Orla Theodora Lupin has never heard the word Marauder.
She doesn't know about the map.
She doesn't know about betrayal.
She doesn't know that her parents were once part of something legendary.
All she knows is this:
Her mother died protecting her.
Her father avoids talking about the past.
And Hogwarts is waiting.
At sixteen, with fire-bright ginger hair and her mother's piercing blue eyes, Orla arrives at Hogwarts bold, reckless, and far too brave for her own good. Her younger twin siblings, Daniel and Fiadh, step into their first year beside her - unaware that their surname still echoes through the castle walls.
But it's 1993.
Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban.
Harry Potter is starting his third year.
And Remus Lupin has returned to Hogwarts as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor - finally chasing the dream he once shared with the love of his life.
Orla doesn't know Harry is the son of her mother's best friend.
She doesn't know the man the world calls a murderer was once her father's brother.
She doesn't know she's walking through a story that began long before she was born.
But Hogwarts remembers.
And this year, the past is coming back.

⚠️ Important: To fully understand Theo and Remus' relationship, history, and heartbreak, please read "Still Learning You" first.
Because legacies don't begin with children.
They begin with love.
