Sic semper tyrannis

It is the morning of 26th December 1968 and the scandal breaks like a storm: Minister Nobby Leach has been poisoned. The suspect, Abraxas Malfoy, sits in a holding cell, red-handed and innocent. Auror Alice Longbottom is leading the investigation - not into the poisoning, but into a string of strange crimes: people vanishing, candlesticks stolen, and rumours that the dead are coming back. The Department of Mysteries is reluctant to help: James Selwyn left the office three weeks ago under a cloud of suspicion, and since then the Death Chamber has been locked, its contents sealed away. 

Eyes are watching everything, everywhere, spying on protests and squishing riots, but talk is growing in the shadows: turning from unrest to rebellion to revolution.

Lord Voldemort is ready.

Hogwarts, November 1963.

Jack Teague and Frank Longbottom get a shock when looking for Professor Binns on a Monday morning.

The first in a series of 'origin' stories linked to my 'Teague Family' universe.

For Noelle Zingarella's Origin Story Challenge 

-This story features a darker version of the Marauders era-

Severus has called her a Mudblood not three days ago and now he's hexed James with a new curse of his. But what was unexpected was her reaction to this. Was she turning dark as well? Or was this her role in the war brewing outside of the safety of Hogwarts?

With the initiation of the Death Eaters, the threat of war has become real. As a potential Death Eater, a Mudblood and two Purebloods clash within the walls of Hogwarts, the future seem pretty cut out for them. 

But where would there petty childhood rivalries land them? 

War is no place for lovers or children, for late nights in the pub or early mornings in the sun. But for one group of friends, that matters not. This is a story about those with hearts brave enough to beat through battle, to withstand the lashings of fear. A story about those who refuse to surrender. Join them as they fight for light, even as darkness descends.

Sequel to Before They Fall

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

The young man speaks, but his words confuse me.  He tells me that it's mother day, something that I had failed to remember. I mean why would I really? My mother is long dead and my husband and I have never been lucky enough to have a child.
