A brief explanation on things going on in the first chapter, what happened in sixth year, the disclaimer and an author's note.
First and foremost, the disclaimer- I wish Hogwarts and everything to do with it belonged to me. Then I wouldn't be stuck in my fathers house. I would be in some mansion with an indoor pool and a sauna. With that said, even though I wish everything belonged to me, sadly it does not. So don't sue. Even if you did, you wouldn't get much, since I don't have any money. I own the characters you don't recognize. I also own all of the characters personalities. I tried not to make anything to much AU, but since I'm not J.K Rowling some of it is going to be.
Authors Note- The teachers are a lot nicer while Lily and the Marauders went to school because of the fact that Voldemort wasn't that large yet. He was killing, but he wasn't openly doing it like he is during Harry's time. He also wasn't killing as many people and he wasn't killing any wizards. When he keeled over when he tried to kill Harry, stuck as a spirit he decided to kill anyone that doesn't support him and doesn't have pure-blood.
Also, I know that laptops and computers did not even come close to existing in the 70s, but for my story to work out the way I envisioned it, there is now.
As for James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus…. Everyone tried to make James and Sirius out to be the Gods of Hogwarts and they get away with almost everything and they don't have to study to get their grades. I don't agree with that. Even the smartest kids have to study sometimes to get their grades. Therefore, they will study. All of them. Everyone also makes Peter out to be this horrible guy back then and one of the stupidest people. I'm changing that as well. Yeah, Peter sells Lily and James out to Voldemort, but he must have been best friends with all of them if Lily and James trusted him enough to make him secret keeper. So for you people that don't like Peter to be in a story because of what happens later, don't read it. He will be involved. He will play a role in this story. He just wont hide in the shadows. He will take an active part in the guys' pranks. He will not need their help on his homework every time they get a new one. Because that's not the type of person I think James, Sirius, and Remus would have hung out with. I also understand that it was sometime in September that Sirius tells Snape about the whomping willow. To fit in with the rest of the story, I'm changing it to two weeks before summer break.
There are going to be some questions asked about things that happen in the first chapter. Well, just so that you understand what is going on, I'm going to put in here what happened during sixth year. It's not going to be a full story, it will just be like a brief summary of what happened. I did have their sixth year wrote out, but I decided not to post their sixth year for personal reasons. ( I thought I could do better.) Eventually their sixth year will be posted, but I'm not sure as to when, so just so that you understand, here ya go.
Lily's parents died in a car crash in 75. Her sister went to a foster home until she came of age and Lily inherited over three million dollars and their parents house. She sold the house for another 2 million. She sold it fully furnished and with the car. She took a million of that for herself and put the other million with the two million dollars that her sister got into a bank account. Petunia disowned Lily and told every one that she did not have a sister after that happened. Even though their parents died a natural death, Petunia blamed their deaths on Lily and magic.
Sometime towards the end May and beginning of June of 1976 Sirius pulls a prank on Severus Snape by himself. He tells Snape that if he really wants to know where they go once a month to go to the whomping willow and press a knot at the bottom of the tree that night. That night just happened to be the night of the full moon. We all know what happened with that. For the rest of the school year, James, Remus, and Peter didn't talk to Sirius. When it came to go home for the summer holiday Sirius goes back to James's house with James and packs up all of his stuff that he has there. James's parents are completely confused about what is going on but figures that the boys will work things out and just lets Sirius do what he wants to. Three hours and a knight bus trip later, Sirius showed up on Lily's doorstep. Not one to turn a person out, Lily takes him in and lets him stay with her for as long as he needs to. They quickly become the best of friends, Lily acting more like a mother to Sirius than an older sister and Sirius acting like the brother that Lily never had. A month after Sirius moved in he started to notice that Lily only slept three hours a night if that and when she did tossed and turned the entire time. He also noticed that she froze at random times during their conversations and then when she unfroze said she had to speak to Dumbledore and that she'd be back in an hour or so. After a month and four days of this happening, Sirius asked her what was going on. She explained to him that she got premonitions and that Dumbledore had requested that any time she had one to come tell him. She continued to tell him that even when she slept they came and they were continuous while she slept, which is why she tossed and turned and hardly ever slept. She also explained to him that she couldn't get hurt, that her body had healing enzymes in it that would heal her almost instantly. To prove it she cut off her baby toe and Sirius watched in amazement as it grew back.
