The year is 1976 and Hogwarts is now home to a whole new range of students, most infamously the Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew the group of Gryffindor pranksters who frequently cause more trouble than their worth, whether they are hexing first year Hufflepuffs or liberating the House Elves for the pure joy of it, wherever the Marauders go chaos and laughter are sure to follow. But the times are getting darker and a powerful wizard known to most as ‘The Dark Lord’ is gathering his army and making his demands. The world is quickly becoming a more dangerous place, Muggle-borns are disappearing from their homes, the Ministry is being infiltrated by Dark Wizards and Witches and families are being torn apart. And that means getting Lily to go out with him are the least of James Potter's worries...
Hogwarts a school which once produced the brightest and best witches and wizards has been corrupted with young Death Eaters are being created more passionate about blood purity and more volatile than the generations that preceded them. Lucius Malfoy, old money with a silver tongue and a hate for “Mudbloods". Bellatrix Black, a beautiful monstrosity whose eyes hold a malice as dark as her second name. The Lestrange twins, Rodolphous and Rabastan a pair of thugs with a dangerous talent for casting the unforgivable curses. There are some students who are fighting back, resisting the darkness with their own shining lights. Though scattered throughout the Hogwarts Houses they are united under one banner-The Order of the Phoenix, Lily Evans, singularly gifted witch, kind, charming and brave in her own way, Marlene McKinnon the feisty Scott, Dorcas Meadows, loveable and adventurous. Though nothing can be certain about the fate of the Wizarding World, 1976 is the year everything changes.
(Another fanfic idea, sorry about my long absence. I'm thinking of writing this, it's called: "The Marauders: When Legends Were Born")
