Dear readers,
For a while now I've been fascinated with the story of Lily and James Potter, and of course, The Marauders. I love reading all the fanworks out there, but some of them I've found to be severly off, and don't go along with the facts we're told in the Harry Potter books. I have come across a few very good installments, the best by far being Forever Alive by Mordred.
I've always wanted to try writing my own version of this part of the story. The part JK Rowling talks about several times in her books, but never really gives us all that much detail about. The part about Harry's Mom and Dad, their friends, and their lives leading up to their deaths. This is my version of the story, and my ideas of what happened and what kind of adventures they had. If you don't like any parts of this story, that's fine. It's your opinion, but these are my ideas, and keep in mind that I am taking the time to type up and post this story for you to read. If you don't like it don't read it. It's that simple
I've been reading through all the Harry Potter stories very carefully, looking for every bit of information JK Rowling gives about these characters. I assure you, I will include all the things they mention in the book, into my story. Even the part in the fifth book where Harry sees Snape's memories of James making fun of him.
And now for some back up information, so you know what time period I'm talking about.
1. As you might know, the 1st book takes place in 1991 (look in book two and the date of Nick's Deathday party. You'll be able to figure it out from there) , and in book one it says Voldemort began gathering folowers "20 years ago" so I figure The Marauders were in their second year in 1971.
2. Going along with the information up there, I am assuming Harry was born in 1980, and his parents killed in 1981.
3. That also gives Lily and James a few years after graduating Hogwarts to have Harry and fight in The Order. Not like in some stories where it happens almost immedietly after their graduation.
4. I've been spending some time trying to figure out everything, and I figure Lily and James and the Marauders were born in 1959, started Hogwarts in 1970, and graduated in 1977. That would also make them 21 when Harry is born.
I hope that will help you to understand this story a little better. I really hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you, leave a message in the reviews. If you don't like i tell me why, and i can try to make it better. Don't be rude about it.
Thanks for reading this. Happy reading!
