It's not always safe to trust people you run into in pubs, but sometimes it's better than family. James and Sirius at eight years old.

Four boys: An orphan, who barely remembers his family; a pureblood, with a happy home; a half-blood, with a slight problem once a month; and a boy who thinks he's a Muggle... until he receives a letter. Four houses: Gryffindor; Hufflepuff; Ravenclaw; and Slytherin. Four futures: Death; Prison; Betrayal; and... Teaching. One dark wizard; one aim; and one plan. Without Dark, light wouldn't exist, but when the balance between the two tips, some people will do anything to right it again...
