Sirius Black grew up in a home devoid of love. For a long time, the only person that he loved and that truly loved him was his brother. It wasn't until he went to Hogwarts that he began to learn that family could be so much more than blood. This story follows Sirius Black through his adolescence as he discovers what it means to be loved unconditionally. He suffers at the hands of his family, but he can't bring himself to leave until his brother, too, knows that love doesn't have to hurt. Teaching him that changes everything.ora sirius-centric maraduers era fic of his time at hogwarts, where a bond between brothers is what saves the wizarding world in the end

thank you so much for reading :)so! just a few warnings. this fic will be LONG. it will span all seven of sirius's years at hogwarts and then some, and it will have a lot of black family angst. it will also have a lot of comfort. and a lot of love and growing and feeling and all of the mushy things. it does not have regulus pov, but basically everything rides on the black brothers relationship to eachother. this fic explores the possibility of what would happen if Sirius didn't leave regulus (at least not in the same manner as in canon), and how that could have changed the fate of the wizarding world. there will be cave scenes toward the end. cough cough. but first there will be sirius growing up in an abusive household and how he responds to that etc etc. there is NO MCD. and peter does not betray them (nor does he get the chance to but in this fic even if he had the chance i dont think he would have done it).BUT YEAH. please leave comments with ur thoughts :)))
