Out of a school for over a year, the Marauders still have not located a new safe place for Moony's furry little problem to be contained.  James and Sirius head to the Shrieking Shack after their wild encounter with three Death Eaters, ready to help their friend as they have for years.  An unnexpected, and badly timed, party crasher turns a bad day into a possibly disastrous night.
