Days are getting darker, the world is falling apart, and Luna Swift is running out of options. She's been on the run for months, hiding from family and the Ministry alike. With nowhere else to go, she turns to a place her brother had guaranteed would be safe: Hogwarts. Hiding in the school, Luna prepares to sink unnoticed into the mass of students and changing halls. What she never expects though is the people she'll meet, and just how far in love she'll fall for them all. Luna doesn't want to stay hidden anymore, but with family like hers, she may not have any other option. This is the first of three books in the Girl Marauder series.

The Marauders are starting their fifth year at Hogwarts; Remus is starting with a massive scar across his face - a byproduct of the increasing severity of his furry little problem, which is a definite cause for concern despite his insistence that it it's fine. Sirius is starting with the memories of a certain morning at 12 Grimmauld Place in August: memories that he might not ever forget, yet is desperate to cloak underneath the facade that every is fine at home and that he and his parents just sometimes encounter minor disagreements. James is starting his fifth year, yes, but more importantly, he is starting phase five of his plan to woo Lily Evans: somehow his friends seem doubtful that he might succeed, but James, being James, is in no lack of confidence. And Peter, well, Peter is starting to wonder just why he puts up with these people, and if he should really be feeling sorry for Lily Evans, and maybe if he should have asked to have been sorted into Hufflepuff.
