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.

In an interview, JK Rowling once said that she thought about writing Dudley Dursley into the Epilogue with a magical child. What if she had? This is the story of Dudley's daughter, Esther. Entering her sixth year at Hogwarts, Esther is becoming sick of stereotypes. Sorted into Hufflepuff as a first year, she feels destined to be only loyal and diligent: qualities of a sidekick, not a leader. And it's her last name, Dursley, that causes the uncomfortable disconnect between her and the Potter-Weasleys without them getting to know each other at all. But as she slowly befriends the Slytherin Scorpius Malfoy and captains her house's Quidditch team, Esther has the chance to prove to Hogwarts that not only is there more substance to Hufflepuffs than meets the eye, but that all stereotypes - of houses and last names - can, and should, be crushed.

Harry Potter's godson is a bright haired metamorphmagus who roams the halls of Hogwarts like so many others before him. His story unfolds with familiar professors and new friends. Among whom is the daughter of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour, Victoire.

**SLOW UPDATES** Numinous (adj.) describing an experience that makes you fearful yet fascinated, awed yet attracted--the powerful, personal feeling of being overwhelmed and inspired. Remus Lupin is the quiet Marauder. He's sweet, and responsible, and a bit of a bookworm. So, naturally, he believes he is the least likely of his friends to find someone who prefers him to the handsome Sirius Black and playful James Potter. James and Sirius decide to set Remus up with none other than Holly Langston, a sweet, no-nonsense Gryffindor who has no idea what she's in for. But can Holly get over the fact that Remus is hiding a big secret from her? Can she truly accept who he is, especially with a powerful wizard called Lord Voldemort rising to power?
