Disclaimer: I do not own anything that you recognise only a few things are mine. Plus I make no money off this if I was JKR I'd be too busy writing book six to do this.

I'd also like to say now that this story is dedicated to Katie, rest in peace for eternity hun

Friends Forever, Maybe Not

Everyone has heard of the story of Harry Potter, but this is not his story. Have you ever wondered about his parents, about their families, past, what they were like in school and how they got together?

This is their story, the story of a monster, a traitor, a friend wrongly judged, a muggle born and a fighter

Like everything their lives were planned for them. Some by their parents and some by Fate itself.

It was a cool October morning when the Blacks found themselves holding their first-born son Sirius. He was what they thought to be perfect. His entire life was now planned out for him he would be raised with other pure blood wizards, would go to Hogwarts where he would be a Slytherin and then marry into a pure blood family with the same beliefs as them. He would then join the ministry in a high important job that involved sitting at a desk for hours doing hardly any work.

Months passed and soon it was January, a young couple were looking out at the snow while holding their newborn son. This was a joyous occasion for the Lupins as they held baby Remus close. They had no idea what his future would bring but as long as he was happy they didn't care. They would raise him to be kind to others and to never judge people.

More time passed and so the snow melted and was replaced by the March rain. With the rain came the birth of James Potter, to his parents' happiness, who had been trying for children for years. His parents' very much like the Blacks had planned out their son's future. He would be raised with wizards who cared for everyone and then go to Hogwarts where he would be a Gryffindor and then he would marry a good woman who he loved and who loved him back.

These three boys had something in common, they were all part of the wizarding world. Yet in the Muggle (non-magical) world, someone was being born who would have a large part in they're lives. In the month of May a girl was born by the name of Lily, the younger child of the Evans'. Her parents had decided she would go to school, and then marry a decent man who could look after her. They were the kind of people who believed that only men should work.

Now one more person was yet to be born and it was a warm sunny June day when Peter Pettigrew was born into the world. He was the joy of his mother's world she dotted on him. She wanted him to grow up to be loved and a decent man.

All five were destined to meet and to be friends, although that comes later in the story.
