Four boys meet on the train going to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Remus Lupin, a brilliant boy, has to adjust to being a werewolf. James is smart, good-looking, and popular but hides his insecurity of never being enough behind his fake ego. Sirius Black is the eldest son of the Noble House of Black, but we know how rebellious older siblings are, especially in his less-than-ideal household. Peter Pettigrew, always the lesser of all his friends, is a lost puppy covered by the shadow of his owner. The group goes around trailing mischief every were they go and attracting danger. Regulus Black is the quieter, lesser version of his brother, tries to live up to his brother's legacy while still being the perfect son for his parents. Supported and listened to by Barty Crouch Jr. and Evan Rosier. They have their family issues to work through. Pandora Lovegood, Regulus black's best friend, is odd, similar to her daughter, and relentlessly teased with no guilt by Severus Snape. James tries to help but fails more often than not. Dorcas Meadows, another of Pandora's protectors, has to fight her relentless love-hate relationship with Marlene Mckinnon. The relaxed, sleek Slytherin could never be with the vibrant and badass Gryffindor, Marlene Mckinnon. But Marlene has very straightforward feelings toward Dorcas that are all ranted to the sweet bookworm Lily Evans and the charming icon around Mary Macdonald.
