    Summary

    "The best memories come from bad ideas with best friends"

    December 1972 was the month Remus Lupin's friends had hoped that he could lower his shoulders. Even if it was just a little. After all, they knew. Instead, December 1972 would go down in the collective student memory as the month the First Wizarding War turned up at Hogwarts doorsteps.

    --
    Follow Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew as they become animagi; Remus Lupin as he learns that friends don't give up easily; Lily Evans as she realises that sometimes you have to let go, and Severus Snape as he discovers that you can't always have both things your heart desires.

    And follow the world beyond the castle walls as the war takes centre stage. Alice and Fabian are pushed to their limits as Aurors-in-training. Gideon learns he can't outrun himself. And Frank is faced with choices that could turn the kind, beautiful, round-faced girl he’s beginning to fall for against him. After all, how could Alice possibly love someone who destroyed her best friend’s life?

    Can be read stand-alone to part 1.

    Summary

    In the end, they died — but before being martyrs, they had been warriors; and before being warriors, they had been students. Then again, in 1976, it was hard to tell one from the other. But, before being anything else, they were simply James and Lily: two awfully temperamental and stubborn teenagers that, somehow, ended up fighting in the same side of a terrible war.

    In the end, they died, but this is a story about their lives.

    Summary

    It's 1975, and Lily Evans lives a double life.

    At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. She smokes, drinks, and sneaks out her window to go to punk shows. At Hogwarts, Lily never puts a toe out of line. As a Muggle-born, she'd never give her pure-blood classmates any reason to doubt her.

    James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.

    Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky. But the war with Voldemort is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His aging parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.

    When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. Voldemort is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act.

    But Hogwarts is not split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard. In dark times, alliances shift and secrets are revealed.

    And maybe, through it all, Lily and James will fall in love with the person they least expect: each other.

    Summary

    Christmas 1979—danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family. While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.

    Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.
