Two days after taking Harry away from the Potters, Harry approached Remus
"Why can't you adopt me Remus?" he asked
"I'm not allowed by ministry law" said Remus, "I'm a werewolf and I can't look after children encase I bite them"
"You won't though"
"I know I won't, but there are other werewolves who have"
"Ok Remus" Harry dejectedly
"I want to adopt you but the ministry won't allow it. I'm sorry Harry" Remus said sincerely
"Thanks Remus" said Harry, cheering up.
About a week later Remus was approached by a well known wizarding family that had been mainly neutral in the war, they helped out which side benefited them most, so changed side a number of times. They were the Rockwells. Rowena Rockwell and Jamie Rockwell. They wanted to adopt Harry as a potion accident stopped them from having kids. Harry was overjoyed with his new family. They cared for him and loved him, not like his true parents. The Rockwells lived in a large manor house, with a private quidditch pitch. They also needed a groundkeeper, so hired Remus Lupin so he could be near his godson.
Harry had a large room for himself, his bed was slytherin green and silver, the rest of the room was two tone, the upper half of the room was black and the bottom half was silver. It produced a very nice effect when the moon was full. Harry had his own house elf, which he treated fairly, having been treated like one himself he knew how it felt.
The Rockwells were rich, richer than the Potters but they didn't spoil Harry, Harry got some things he wanted but had to earn the rest. He could earn the other items by studying and perfecting a potion or spell. Harry was content with his new life and couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts.
After a few weeks Harry was enrolled at a muggle school. He arrived on time and saw an empty seat next a bushy haired girl. Harry walked over and stopped next to the girl.
"Is anyone sitting here" he asked indicating the empty seat.
"No not yet" replied the girl
"Thank you" Harry said sitting down in the seat
"I haven't seen you in this class before" said the girl
"Yes my adoptive family enrolled me here after they adopted me about a month ago"
"You're adopted? Who adopted you?"
"The Rockwells" Harry replied
"The Rockwells? You mean the richest family in town adopted you?"
"Yes, you could say that, don't worry I'm not spoilt, I have to earn things I want"
"That's good, my parents are the same"
"I'm Harry Potter, soon to be Rockwell"
"I'm Hermione Granger" said the girl.
After that day Hermione and Harry became friends. That afternoon, Remus picked Harry up from school.
"Remus" Harry yelled from across the playground and raced over to him, Hermione followed.
"Good day Harry?" Remus asked
"Yep. I'll introduce you." Harry said as Hermione arrived, "Remus this is Hermione. My friend, Hermione this is my godfather Remus"
"Hello" said Hermione
"Hello, nice to meet you" replied Harry
Hermione's parents just arrived over to collect Hermione.
"Come on Hermione" said her mother
"sorry if she was bothering you" said her father
"she wasn't. Harry was introducing me to his new friend" replied Remus
"ok. I'm Dan Granger, Hermione's father, this is Jane Granger, Hermione's mother"
"please to meet you, I'm Remus Lupin, Harry's godfather"
"please to meet you Mr Lupin"
"we must be going Harry, I've still got some work to do back at the house"
"Where are you staying?"
"At the Rockwells" Remus said, "I'm the gardener and Harry is their new adoptive son"
"Ok Remus" said Harry, "see you tomorrow Hermione"
With that Harry and Remus headed back to the Rockwell Manor.
Harry and Hermione became best friends at the muggle school. Every time Hermione came round anything magical was hidden away. They both had liked to study, though for different reasons. Hermione had a thirst for knowledge, wanting just to be the brightest, while Harry thought knowledge was power.
