This is a sequel! To avoid spoilers to Star of Gryffindor, please read that before reading this! Astra Lewis and Albus and James Potter are back at Hogwarts, this time for a (hopefully) much less dangerous year. But after Wren Predatels's shocking betrayal, Astra is having a hard time. Albus and James seemed to have moved on all right, but for Astra, it's different. It's a very hard thing to find out your first and closest friend was never really there for you. Not to mention all the changes going on. With a new Ministry-appointed headmaster, things are being run a bit differently. There's a clingy, annoying first year who instantly latches onto Astra, but gets sorted into the wrong House. And, Astra's nightmares are getting worse, driving her roommates insane. Not to mention the strange new girl, a transfer from Beauxbatons, who not only seems mysterious, but is apparently interested in the Dark Arts. All of this pales in comparison to the attempts to kidnap James. Astra and her friends are wary of everything now, but somehow, someone is slipping past their defenses...

--Year 1-- Albus never thought he had to live up to his father's victory over the darkest wizard of all time. But when mysterious events start occurring at Hogwarts, Albus feels he's the only one who can stop it. Note: I am not J.K. Rowling!!!! I am human which means I AM NOT PERFECT!!!! This story is definitely not the way that J.K. would have written it so if you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!!! It's as simple as that. I used info about life at Hogwarts after the war from multiple websites and, of course, from the epilogue to make to as accurate as possible. I hope y'all enjoy what I've written. ~Mo Current cover by @FrostedRaven ***Character Submissions are CLOSED***

The next day, soldiers recapture the convict while he is engaged in a fight with another convict; the two are returned to the prison ships from which they escaped...

The novel depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period. It follows the lives of several protagonists through these events. The most notable are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Darnay is a former French aristocrat who falls victim to the indiscriminate wrath of the revolution despite his virtuous nature, and Carton is a dissipated English barrister who endeavors to redeem his ill-spent life out of his unrequited love for Darnay's wife.

Someone is targeting the students, and no one knows who the attacker is, or what he wants. Will Astra and her friends, Albus Potter and Wren Predatel, be able to stop him?
