Chapter 1:

Harry Potter was a very happy person. At the end of his third year he and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger had managed to prove that Sirius Black, his godfather, was innocent of his crimes. As the ministry was going all out to please the ex-convict they had granted him custody of Harry straight away against the headmaster's wishes. At first Sirius and Remus Lupin, who was also living with them, were going to listen to the headmaster and agree for him to be sent back to the Dursley's but Harry told his godfather that he lived in a cupboard under the stairs for 10 years and tah dah; Desired results. Dumbledore wasn't happy but Harry didn't mind he couldn't be paid to step foot back in his personal hell. Harry was currently at Grimauld Place it looked a lot better than it did when he first got here, gone were the dark and gloomy interior now it was light and airy; a pleasure to live in. Harry walked in to the sitting room where Remus and Sirius were having a heated debate.

"Let's ask Harry." Sirius said looking at his godson.

"Let's ask Harry what?" Harry asked sitting in the squashy chair he claimed his own.

"Remus was saying that I would make a good guard dog-" Harry snorted at that and Sirius threw him a affronted look.

"Because I look like the grim and that usually scares people and I said if we wanted to get a guard dog we should get a Cerberus."

"Definitely not a Cerberus I do not want to be around another one of those, thank you very much." Harry shook his head ridding his mind of that certain memory; both Sirius and Remus looked at him.

"Where on earth have you seen a Cerberus?" Remus demanded Harry looked at him wide eyed.

"Ah yeah uh I may have met one on my travels in first year." Harry muttered scratching the back of his head.

"First year?" Sirius said alarmed.

"Tell us, thinking about it we don't know anything about your first 2 years at Hogwarts the headmaster said we would be interested." Remus said to Harry, Harry cursed mentally this was going to be a delightful conversation.

"I bet he said that." Harry said unhappily slightly pale.

"Come on pup it can't be that bad what could possibly happen in a school." Sirius said with a laugh and Harry winced, this notion didn't go unnoticed by Remus.

"We want the full version Har every detail." Harry threw the werewolf an evil look then sighed. Grabbing some floo power he called for the Burrow and stuck his head in.

"Hey Mrs Weasley is Ron about." Harry asked the kindly woman.

"Oh hello Harry dear, yes of course he is and you're lucky Hermione just arrived. Shall I send them through?"

"Yeah thanks." And he pulled his head out.

"What was that?"

"Well if were gunna do this, we might as well do it fully." Harry stated sitting down.

"Why does that not reassure me?" Remus asked and Harry just shook his head. Suddenly the fire flared and out tumbled his very best friends landing in a heap on the floor.

"Hey mate what's going on mum said we were wanted?" Ron asked and Harry grimaced.

"My ever so slightly over protective godfather and uncle want to know about first and second year." Harry said with a fake smile, Ron and Hermione paled and looked at the adults like a deer in the headlights.

"Well I'll just be going then." Ron chuckled nervously and went back to the fire.

"Ha ha sit down Ron you to Hermione, remember were in this together!" Harry said pulling the 2 down in the chairs next to him. The adults were looking at them wearily.

"Well this is encouraging!" Remus stated thinking about the grey hairs he would have by the end of this. The teens shared a look and nodded as one.

"Well it all started when…"
