  Summary

  ​"They are not prophecies, James. They are Records. A chronological account of a timeline that has been lived."
  ​Christmas Eve, 1979. Potter house is full of music, Firewhiskey, and the defiant laughter of the Order. But when Albus Dumbledore arrives with a mahogany case of emerald vessels, the celebration turns into a vigil.
  ​These vessels are sealed by a "Circle of Trust" locked by the magical signatures of everyone in the room. To open them is to witness the end of the war, the fall of a Dark Lord, and the life of a boy with a lightning bolt scar. But as the Marauders and their friends look into the future, they realize the hardest truth of all they are viewing a world where they are already gone.
