Author's Note:

     I was idly musing, one day, on the question of why Harry and Ginny gave their daughter Luna's name (just having fought with the DA back in the day doesn't really seem like enough, because then why don't they have a son named Neville?) and decided I rather liked the idea that Luna ends up being one of Ginny's very good friends – she starts dropping by the Burrow (she lives so close, after all, and she and Ginny always got on well) and gradually they become close, even best friends.

     Then I got to further pondering the kids' names, and the (valid) complaints I've seen some people put forth that they all seem to be Harry's Important Remembered People, without Ginny getting any say. This little conversation was the result…

Disclaimer: Don't own them. Just want them to be happy.

In the Wrong House, chapter 1

IN THE WRONG HOUSE (chapter 1)

Summary:

Sirius Black, Remus thought, was just as arrogant and annoying as James Potter, and he wished the two of them would stop getting into fights. Because Remus kept finding himself stepping in to stop them, and calling that kind of attention to himself was really the last thing he needed during his first year at Hogwarts.

It didn't matter if they were unpredictable Blacks or show-off Potters, or even someone harmless like Peter Pettigrew. None of these boys could be his friends, and it was time Remus started remembering it.

He didn't mind, Remus told himself. He didn't need friends.

Characters: Remus, James, Sirius, Peter and supporting cast

Warnings: None

Chapters: 7 + epilogue

Acknowledgements to:

...the one and only JKR for this spectacular sandbox. I don't own it!

...Kaydeefalls for first planting the idea that maybe James and Sirius weren't fast friends from the moment they met like we tend to assume, in "The Years of the Rat."

...Sam Starbuck for the idea that the Sorting Hat put Remus in Gryffindor because "he needed courageous people around him," in "The Sorting Hat" (part of his "Moon Meadow Anthology").

…Jules, I think, was the first I saw give James' dad the profession I've also found fitting for him, in her epic-length story "The Life and Times."

...plus whoever it was that suggested – though they phrased it far more elegantly – that Remus and Peter ended up in Gryffindor, when many would have pegged them as Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff respectively, because the Marauders were simply so very much meant to be.
