Remus was sure he'd have to say goodbye to his friends this year, but oddly it seems they have forgotten about his secret entirely. Or, more likely, they are hatching some sort of plan to uncover it. But with a strange new Professor who seems determined to lessen his classes' prejudices, maybe, just maybe, there's hope yet-even though Remus knows it's only a matter of time they find out. However, he has bigger things to worry about. Mainly keeping his other two friends from murdering Peter, finding a way to be supportive about Quidditch to both Sirius and James, and trying to hold off Patricia's attempts to take them to the forest, which seem far too dangerous and suspicious. Oh yeah, and the Triwizard Tournament is being attempted to be held at Hogwarts for the first time in hundreds of years, though if the attempt will be successful is anyone's guess, especially since there might be a secondary reason for why some of the students from other schools are at Hogwarts. Between classes, Quidditch, tasks, and moons, Remus doesn't know how he's going to make it through this school year without slipping up, but he sure is gonna try.

The war is over, and it's time to return to school to make up the seventh year that so many missed. But there are those who won't be returning. Draco Malfoy does not want to go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That is among the few things of which he is absolutely certain. He knows the empty seats at meals and in classes will remind everyone- and himself, too- of what he has done. Draco is broken, maybe beyond repair. Guilt weighs down on him always, and nightmares chase him in his sleep. Images of the war, and of all of those who died because of what he's done, rise up in his mind, and every night he wakes up screaming and sometimes crying. If there is a way to put the pieces of his heart, soul, and mind together again, it won't be easy, and no matter what, he will never be quite the same again. But Draco's not the only one who was damaged by the war. Harry Potter is now the Boy-Who-Lived-Twice, but he's not the same anymore. He spends most of his time alone. In many ways he and Draco are the same. He is constantly feeling that he is the reason everyone died, and he has nightmares too. Memories of those he lost, who lost their lives for him at the Battle of Hogwarts, haunt him during the day. At night they scream at him that it's all his fault. Everyone worships him as the savior of the Wizarding World, but he doesn't feel like a hero. When these two broken boys come together, they will find understanding, comfort, and friendship in the most unlikely places, and maybe just a bit more.
