What I imagine to have happened if Sirius had actually had a trial and was able to go free. Takes place from November 1981 to April 1982. There are also sequels.

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.

PART TWO OF THE MARAUDERS ALWAYS - read only after you've completed Years 1-7, Order of the Phoenix 1-3 and Always Part 1.

Gone are the carefree school days, as a new era begins in the lives of the Marauders. Voldemort's powers are ever increasing and the days are getting dark for all the wizarding world. James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, along with their friends, will discover all of the hopes and fears of fighting - not only against the dark magic of the rising regime, but also against the trials and troubles of becoming grown up.

Join the Marauders for their final months at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they fight for their friends and family, revise for their NEWTS, and make the crossing into the next chapter of their lives.

The Marauders' final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. From surprising changes in staff to a Christmas holiday moment you've all been waiting for, Year Seven will be a year of beginnings and a year of endings, a year in which the entire future may be decided -- and not just by their N.E.W.T. scores!

The second term of Year Six will include an adventure unlike any the Marauders have had before... it'll be all hands on deck before it's finished.

The summer of 1976 was hotter than hell and full of new adventures and experiences... from beaches and boyfriends to motorbikes and castles, the Marauders have a summer to never forget... But Year Six will come with some interesting twists - new people at Hogwarts, and old ones conspicuously absent... a new Defense Against The Dark Arts professor who may prove to be the most mysterious yet... Will this be the best year ever? Only time will tell.

The second half of the Marauders' Fifth Year has already started with a ton of excitement - but the year is not finished yet. As the Ministry continues the hunt for Harold Minchum and the cave in which he is suspected to be concealed, the Marauders grapple with coming to terms with their own losses and changes... *** This is a continuation of The Marauders series, be sure to read the others before reading this one!

The witches and wizards at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry are gripped by fear - fear of the Dark Lord, fear of political unrest, fear of passing their O.W.L.s! After a long summer, James and Sirius have taken it upon themselves to bring comedic relief to the castle -- and it's up to Remus (and his new shiny Prefect's badge!) to keep them in line (yeah right)... But it's not all fun and games about the castle as the Marauders discover there's something mad about the new Minister for Magic -- and it's up to them and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix to set things right!
