Prologue/Introduction/Author's Note
Title: 20 Galleons, 13 sickles and 10 knuts
Estimated length: 50-75 chapters (yes its long… please forgive me)
Warning: Contains small spoilers of all Harry Potter books. Rated M for future chapters due to violence, self harm, sexual content and language. Will contain extreme angst and abuse so if you don't like that stuff I suggest you don't read.
Disclaimer: As much as I would love to take credit for J.K.R.'s amazing characters and awe-inspiring plot, I have to admit… Its all hers, I own nothing.
Full Summary: Ever wondered what happened before the boy who lived? If you're an avid Harry Potter fan you might have picked up of a few things. Like the fact that James Potter loves Lily Evans, who appears to hate James but, in fact, loves him. You've probably noticed (God I hope so, or else you're really misinformed) that Remus Lupin is a werewolf and Peter Pettigrew (unfortunately I have to include the dumb rat) is a traitor. And you must have realised that Sirius Black came from a dark family, hung out with, what his family deemed, was a blood traitor, got disowned and was convicted of a murder he did not commit. (Wow we sure know a hell of a lot more about Sirius than anyone else.) But what really happened? How does everything fit together? This is my interpretation of how James met Lily, how the marauders were formed, why a little rat turned on his best friends, why Voldemort killed the Potters and most importantly who they all were.
