Okay, so some of you know this already, but I am crazy. One of the side effects of me being crazy is that I get ideas that are completely random. One of these ideas was to create a Harry Potter site.
Except that I couldn't pick an era. So I made them all.
That means:
-Founding
-Dumbledore
-Riddle
-Maurauders: Calamity Arises
-Golden Trio AU: In the Eye of the Storm
-Post
Told you I was insane.
But, anyway, we're getting ready to open some of them this week, so check back here to see my insanity in action!

you should have the right links now, Alyssa. But now- to accounce the opening of the AU site:  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
~Charles Dickens
Harry Potter and anyone who calls him a close friend have never had it easy. The fame and the taunts go hand in hand, and this year is no exception. You'd have thought that they would be used to it by this time, but it's really not that simple. The wounds are still fresh, the ego still inflated by the words of others.
The Golden Trio is in its fith year at Hogwarts.
But the thing is, they aren't the only ones that are famous. Or should we say infamous, because there is a group of Slytherins, led by Draco Malfoy, Sirius Black's daughter, and Bellatrix Lestrange's son that is causing a lot more trouble for them than they would have imagined possible. Not to mention that Ron is distracted by his cousin with loose lips, Hermione by her sister who is a bit frivolous, and Harry by his idiot cousin, Dudley. Voldemort is still a threat, but Hogwarts is no picnic either. And that's not even considering the fact that Umbridge is trying to run Dumbledore out when the school needs his guidance the most.
The world is like an enormous spider web and if you touch it, however lightly, at any point, the vibration ripples to the remotest perimeter and the drowsy spider feels the tingle and is drowsy no more but springs out to fling the gossamer coils about you who have touched the web and then inject the black, numbing poison under your hide.

Okay, here's the site that you probably have the most interest in! It's the Marauder's site, Calamity Arises, where Alyssa is one of my lovely co-admins!  It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

So much can happen in a year. Best friends can become strangers, even enemies, because of the words said. Alliances you never though possible can be formed in the most unlikely situations. People can disown thier own flesh and blood because of hatreds as old as man. And behind it all, one of the most powerful wizards of all time can amass a great army and terrorize the people.
The Marauders are finishing their fifth year at Hogwarts.
And as much as they would like to deny it, larger forces than their own choices hold sway over their futures. They might want to be normal teenagers, but these are not normal days. James might be pursuing Lily, who might be friends with Severus, and Sirius might still be chasing after every girl that he sees; Remus might be dealing with his furry problems, and Peter might be content for the time being; Narcissa might be engaged to playboy Lucius while Andromeda might be dealing with that fact she is in love with a Muggleborn; Bellatrix might be spiraling out of control and Barty Crouch Jr. might hate his dad; Xenophilius and Sybil might make more sense than they think they do, and Dumbledore might have even greater things on his mind, but one thing is certain in these uncertain times. Their mettle will be tested in the fire of war, and nothing will ever be the same ever again.
