After all these years, Harry's convinced that a mundane year at Hogwarts is simply a myth-what with the DADA teachers playing assassination roulette (apologies, Professor Lupin), murderers on a first-name basis (no hard feelings, Sirius), and accusations so cliché they could use a good editing session.
And just when he thought he might catch a break, his name decides to leap into the magical goblet for the Triwizard Tournament, no consent required-because who needs consent in the wizarding world, right?
But fear not, because for the first time Harry's not alone in the middle of the circus. Two flame-haired twins bursting with more creativity, mischief, and a dash of insanity than ought to be legal, have seen to that. Thank Merlin for them, because amidst homicidal maniacs, overprotective godfathers, and a never-ending barrage of assassination attempts - he also needs to deal with the the crushing weight of the wizarding world's expectations.
As if that weren't enough, he's also navigating a tidal wave of emotions stirred up by two amber-eyed tornadoes in human form.
Merlin's beard, where was a bottle of Firewhiskey when you needed one?
"They held you. Without question. Without reason beyond love."
"Come back to me."
Entering your fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry should have been nothing more than preparing for your O.W.L.S. If you knew anything about the Weasley twins, you knew your year would be anything but quiet. Throw in Quidditch, a Tri-Wizard tournament, a ball, and the return of The Dark Lord, how will you handle what life throws at you? You won't be alone though. With the golden trio always there to lift your spirits, and the twins endlessly by your side, you feel you can get through anything. But what happens when a prospect, or two, completely upend your life? Will you take a walk on the wild side with the twins, or will the hardships and sorrows of the year succumb you to darkness?
