1975. Year five for the Marauders at Hogwarts Schol of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The marauders have just managed to crack the code to their infamous Marauder's Map. Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs have finally managed to successfully transform from their human form into an Animagus without any deformities so that they can join their friend during his monthly visits to the Shrieking Shack. James Potter has finally managed to gather the courage to ask Lily Evans on a few dates, though Lily is quite reluctant and has turned him down. She and Severus Snape are still close friends as ever.

But among the drama inside the school is a much greater amount of drama outside the school and in what most consider to be the "real world." Tom Riddle, or Lord Voldemort as he is known to those in the magical world, has started to rise to power. He is rounding up his troops of Death Eaters and trying to create a dark side to help him take over the magical community and rid if off all the Muggleborns and half-bloods.

Meanwhile, Albus Dumbledore has formed the Order of the Phoenix. Many adults and even a few students have started to join in an attempt to fight against the Dark Lord and create a peaceful and good world once more. But their efforts are only small, especially since the Order isn't all that large.

What will happen? Will the Order be able to put on hold the attempt by the dark side to get ahead and take over the magical community? Only time will tell... We'll see what happens through the years.
