-Before Harry, there were James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Marlene and Dorcas... But we know so little about them.- James Potter is a reckless and mischievous boy. Put together with the rest of his new friends, Hogwarts won't be able to escape the long series of pranks that follows his arrival. Sirius Black is sorted into Gryffindor. He must learn that he is not his family and to stand up to his pure blood, prejudiced parents. Remus Lupin has a secret. Every month, he painfully transforms into a werewolf, and he is constantly worried his new friends will discover the secret he hides with his life. Peter Pettigrew is clumsy and never had many friends. When he meets his new friends at Hogwarts, he is quick to find a place with them and their fun. Lily Evans was never quite normal. She can do things other muggles can't, and when she goes to Hogwarts with her best friend, Severus, she is ecstatic. Severus Snape knew, and hoped, that he'd be sorted into Slytherin. He was hoping so would Lily, and he couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts with her. Dorcas Meadowes is a bright and optimistic girl. With her on their side, Dorcas's friends should almost never feel discouraged. Marlene McKinnon isn't scared. She will will do what she must without hesitation, but she should know her limits. While James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter are wreaking havoc, Lily, Dorcas and Marlene are receiving mysterious notes and clues that are seemingly vital for the future of the wizarding world. Can they figure out what is happening? And how to help stop it?
