     Lily and James weren't the only tragedy to come out of the First Wizarding War, so why are they only one people remember? Madeline Thompson was many things — an incredibly bright muggleborn witch, best friend to Lily Evans and pregnant at seventeen with Peter Pettigrew's child. Despite being such young parents, both Madeline and Peter loved their daughter fervently. And, that was their tragic flaw . . .

     As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Peter had a target on his back. He always knew that would be the case — except, he didn't have a family to consider when he first signed up. Peter always wanted to fight, but the importance of picking his battles was not lost on him when he had his fiancée and daughter waiting on him. Until one day he got too comfortable living in a war zone and walked home to find his nine month old daughter crying and her mother held at wand point by a man in a mask. And that was when he changed sides . . .

     By 1993, Tessa Pettigrew is an orphan and desperate to be a little more Gryffindor. Even though she was a proud Hufflepuff, she wanted to be brave like her parents. Both of them were unflinching in the face of death, standing up for what was right before they were murdered by Sirius Black's blasting curse, or so she heard. As she prepares to enter her fifth year, Tessa is confronted with bitter truths and bitter lies. Not to mention a certain red head won't leave her alone. To think, all she wanted that year was for Cedric Diggory to see her as something more than a friend!
