Yeah isn't he sweet! Shh . . .it's a secret!

I followed the book more in this one than in the other one for the plotline of this story, since I saw no reason not to except for a few obvious changes, one of them being Harry as Sev's son and Aria Lupin.  Aria is what makes this fic an Au one, and not merely a rewrite of the original, I have had original charcters in here before and don't know why some people don't care for her...but I like her and she is a major player in this series. I made her to be family to Remus, who is always so alone, and who needs someone to love and to parent and also because I wanted Harry to have a Slytherin friend who was not Draco or any of the characters in canon.  Aria is not a perfect character by anay means, so I don't understand why some people label her a mary-sue which to me emans a cardboard cut-out with no background and no personality.

Sirus Black--Fudge still beleives Sirius is a criminal, he doesn't want to listen to anyone except himself, despite Sev's attempts to tell him otherwise, Black escaping looks bad on his record, he's a politician, and needs a big coup to get better PR and that's why the rescue is necessary, plus Severus oncehad connections as a DE, and still has that past to live down, so he's not as well-respected as you might think.  Fudge only thinks he's a hero because he brought in Black. As for Albus, he never bothered to help Sirius much in canon, so I'm keeping him the same here.  Plus it gives Severus a chance to interact with Sirius.

Harry-while he cna be mature for his age, he is also a thirteen-year-old boy, and all thirteen-year-olds go through a period of rebelliousness and testing.  he didn't test Severus before in HYA because he was still getting comfortable in their relationship and healing, now he's back at school, things are different, and he's going to push all Sev's buttons, like he did in canon.  In canon, all those kids did was get into trouble, only they were never called into account for their actions.  Harry isn't used to having a parent on staff to keep an eye on him and make him toe the line, at school he and Ron and Hermione pretty much ran wild, but he can't do that here, not with Severus and Remus.  I know it seemed like they fought every chapter, because in canon, which I was following, that was how the events played out, and though you'd think he'd behave while in school, knowing his parent is there, the sad fact is he didn't and then has to face consequences.  Some of them aren't so nice either, but he will eventually learn and he and Severus will get along better.  My nephew went through a  period like this as well, drove everyone in the family nuts with his attitude and disrespect and it happened overnight too soon as he hit the teens, until he finally relaized it got him nowhere and started to behave rationally again, almost a year later.  Harry is, in this fic being a typical teenager rebellious brat, annoying as it may be. 

In the next one, he will be much more mature, though not done getting into trouble, because he is still a teenager and they all do.  As always thanks for reviewing.
