When Sirius Black was wrongfully imprisoned in Azkaban, one thing kept him comforted - the thought of his boyfriend Remus Lupin.

His godson, the one year old baby he remembers, is now a teenager who doesn't recognise him, and Remus has moved on.

Roma Carlson had a BIG secret ... a nine month secret to be precise. Big jumpers and fake illnesses might have been enough if it weren't for one thing: her highly conservative Father had just become Defence against the Dark Arts teacher and planned to keep a special eye on her. Nymphadora Tonks had a kind heart, bright blue hair (usually) and a lot of time to kill ... as well as the ability to look like literally anyone at a moment's notice. Even though it was a long shot, dire circumstances forced Roma to reach out to the eccentric Hufflepuff for help. Desperation combined with a bubbly stranger, can lead to a decent plan, right?

❝I'm afraid I'm about as cool as a rubber duck...❞ ❝ So ridiculously cool then?❞ ▬▬▬▬ Quinton Granger was very much like his younger sister, Hermione Jean Granger, well known for his studious nature among peers. However, there was a significant difference between the two, unlike Hermione, Quinton didn't possess magic. He was a muggle. Arthur Weasley has always been fascinated by muggles and their lifestyle, so when he meets Quinton one year as the older brother drops Hermione off at King's Cross, the two strike up a conversation about the function of a rubber duck. The two became fast friends and Quinton becomes a regular at the Burrow whenever his sister is invited over. Ginny is trying to come to terms with her feelings over the Boy-Who-Lived, who doesn't pay her any sort of mind outside of being Ron's little sister. Hermione gives her the advice not to pine over Harry, that she should look at other boys, although when Hermione suggested it, she wasn't exactly suggesting her older brother. It started off as letters between the two while Ginny is at school and becomes something each time the two see each other again.

❝ I swear to God, that girl's the worst thing to happen since Grindelwald.❞ ❝ She stole your seat on the train, let it go...❞ ❝ And lay off Grindelwald, he could rock your Grindle-world if you'd let him.❞ ▬▬▬▬ Aubrey should have known Saskia Cyrus was an odd one the moment an age-old gong fell from the Ministry's ceiling and almost decapitated her upon their first meeting. And that was only the start of weird things to come when Saskia unexpectedly shows up at Platform 9 ¾, decked out in Hufflepuff uniform and ready to start the year. Fred and Aubrey had always expected Seventh year to be a bit strange but throw in a new professor with a personal vendetta, a secret organisation, not to mention the suspicious breaking of Pansy Parkinson, 'a bit strange' becomes the understatement of the century...

❝So we've got Messrs Padfoot, Prongs, Moony and Wormtail ... and Madam Despa-three-toe. What the fuck, Exie, WHY?!❞ ❝My Animagus is a three-toed sloth! It's hilarious, put it on the fucking map, Black.❞ ▬▬▬▬ Nobody was quite sure how the Marauders came to be (although Exie Attia would like to take full credit for inviting James and Sirius into the group after an intense game of Gobstones). Whilst the boys had big dreams and would work days and nights to get it, Exie liked to think of herself as the mellow one especially because sometimes she literally couldn't keep her eyes open. Some people loved them, one person REALLY didn't but Exie Attia wouldn't change it for the world. With Fourth Year rolling around, Exie expected life to stay blissfully stagnant but that was just wishful thinking. After the shocking discovery that, despite sounding like the start of a bad joke, combining a narcoleptic with stressful Animagus training might not be the best idea, Exie finds herself excluded for the first time in, well ... ever. But even this might have been okay had a certain tantalising redhead not caught her eye... Yeah, Fourth Year might not go that well. [CREDIT TO JANICE SUNG FOR COVER ART]

Werewolf attacks on muggles were rare and unfortunately, muggles hardly ever lived through the attacks losing too much blood before help arrived. A bittersweet miracle occurs when muggle boy Keane Maven survives. His father is thankful for the man that appears to save his son's life after he nearly bleeds out on his bedroom floor, only nine years old at the time. However, while the case is rare in itself, it only gets stranger. Keane is to live with lycanthropy for the rest of his life, but they weren't expecting him to show signs of magic as well. Moments of accidental magic occur within the household, but Keane's name is not on the list written down by the Quill of Acceptance that writes the name of every magical child down at the time of their birth. Curious to see if the accidental magic is only a side effect of the bites, Keane is taken to Diagon Alley to retrieve a wand, a test to see if he actually possesses magic. No one really believes a wand will choose him, but the unbelievable happens: a wand does choose him. With no other choice, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts is called for a favour.
