Background Information

This story takes place in a slightly different universe to the one created by the incredible J.K. Rowling.

It begins at the first Order meeting of the second war at Grimmauld Place, before Harry is caught for using magic in front of a Muggle.

This story is mostly based around Tonks and Remus as well as the other Marauders.

James and Lily were not killed that fateful night, they were knocked out cold for a few hours. Harry still got the scar from Voldemort but he never lived with his aunt and uncle.

Sirius didn't end up in Azkaban because James and Lily survived to reveal the truth about Pettigrew, who did escape.

Tonks was in the same year as James, Lily, Sirius, Remus and Pettigrew. Her and Lily are best friends.

Remus and Tonks were together from their sixth year at Hogwarts until Voldemort tried to kill the Potter's. They have tried to stay friends since.

Tonks has two children with a Muggle man who she met at a cafe that she frequented every morning before work at the Ministry. He was killed by Bellatrix two years ago. Their children are Mackenzie (Kenzie) 5, and Charlotte (Charlie) 2.

Remus is engaged to a Muggle lady, Alexandra. He manages a Muggle bookstore and she works as a cashier at a department store.

Sirius lives in his parents old home and babysits for Tonks when she's at work 4 days a week. He restores old cars and bikes and sells them.

James and Lily had two more children after Harry who is 15, Amy 12, and Lucas 8. James works at the Ministry in the Department of Magical Transportation, he works in the portkey office managing the distribution and activation of portkeys. Lily is a stay at home mum.

As a last note, although they are all wizards and witches they have tried to fit in with the Muggle world when they are living in it. The biggest notable thing that the Marauders have adapted is having a mobile phone so that they can communicate quicker with each other. The only other thing that everyone in this story has adapted is Muggle past times.

Lots of surprises to come so please enjoy :-)
