I hope you enjoy this reading of A Marauder’s Plan by CatsAreCool (Rachel500).

Author Summary:
What if Sirius had stayed in England after escaping Azkaban—and chosen to raise Harry instead of hiding somewhere sunny?

One decision changes everything. This alternate universe reimagines Fourth Year and Goblet of Fire, diverging from canon as Sirius works to make Harry’s wish for a real home come true. Politics shift, alliances form, and the wizarding world looks very different when Sirius Black steps fully into his role.

Main Pairing: Harry/Hermione
(Additional pairings follow canon in some cases—others are surprises.)

Tropes & Themes:
Independent!Sirius, Manipulative-but-well-meaning!Dumbledore, Ancient & Noble Houses, Potter wealth and status, Super!Harry.

Content Warnings:
References to child abuse (neglect and emotional—Harry; physical and emotional—Sirius) in early parts. Later sections include references to grooming and rape/dub-con involving an adult and a minor (not Harry). Character deaths occur. Please consider your personal triggers and take care of yourself.
