    Summary

    Remus shook his head slowly. “Peter was there. And I saw the body.”

    James felt his stomach drop. The body. As if Sirius were no more than a discarded shell.

    “Well, I didn’t,” James said flatly, crossing his arms. “If I had, I’d have known it wasn’t him.”

    “You were a teenager, James,” Remus said gently. “You panicked. You couldn’t have known what would happen that night. When are you going to forgive yourself?”

    ***

    In 1978, just three weeks before graduation, Sirius Black died a hero - protecting Peter Pettigrew from a Death Eater ambush. Five years later, James Potter is the only one who believes he's still alive.

    Until Sirius comes back.

    A post-Hogwarts, Marauder Era AU about missing memories, love that defies death, and the dark secrets of the Black family.
