**COMPLETED** Cover made by @siriusblackisgreat ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️: All original characters owned by J.K. Rowling. The only thing I own is the plot. Set in the time of the Marauders, Hogwarts has never seen a group such as the four friends who met by chance. Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew meet on their way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their first year along with Lily Evans. Follow them through their years at Hogwarts, including their struggles, their love lives, and their pasts. *This is my take on the Marauders based on what's in the books and articles on them*

Harry Potter is five years old now, though he does not look it. He looks more like a small four or three year old. But, that's not the end of it. The fact that none of his neighbors know he exists, that he sleeps in a cupboard, even that his parents are dead, is not the end, nor the worst of it. No, the worst, is his uncle. The reason he doesn't speak, look at anyone, barely even breathe. Each night, he hopes for someone to come and save him, but they never come. No matter how hard he wishes, how hard he hopes, it seems he will be stuck there forever, or until his slow, agonizing march to death ends. One night, after hoping and hoping, he starts to realize he will never get saved, helped, even comforted, for his entire life. What if he's wrong, and what if a certain Slytherin can heal this broken child? What if, in turn, this broken child can heal him? THIS IS NOT SNARRY!! If that's your thing that's fine, but HARRY IS FIVE IN THIS FANFIC!! NOT SNARRY!! Do not repost on any other website/account without my permission.

Albus Potter is a lonely, cold boy when he joins Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Until he meets the Malfoy boy. As the neo-Death-Eaters start to re-emerge and the Ministry takes an extreme approach to wizarding politics, Albus finds himself at odds with his father, his family...and even the love of his life.

(popular albus x nerd scorpius) it's not scorpius's fault he's in love with albus potter. who isn't? as for albus, well, he's just trying to figure out why he's so enamoured by the quiet, slightly anxious nerd he was partnered with in potions class. based on a request i got on tumblr :)

Albus Severus Potter is the star of the Slytherin Quidditch Team. He's incredibly popular and well-liked. Although his grades aren't the very best, he's still a star student amongst the teachers. Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy is a geeky yet totally adorable Slytherin. He spends his time reading in the common room, or chatting with his best friend Rose. Rose Weasley is tired of Scorpius being angsty and moping, so she shoves a book into Scorpius's hands, hoping it will help with Scorpius's massive crush on Albus. The name of the book is simply: How to Get a Boy to Like You. It was a step-by-step book. And Scorpius planned on following every step. - Cover made my bud Julia(@tato-and-stringbean) -
