With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress.

But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.

As he returns to Hogwarts for his eighth and final year, he learns to love again and to navigate the twists and turns of the teenage life he was robbed of. In this age of rediscovery and rebirth, the world will find a way to repay Harry in a way he never anticipated. But even if Lord Voldemort is defeated and Death Eaters vanish, evil is never fully eradicated. Hidden away, the Gryffindor family lives on.

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs certainly feel quite accomplished after completing what they dub as the Marauder's Map. A map designed to show every classroom, hall, corridor, and even secret passageway of the Hogwarts Castle but also capable of identifying every person, ghost, and poltergeist roaming about. Or so they thought. It takes Elspeth Hayes casually strolling down the corridor one afternoon for the boys to realise that she's not showing up on the map and they want to figure out why. But Elspeth is not about to give away her secrets so easily, after all, a girl has to have her secrets to keep the boys on their toes.

It's been quite some time since the two have seen each other face to face and it is not a happy reunion, especially on Tegwen's behalf.
