- Story Summary:
- Harry Potter knows well the stories of the four young men called the Marauders. Two of them are dead – Prongs defending his wife and son, and Moony and his wife Danger at the hands of Death Eaters, by whom they were kidnapped two years before the end of the war. Two of them live in hiding – Wormtail the traitor in an unknown location, and Padfoot with his wife Aletha and daughter Meghan, at number seventeen, Privet Drive. Harry also knows that Danger’s baby sister Neenie, who was just his age, was kidnapped and killed by Death Eaters, and that you can never trust a Malfoy. But when Harry meets a boy with blond hair and his pet wolf in Madam Malkin’s, some of the things he knows begin to change...
Prologue: Dreaming of You
12/17/2005The only magical witness to the infamous street scene between Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew was Sirius’ wife, Aletha. Unfortunately, she was as taken in as any of the Muggle witnesses, and stayed on the scene only long enough to tell Sirius that she was pregnant, and that she hated him for what he had done. Eighteen hours later, both Blacks are asleep, both in the grip of nightmare. Help comes to them from an unexpected quarter – friends they haven’t seen for years, friends long assumed dead...
