Basically, revise the first season of the Nanoha series, but it's Louise who saves Yuuno, gets Raising Heart, and defeats the blob monster. This could happen before or after summoning Saito, with each option providing different paths.
Introducing Yuuno to the dynamics changes things enough; there's another male around to act as a balance and foil to Saito in a way Guiche simply can't, giving him some well-deserved "what the Hell, man?!" chastisements. Hell, giving Saito and Guiche both those remarks.
Yuuno is naturally going to dig up information on the Gandalfr and Brimir, in addition to teaching Louise how to apply her non-elemental magical talent through Raising Heart and the Mid-Childan system.
Louise still has a valid reason to take Saito into town looking for a sword, whereupon they get Derflinger, and again, Yuuno is able to make them appreciate that find immediately.
Heck, if Yuuno met Louise first, then he might react to Saito with the same jealousy he showed towards Chrono in the original series, regarding Nanoha. Since Louise would be replacing Nanoha as the first real friend he's ever made*. Saito's lechery and magnetic harem effect would only make this worse.
And the whole time, Yuuno might be stuck hiding as a ferret, because it's bad enough that Louise and Saito know about the existence of extra-planetary mages, he's not about to compound his crimes by letting EVERYONE know. (At least, not at first.)
This doesn't preclude him from making sporadic appearances around campus in human form, so long as he succeeds in pretending to be some student's visiting little cousin.
* This is my personal canon, based on the few facts that are known about Yuuno's background.
