The new normal
They arrived at grimmuald place in a sickening manner harry can only guess was apparation. "Sorry kid you get used to it after a while" regulus said.
Harry couldnt fathom how you could get used to that. He didn't have to think about it much though because just then a man with dirty blond hair and a lot of scars walked in. "Hi im remus your werewolf godfather."
"Harry your godson" harry said hugging him. Regulus laughed at the pair and sat down in a sofa. Harry just then started taking in his surroundings. "Old grimmuald definitely had better days didnt it rem?" Regulus said "How would i know" remus tried, and failed to keep the guilt out of his voice.
Harry laughed at remus who was now stuttering about something incoherent.
------------
Harry settled into his room okay with only a few belongings to his name anyway. Once harry was finished putting his stuff away one remus john lupin walked in.
"Havent you started unpacking yet?" Remus asked looking around at the seemingly empty room.
"I unpacked already i dont have many things." Harry said shrugging
It didnt take long after remus told sirius that they both agreed to go buy him new things.
When harry awoke the next mrning he was very very startled. Not only did he have the stress of waking up in a room he'd only been in once before. He also had the stress that it looked different than the night before.
It was now decorated tastefully with beautiful old furniture that had been in the black family for years. Regulus had known harry would like it after watching him for months and discovering what tsste harry had, not that harry had the opportunity to express this taste very often.
Harry walked downstairs with his hair tied up in a bun because that was something he could do now. He was also wearing dark green robes and a white undershirt with black trousers it wasnt anything fancy per say just something most young wixen would wear out.
"Hi harry would you like some breakfast before we leave?" Regulus asked
Harry nodded and started eating he had never eaten like a pig but he had always ate fast. Shortly after harry was finished remus stood up and gestured for regulus to transform.
Regulus did so and became a black cat with bright green eyes not quite as green as harry's Avada Kedevra green eyes. But similar enough due to the fact harry's dirty and broken glasses dulled his eye color.
------------
Soon enough remus, harry and cat regulus were heading towards gringotts bank.
After the adoption had been fufilled harry was now given the choice to change his name. Harry had always wishef he had a name to honour his indian heritage and remus let slip that his parents had wanted to name him hari.
He also wanted something to remind of regulus who had changed his life in such a short amount of time. At this point hari had no idea how much regulus would come to mean to him.
So he walked out with a new name Hari Black was his name.
After that things fell into a routine for hari.
He would wake up at around six in the morning and there house elf lippy would make him breakfast. Then once hari had ate by like seven thirty in the morning regulus and remus would start waking up. Whilst remus and regulus ate breakfast hari would self-study french for half an hour every day. After that hari would go play quidditch with regulus for two hours.
Then hari would do whatever he so desired for the next hour which almost always ended up extra french lessons with regulus.
Then he would cook lunch with remus for bonding time and lunch would end at noon. Then regulus would teach hari of the dark arts for two hours. After that hari would get remus to apparate him to a specific forest so he could go hiking for two hours.
Hari always had projects going so from four in the afternoon to six in the afternoon he would work on them. At six they would sit down as a family and eat dinner for an hour. After dinner hari would practice piano until he wanted to stop and he would go sketch until ten at night when he would go to bed.
The cycle repeated itself every single day. the exeptions being on weekends were remus would take him to do all sorts of cool things.
One time he went to a muggle concert.
Another time he went to a quidditch game.
It was all sorts of fun to keep thing's interesting though hari already thought his life facsinating.
Four years after regulus had rescued hari a letter appeared bearing the hogwarts crest.
Dear mr black
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry you will find the list of things you need on the list included in the envolope you may find your things at diagon alley
Sincerely
Deputy headmistress
Minerva mccgonagall
After a particularly boring trip to diagon alley(apart from the revealed fact of hari being the heir of slytherin which had all of their mouths hanging open slightly) one week later hari was ready for hogwarts.
But was hogwarts ready for him?
On platform 9 3/4 hari did not have any tearful goodbyes. he had said his goodbyes at home and did not need to have any tearful goodbyes. Hari searched the crowed for a familiar head of platinum hair.
He didnt have to though for soon he could see draco running at him!
"Hari i missed you so much!" Draco said
"I missed you too draco" hari said dragging draco towards the train.
Hari and draco found blaise and pansy pretty quickly after that and they all sat together. They were all reading envoloped in there own little worlds so the train ride passed prettty uneventfully.
