This could've possibly been Sirius Black's best yet worst idea he's ever had, and executed fully. Leaving 6th year midway was a no brainer when it came to him, for in no universe would Sirius Black ever sit and watch the world crumble.

Have you ever wondered how life was like for the marauders in Hogwarts? Or how Lily and Severus' loyal friendship took a turn for the worst? Or maybe you're more interested in finding out about how hatred turned into love for James and Lily. If the answer is yes to even one of those, this is the book for you. This is the marauders tale. I do not own, or claim to own any characters previously created in the works of JK.Rowling.
