Set in the Summer after the fifth book, just before the sixth book begins. An alternative view on the events at Hogwarts. Told from a couple of different characters POVs, the first chapter is told from Lupin's point of view. Remus gets a letter from a student inviting him to Harry's birthday.

The sack felt rough, it was worn as if it had been used a lot, and recently by the feel of it. There was a funny smell coming from it too. Gold couldn't quite put his finger on it, it was unlike any smell he was familiar with. This was not the smell of roast dinners or strawberry shampoo. This was the smell of a mad man.

A warmly dressed stranger in the night is surely a villain is he not.

A lonely walk home gets interesting and potentially dangerous when you meet a strange man in a bar, but is this mysterious character as much of a saint as he appears...

Sitting in the park reading a book may not be the most conventional opening to an adventure story, but things start to get a bit out of the ordinary when a strange yet charming man appears out of the trees. Though he is not your average creep from the woods, something about him is different, intriguing, exciting. There is however, a fine line between excitement and danger...

A dodgy club in the rough end of town might just be the start to an exciting adventure...
