Stealing Harry

[moonprincessnat]

Ack, I can't believe I've fallen into another fandom... *sigh* I've been sucked into the Remus/Sirius relationship, and I can't get out. Of course, most of the stories have turned out to be really depressing, so I've been especially attracted to alternate universes. Case in point--Stealing Harry by Sam shows us what might have happened if Sirius Black had been prevented from reaching Peter Pettigrew in the alley by Remus, who had taken a wrong turn. (In this case, Lucius Malfoy confronted him, instead, and was sent to Azkaban for his troubles.) Harry was still sent to his Muggle relatives for his safety, but Sirius and Remus have been close by watching over him. When they discover just how poorly he's being treated, however, Sirius takes matters into his own hands and steals Harry away. Dumbledore only agrees to allow Sirius and Remus custody, however, if Severus Snape also has a hand in his upbringing. Of course, Sirius doesn't react very well, but he does agree. Voldemort is still after Harry, so they have to be very careful, but still I think this world is less dark than the original. Love the interaction between Sirius and Remus. ;-)
