Summary
“It’ll take some time to get it right,” said Remus, rubbing at his eyes, “and I probably need a N.E.W.T.-level charms book. In the meantime, what do you reckon the password should be?”
James cleared his throat, raising a hand in grave salute as if he were being sworn in as Supreme Mugwump. “How about, I, a veritable Marauder of the highest order, solemnly swear that this most troublesome artifact shall be used in the name of highest mischief, until which time said mischief has been managed.”
Remus gave James a bemused look. “You think the password ought to be, I, a Marauder, solemnly—”
“I, a veritable Maruader of the highest order,” James corrected.
“All right, you think it should be, I, a veritable Marauder of the highest order, solemnly swear that… er…What was the rest of it?”
“What a stupid password,” Sirius interjected before James could offer Remus the rest. “How about just, I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
“Fine,” said James begrudgingly, “but we need a password to clear the map off, too. How about, I hereby proclaim that—”
“How about, Mischief managed,” Remus interrupted.
James frowned. “I dunno…where’s the ceremony? Where’s the flair?”

Summary
“Well,” Remus says quietly, “you don’t let people know you."
“And you’re saying you know me?” Sirius drawls, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the only one?”
The half-arsed derision in his tone doesn’t seem to surprise or intimidate Remus. He only smiles, knowing.
It is one thing to love a person; it is quite another to see them as they truly are and to love them all the same. And sometimes, Sirius thinks, he’d rather die than let anybody see beneath the defensive facade of his brave face.
From 1971 to 1978, the Hogwarts years of obsession, betrayal, recklessness, lies, too much drink, insecurity, and all eclipsing sexual frustration. Seven years of Sirius Black’s insufferable god-complex, of Remus Lupin’s most private shames, of secret relationships, awkward hookups, James Potter’s blunt advice, and more yearning than sense. Seven years for Sirius to finally admit to himself that what he wants is not only to be loved, but to be known entirely. And therein lies the difficulty.

Summary
The Battle of Hogwarts was meant to end the darkness. Instead, it shattered everything. Harry Potter is dead, and in his final act, he transfers the full force of his magic, his power, knowledge, and the remnants of Voldemort’s destruction into Hermione Granger. With it, she defeats both Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, ending the war at a devastating cost. Friends, family, and the life she once knew are gone, leaving her alone in the ruins of victory. Hailed as a hero but hollowed by grief, Hermione returns to Hogwarts to finish her education while struggling with the weight of her power. She becomes the guardian of Teddy Lupin and, refusing to remain bound to the past, travels the magical world to study ancient magic. But power leaves traces, and as the secrets of the Deathly Hallows unfold, Hermione is drawn into something greater. When she and Teddy are pulled into the Marauders’ era, she must decide: is the future fixed, or can it be changed?
