With a few twists of a timer turner we take you back to 1976, the world is beginning to darken with the presence of a name you will learn not to whisper. James Potter, along with his friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew are beginning their sixth year at Hogwarts. While the Marauders are just trying to survive the turmoil of youth, elsewhere in the world, witches and wizards are simply trying to survive. A dark presence, unlike anything since Grindelwald, has begun to rise. Lord Voldemort, as he is called by those brave enough to speak his name, has started his ascent to power, assembling his most faithful to aid him in horrifying tasks. Worst of all the scales are decidedly tipped in their favor. Most wizards seem to be turning a blind eye, the Ministry of Magic is over-worked and unprepared against backlash of horrific violence, and the Daily Prophet is not known for printing all the details. . .

. . . but there remains a sliver of hope in the form of a small order of vigilantes. A group has taken it upon themselves to stand as a barrier, a thin but visible line between all the Dark Lord has unleashed and the rest of the wizarding world. Many fear the day they falter.
