    Summary

    This series started from a simple idea that has become a popular theme since the release of the new Fantastic Beasts film.
    Specifically, what if the Dursleys' abuse (which everyone agrees is canon, at least to some extent) led to Harry becoming an Obscurial. Given that jumping off point, I decided to explore the consequences of this notion. In this case, things kick off well before Harry reaches Hogwarts age with the emergence of the Obscurus in Part 1.

    Part 1: Unexpected Consequences is complete. It covers Harry and Sirius' initial reunion in 1985.

    Part 2: A Tale of Two Letters is complete. It takes place six year later, in the summer of 1991, and covers the Hogwarts invitations and the realizations that come in the aftermath of those letters' delivery.

    Part 3: Irregular Homecomings is complete. It takes place starting in the summer of 1994, and is the events of Goblet of Fire in this universe.

    Part 4: Appendices are reference notes for the series. Each chapter is independent, and chapters are posting periodically.

    Summary

    Part 2 now in the works - 'The World Turned Upside Down'

    “I won’t ever really know them. Know him. Not like I was supposed to.”

    As they sat in the quiet room, a deep sense of longing enveloped Hermione. She couldn't shake the thought that there had to be more for her best friend than just this. The Blacks had their entire history held within these walls– stories, secrets, heirlooms. Harry’s family had been a strong pureblood line, his connection to Deathly Hallows proved that. Obviously Godric’s Hollow was gone, but perhaps she could track down Potter Manor in the Hall of Records?

    The weight of his suffering was too much for her to bear. She wasn’t going to let him down. Somehow, she’d find a way to tell him their stories.
