Summary
Lily Evans turns up to platform nine and three quarters with her parents, a wand, an owl, a trunk full of clothes and books and parchment, and her best friend.
Sirius Orion Black turns up with all that, minus one best friend and plus one sibling. They pass each other on the platform at one point, Lily looking around in wonder, Sirius hurrying onto the train and out of the watchful gaze of his mother.
James Fleamont Potter does not pass either of them on the platform, because in his excitement to finally get to Hogwarts he forgets his owl and his trunk, so his father has to apparate home to get them, and James very nearly misses the train.
Remus Lupin barely even believes he's here. He spends the whole of summer ignoring the hope on the horizon- there’s this fear, tucked into the back of his throat, that if he’s too excited about it, it might be snatched away.

this may be a fix-it fic, but there's seven years and a war to go before it gets there. This is a love letter to the fandom i've been in for the longest, and so really it does deserves to be the longest thing i've ever written.
