The Marauders. Almost everyone knows of the bond between them. The original group consisted of James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. A generation later, another group of four Gryffindor boys have established a bond almost as tight as the originals. They are James Potter, Caleb Wood, Francis Longbottom and Andrew Smith. And as with the age old tradition, they have their Slytherin counterparts who hate them. Scorpius Malfoy, Valerius Nott, Jasper Flint and Zoticus Zabini make up the other group.

Their Hogwarts years were nothing short of chaotic. The boys regularly crossed paths, be it on purpose or by accident and needless to say, developed an intense rivalry. Out of Hogwarts, they have less contact with each other but should they meet, you know what will happen.

But something bigger is coming. The four Slytherin boys have been recruited among many others, by the Lestrange brothers to start another uprising not unlike the second war. The Lestrange brothers have been bidding their time and they want revenge. The boys are being trained in the dark arts and some without the knowledge of their parents.

What of the second generation Marauders? Their lives are going on well, each venturing out in the career path they want. But what will happen to the lives they have when mysterious deaths occur and the Dark Mark is seen again?

It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

Some things never change.

Love and hatred never goes away and sometimes even go along hand in hand.
Good and evil are always at odds.

Even if the Wizarding world seems peaceful now, you know it's only just a beautiful lie.
