Since my first version of this story was a resounding dud, here is the new and improved version of A Gift of Understanding. My thanks to westwardlee for encouraging the changes I made.

Title: The Nicest Thing My Mother Ever Did For Me

Author: JKLB (mysid)

Rating: PG

Author’s Note: Write enough MWPP fanfiction and eventually you’ll probably succumb to writing certain key moments of their lives. I have finally succumbed to writing their first September first, but I’ve tried to make it different. Once JKR introduced us to Sirius’s family in OotP, all my previous conceptions of Sirius and James being friends before Hogwarts or hitting it off immediately flew out the window. This idea took its place. This story is compliant with both OotP canon and with my story “Choosing the Head Boy.”
