Among the first Order of the Phoenix, Marlene McKinnon lives and dies, learning along the way that growing up, and loving someone, isn't quite what she expected it to be. An alternative take on Marlene, and Sirius, and even Remus. Some mature moments.

Before Sirius ran away, he was given a reason to. James listens, Regulus wavers, Bellatrix threatens, and Sirius defies them all.

Marlene McKinnon encounters Regulus in a dark alleyway, but what he really wants is Sirius."Going to kill me, Mr Black?"

Never, not even once. Probably. Could also be known as "Five Nights Fabian Prewett Didn't Die".

Gideon and Marlene talk, late one night, in bed.
