"You're just a spineless, big-headed, moron Potter. Why on earth would I go out with a fleabag like you?"

"It's just, James Potter!" says Sirius, leaning casually back in his chair, "Beaten by a girl!"

"So you're back?" he smiles knowingly at her from the hospital wing bed.

Hogwarts. The year, 1976. Before Harry Potter. Before Voldemort was defeated. Before the Second Wizarding War. Before the Marauders, Lily Evans, Severus Snape and so many others had died. This is back in the school days, where life may be seen as simple, yet growing increasingly complicated, choosing paths that will change their future. Choosing their sides. And not all will be on the same side.  

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

This is my take on what could have happened during the time of the Marauders, Lily, Marlene , Alice and Snape. Watch out for mystery, arguments, unrequited love and choices that can make or break relationships during the fifth year of Hogwarts for these characters.

I have tried to connect my head canons with the little we have about the Marauders. This is my first ever book so any comments, votes or ideas to improve are greatly appreciated. 

Anyway enough of me rambling, if you've read all the way down here, um thanks, you might want to actually open the book now... and yeah. 

I hope you enjoy it!

13 parts Ongoing
"Oh Lily, you really are amazing, you know that?" Lily sighed, same old James he was probably going to ask her out again in 3... 2... 1.... and... Nothing. Huh, she thought to herself, maybe he really has changed. James looked back at Lily and grinned, she quickly looked away and his face fell. I need to get her out of my head, he thought, she doesn't like me anymore, end of. No point in going after a girl who hates you anymore, who knows how much time we all have left. The door opened, and they both looked up. Prefects started filling the room, ready to start the new school year. Lily smiled professionally and James mimicked her, greeting and congratulating the other students. Before Lily started to speak, she took a last glance at James. He smiled slightly, his small dimples made him look so innocent and adorable. She breathed in and looked down at the paper in front of her, one thought protruding out from the rest, I will not fall in love with James Potter. --- In their final year at Hogwarts, Voldemort is on the rise, luckily though, Hogwarts is still safe... mostly. James and Lily are finally civil but Lily finds herself feeling something more that she can't keep denying. Remus is drowning himself in school work, blaming the upcoming NEWTs, but Sirius isn't convinced, could there be another reason for his constant avoidance? Meanwhile, a new arrival in school has easily made friends with all her fellow Gryffindors... except Marlene: determined to befriend the newbie, Marlene insists on spending more and more time with her. There could be more to all these friendships, but with the stress of NEWTS and a potential war on the horizon, will love blossom, or is it too dangerous to keep loved ones close? Mainly Jily, but wolfstar and Marlene x fem!oc slowburn fluff as secondary love plot lines :)

"You know what happens when stars collide? They make a black hole. That's us. And we will suck everyone into nothingness until there is nothing left to do but be sucked in ourselves. Don't set yourself up for destruction" - The first wizarding war is on the rise and no one safe. It kills everyone in its path, including the parents of Estella and Sadie Cullen. The girls are forced to leave their home and move to France with their grandmother where Estella faces her first year as a student at the Beauxbatons Academy. Fast forward five years and her younger sister Sadie is ready to start her journey as a young witch. In the blink of an eye Estella's world transforms around her as she moves back to England and now attends the school in which her parents met: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Estella is an exceptional student, never getting below an Outstanding on an exam, but will a certain boy with grey eyes change all of that from the moment they meet? Rumor has it he's trouble, but that might be just what Estella needs. With him and his friends, this seems impossible to avoid. Will her time at Hogwarts bring her courage and friendship, or will it reveal memories and secrets so dark they will change Estella's life forever? The world is a scary place, but with friends by your side anything is possible. "It's settled then. The last Marauder left standing wins."
