    Summary

    “Time may change me, but I can’t trace time.”

    Fifth year starts like any other.
    James Potter wants Lily Evans. Sirius won’t speak to his brother. The war outside the castle feels far away—until it doesn’t.

    Regulus Black is quiet, cold, calculated. The kind of boy James should ignore.

    But something shifts. A glance lingers. A line blurs. And James begins to see things he’s never let himself see before.

    This isn’t the story he thought he was in.
    And it won’t end the way he expects.
