It is the year 1977, and the Wizarding World of Britain is at its breaking point. It is time to finally choose sides in the war that will change everyone’s future - if any future is possible. The Dark Lord Voldemort has made his move, killing key members of both the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix to warn others of his attempt to purify the magical race. Soon the time will come for all secrets to divulge, for the fighting to shatter the world as all witches and wizards once knew it…

But life at Hogwarts remains untouched for the moment. Hatred has grown slightly more than ever before between Houses that are already at wit’s end. The relationship between the Gryffindors and Slytherins has become intensified by rumors of Death Eaters climbing the ranks to earn Voldemort’s favor, as well as the next weekend’s Quidditch match. Students want to be involved in the forces they see rising, for good or for evil, but they are still young.

With the Marauders in their Sixth Year, change seems slow amidst broken hearts and inevitable school pressures. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are causing more trouble than ever. Lily Evans is still the good girl who loves too much for her own good. Severus Snape has taken his route to the Dark Arts and hasn’t looked back.

And the rest of the world is holding its breath.

Evil is still brewing.

Who can be trusted?

Will the one you love be the one to betray you…
