«Yeah? By who?»

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
(Galatians 5:22-23)

1977

After spending her entire life perfecting herself, James' sister loses touch with reality. The lessons her grandfather taught her on paper seem to make sense, but when she comes face to face with the little girl she thought she had forgotten, she finds herself having to completely reset her knowledge.

Sure... If Sirius Black would just get out of the way, it would all be easier. But she still has her final year at Hogwarts to achieve her goal.
