit on the bed and card his fingers through Harry's hair as he falls asleep, maybe telling him stories about the Marauders. He might try slipping innocuous questions in here and there, when Harry's guard is down. (It's what I would do, but then I am very sneaky.)

"Unless she was FORMERLY presented with clothing, she would do her best not to be offended ..." I think your auto edit struck again. This should read, "Unless she was FORMALLY presented with clothing, she would do her best not to be offended ..."

FORMERLY means "in the past; in earlier times." The word you need is FORMALLY, which means "officially; in accordance with rules of convention or etiquette."

I like Peachy. (I can't wait until she meets Dobby!) She's smart, and she doesn't take any nonsense. I do hope Harry stops the self-inflicted punishments when he realizes what is happening.

"... the human guards that made their rounds once every two months (ever since they discovered Sirius still sane)." I hope Harry's exit from Azkaban doesn't send Sirius over the edge. Harry's mind shield helped Sirius, as well. Without it ...? ** sigh **

I like Peachy. She is onto nosy old Headmasters, I think. I wonder if she will tell Remus about Sirius and Harry. It might help if Remus knew about Peter, as he would be able to recognize him when he sees him with Ron ... maybe. This definitely should be interesting.

That reminds me ... Could Peachy pop Harry to see Sirius? It might help if he knew he could visit sometimes.

Albus really does live in his own head, doesn't he? He sees what he wants and expects to see. And if he doesn't, then the person in question is Dark ... or going Dark. Albus has difficulty believing himself capable of making a mistake, and he is incredibly arrogant with all of that Greater Good cr*p.

Who the heck is he to decide what is right for every Magical being in the world? I really hate this attitude, especially as he never quite says exactly what this Greater Good actually IS ... what it looks like "in action." My guess? It's Albus ruling benignly (in his mind) over all and making everyone's decisions for them, as he (in his mind) obviously knows best for everyone. **VERY LARGE razzzzzzberry**

"Cats, well, Padfoot would rather chase them then be friendly with them." Should read, "Cats, well, Padfoot would rather chase them THAN be friendly with them."

THAN is mainly a comparison word. Some examples:
"I would rather swim THAN play hockey." (often used with "rather" to show a preference)
"He's much taller THAN I expected." (shows a difference or discrepancy)
"Ron is taller THAN the twins." (comparison)

THEN is usually used as an adverb and generally has to do with time, sequence, in addition, or showing a consequence. Some examples:
"I lived near the beach back THEN." (at that time)
"First we saw a movie, and THEN we had dinner." (next in the sequence or order)
"Tuition is expensive enough, and THEN there are textbooks." (in addition)
"If the traffic is heavy, THEN I might be late." (consequence)

(Sorry to "go English teacher" on you, but you know what "they" say: Old teachers never die; we just lose our class.")

I thought Harry looked uncomfortable enough at being in unfamiliar territory with so many people. He is probably also missing Sirius terribly. He was realistic as a slightly disoriented kid trying to be brave. I'm sure there will soon be plenty of opportunities for being truly afraid.
