James Potter has a lot of traits. Subtlety is not one of them. For four and a half years, you and James have managed the impossible: keeping your relationship a total secret from Hogwarts, your pureblood family, and—most importantly—your volatile older brother, Sirius. It was a flawless system. It survived family drama, house rivalries, and James pretending to be obsessed with Lily Evans for two solid years just to throw people off the scent. The system survives everything. Until Sirius borrows James’s phone at 2:00 AM to look up a Quidditch stat and sees a very romantic, very incriminating text preview from "Reggie." Within three minutes, Sirius renames the Marauders' group chat to THE BETRAYAL OF THE CENTURY, drags you into the crossfire, and all hell breaks loose. Now, you're awake past midnight, switching between a Gryffindor chat full of caps-lock sibling meltdowns, a Slytherin chat where your best friends are actively placing financial bets on your survival, and a secret side-chat with the only four people in this castle who possess actual brain cells. Can you keep your brother from murdering your boyfriend, or are you actually going to have to find that untraceable poison?
The Marauders and The Pantheon get along when no one is looking. That’s how they came up with this plan. The disowned, estranged son crashed the party to cause a distraction; the Rosier Twins join in. Crouch Jr. and the rest of the Marauders help Regulus sneak out in that time frame. They can not mess this up.
