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.

‣ ᴡɪɴɴᴇʀ ᴏꜰ @ꜰᴀɴꜰɪᴄ "ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴄʜᴏᴏʟ" ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇꜱᴛ When two troublemakers get together, what could go wrong? ━━━━━━━━━━━ Sirius Black and Gwyn Reich are a pair of troublemakers, always bickering and causing mayhem. After a Quidditch commentary and a bit of blackmail, the two are forced to act as a couple, leading to the admittance of feelings and the discovery of secrets.

Sirius Black told Harry that there were four Marauders. He told Harry that his best friends in school were James, Remus and Peter. He told Harry that there were three unregistered Animagi at the time he was at Hogwarts. He lied. There was another, only one other, who Sirius never mentioned. Perhaps because they had a falling out... perhaps because something happened to her. Rowan Mulciber is the missing Marauder, and this is her story.
