***EDIT (09/01/25) Since writing this fic I have come out as transgender, and consequently am no longer actively participating in this fandom. I have considered taking down all my HP fics, but they were actually an important part of my journey, so they will remain here for now. If you would like to show support for this author, please consider how you engage in the HP fandom. Buying official merch directly contributes to hateful transphobia spread by JKR, and this type of discourse has effected government policy, as we have seen here in the UK, as well as in other countries. If you have the time / rescources, please consider making a donation to your local trans / LGBTQ+ charity, signing petitions, or doing whatever you can to support all our trans, non-binary, and intersex friends 🖤🖤🖤 Thank you****In reference to the above, as you have probably guessed this work is now pretty much abandoned. I hate to leave a work unfinished, but right now I just cannot bring myself to write in this fandom. Plus my feelings about all the characters have changed. I might at some point add a summary of how the fic would have ended, but I can't promise anything! If anyone is interested in taking this work over to finish it off, please leave me a comment. Thank you for reading, and sorry to disappoint 🖤 *Welcome back everyone!!!Sorry it has taken a long time to get to part four. Honestly I still don't have all of the details worked out. I pretty much know how it's going to end, but I'm not 100% sure how we're going to get there! Sometimes things become more apparent after I start writing, little details will crop up, and the characters and story will tell me where to go if that makes sense?Anyway there's going to be loads of exciting stuff happening as you can imagine. A lot of the main elements of GoF will remain, and little scenes from the books and films often slightly adjusted as I'm sure you're used to with this series now. However there will be some big changes too, and further diverging from canon. As always your questions/ comments etc are very welcome. Hope you enjoy!Brief recap of the story so far:Petronella Blishwick and Severus Snape took in an abused Harry Potter, eventually adopting him. Three damaged people finding a home, and a family in each other. Using the ancient wards of her ancestral home Petra was able to create a new blood ward to protect Harry and bind their family. Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban and though the truth about Peter Pettigrew was revealed, he finds himself in a very different world than he expected, and struggles to accept Harry's chosen family.
