It's 1976, and Lily Evans and James Potter are in their sixth year at Hogwarts. As they face teenage drama and struggle to find themselves as they grow up, the political atmosphere around them is getting slowly darker. They, and their friends, are children of the crossfire, their teenage troubles plagued by the war brewing around them.

It's 1976. A new group of radicals called the Death Eaters are rising to power. The political landscape is dominated by fear. Hogwarts, however, must continue as usual, and its students must learn how to forge relationships in the darkest of times. Times of great need force people together, and they must distinguish who they dislike and who they hate.
