Despite his monthly issue, Remus couldn't complain about much. He has two parents who love him dearly, two best mates he can count on for anything, and a girlfriend of roughly 6 years who adores him. Everything in his life is perfect. Isn't it? But the picture perfect life of Remus Lupin is just that. An image of who he is supposed to be. Not who he is. The cookie cutter world he has always known comes crumbling down when he befriends Sirius Black. Remus must decide if he wants to remain in the safety of his world, or to live in a world with Sirius Black. A life with no control. *only 2 mature parts*

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.

Mostly Wolfstar, some Jily and Marcissa And yes, I do suck at naming chapters, what about it? And also, psa, I may be making Regulus a lot nicer than he actually was, but he's my favorite character so stfu. THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING DRAMATICALLY EDITED IM SORRY ITS WONKY I PROMISE ILL FIX IT, also, if you're gonna reread this when I'm done without knowing I ever changed it, you're really in for a treat.
