Lance is fed up. In all his years, he has only known life inside the Castle of Lions. As he described it, a prison cell disguised as an extravagant home for the royal. He longs to get away, but his newly crowned sister, Allura, won't have it. So, against her younger brother's wishes, she hires a bodyguard to keep him 'safe' inside the castle. But, the new guard turns out to be... odd. Not quite Altean, not quite Galran. Compared to Lance and the rest of the empire, one could say Keith has many strange differences. *** "So..." Allura continued, clearing her throat. Her neck likely aced from looking up for so long. "I know you're not going to like this news, but... It's for the kingdom's best... It's for your best. If something ever happens to me-" "Yeah, yeah. I'll have to step up as king." Lance mumbled. He just wanted to be done with this conversation. Whatever bad news Allura was about to tell him, he didn't even care. His life sucked. How could she possibly make it suck any more? "I've hired a bodyguard." Lance nearly tipped off the wall. He was wrong before. There was a way to make Lance's life suck more! "W-what!" He spat, throwing his arms out to his sides to keep balance. "You did what now?" *** Cover art credited to: feradoodles.tumblr.com Altea Dictionary: TICK: second DOBASH: minute VARGA: hour QUINTENT: day QUIZNAK: Altean curse word GROGGERIES: currency TELUDAV: a device which uses scaultrite from the Weblum to create wormholes.

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!

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! (Especially Year Five Part One) *** Year Five: https://www.wattpad.com/story/79015556-the-marauders-year-five

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 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.

From the moment they step onto the Hogwarts Express, the Marauder's Fourth Year at Hogwarts is explosive. Laced with friendship, love, hate, and all the emotions in between, the mysterious, adventure filled year may be the one that changes everything - at least, that's the promise of the new divination teacher...

Moony. Wormtail. Padfoot. Prongs. Their adventures were the stuff of Hogwarts legend. But there are untold stories, stories that only the four of them know. Come along and discover the true tale of the Marauders of Hogwarts... #Wattys2016
