(Contains OC) Of course, this love story begins like almost all the others- Arielle was Fred Weasley's best friend, right beside George. And Fred did what happens in every love story. He falls in love with his best friend. Not George, but Arielle. That'd be incest if he fell in love with George, and that is greatly frowned upon. But this story has a plot besides all the love and tragedy! Arielle enters the Triwizard Tournament. And her name ends up flying out of the Goblet of Fire. But remember, this is a love story. And Fred will fall in love with Arielle and she'll love him back, and Fred will fall quickly and deeply, but events that change Arielle cause her to leave Fred falling, until he hits the ground with such force that it will scar him for the remainder of his life.

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.
