Sirius Black screwed up. He told Severus Snape about Remus's secret. Now, he's been expelled from Hogwarts where he is forced to take the Dark Mark and join Voldemort's side of the war. As time rages on, he falls darker and darker. Maybe he'll escape. Maybe he'll join Voldemort for good. Maybe he'll die somehow. He doesn't know. All he knows is that he's starting to lose himself in a desperate attempt to survive. Everyone hurts him and nobody cares about him. The only person he can trust is himself because it's every man for themself in the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Or Sirius Black is forced to join the Death Eaters while being helplessly in love with Remus Lupin.

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.
