Letters Sirius Black is about to go into his seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and all he wants is a peaceful year with nothing to worry about but NEWTs and detentions. But when he gets news from more than one quarter about black market wands, he suspects Lord Voldemort will use them to gain support. Sirius will once again have to face his past and those he hates, if he wants to survive. |

Back To The Grind Sometimes the vices of punishment outweigh the virtues of rule-breaking, as Sirius and James soon discover. An encounter with Peeves is as unhelpful as usual. They also discover that, unlike Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, Mr Filch does NOT 'improve on closer acquaintance'. Also revealed, through one of Sirius's memories, is a deeper insight into his troubled relationship with Regulus. |

The Marauders Reunited Sirius and James finish their punishment with great relief, and Sirius receives some disturbing news from Egypt. Meanwhile, romance is blooming in the Ravenclaw quarter ... and what's Peter Pettigrew doing in Annie Cuthbert's company? Is it more than an innocent game of chess? (By the way - I repeat my earlier apology for the wait between updates, but I've just posted four chapters, so please read Chapters 5, 6 and 7 before this one!) |

The Wand Chooses The Wizard Sirius picked up the wand, and he immediately felt the sensation he remembered feeling at eleven, when he had bought his first wand. He felt a warmth that was different from the dangerous heat of before; this warmth made his hand tingle, and as he continued to hold the wand, he saw its aura more clearly. It was such a relief to hold a wand like this again – a wand that would never corrupt him or turn his head. |
