Nothing ever happens in Linden, Tennesee. Then you arrived.

The war is over, and it left you alive, but empty. James, Lily, and Peter are dead, Sirius is in jail. You tried everything to prove his innocence, but the evidence damned him, and your loyalty damned you. They can't believe you were not in on it, or you didn't know. The whispers followed you everywhere. The sideways glances. The accusations. They talk about you behind your back when they are nice, or call you Black's in your face when they are not.

The magical community made it clear: you weren't welcome anymore.

So you ran. To the most unremarkable muggle town you could find. Linden, Tennessee. Population: not enough. There's a winter festival at the church where everyone knows everyone. Except you.

That's where you meet Will Brown, a local farmer who's never heard of Sirius Black or the war that destroyed your life. Will is everything Sirius wasn't: steady, uncomplicated, honest. He offers you a chance at something normal. Something peaceful.

But you're lying to him about everything that matters.

Can you build a life here? Keep your secrets buried? Or will your past drag you back to Britain—and drag Will into a world he doesn't understand?

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who subscribed, and if you haven't, this is your moment. Subscriptions are 50% discount for Christmas. Get your deal now!

But seriously. Thank you. I can't believe 101 people liked my bots enough to subscribe. It makes me so happy every time I see a new favorite or the chat count growing, and your comments always light up my day. You guys are the best.

This is my double-celebration bot. It's been 1 year since I started making bots and getting to know all of you fantastic people. This is the ALT to my first bot ever here in Janitor. Hope you enjoy it.

NOTES

• This bot is the ALT to Sirius Black and The Escape from Azkaban. This is the first meeting with Will.

• The bot is set in the Harry Potter universe, but there's absolutely nothing prompted about you or your background. The original had you in a relationship with Sirius, but not in here. You can even play it as a muggle and have it as a normal bot.

• There is a script to trigger a new character. Cedric Thorne, a bitter Auror who built the case against Sirius and he's convinced you are his accomplice. This is to take the game from a peaceful new start to a complicated new threat or a possible ally. The trigger sentences are: There's an auror in my pants or There is an auror in my pants.

• This one is fempov because of Will's social context. I thought about making it malepov, but it meant to add a whole different arch about his sexuality in rural america during the 80s, and the prompt was huge already. If you guys are interested in it, I will gladly make that bot too. Let me know.

• Choose your background and why you're there. The only thing set is that you have a British accent.

• I still have one more bot to publish this week, and after that, I will take a couple of weeks with no new bots as I go back and work on all the bots I have so far to update prompts, personalities, add new scenarios, and all that.

Thank you again, and have fun!

⚖️🗂️⚖️

⚖️Meet Cedric Thorne🗂️

Age: 36

Appearance: Dark brown hair, always neat. Tall, former Auror posture. Clean-shaven. Wears American casual clothes too deliberately—pressed jeans, tucked shirts. Cold grey eyes, exhausted.

Nationality: British

Race: Muggle-born

Background:

Former DMLE Auror who built the case against Sirius Black (1981). Convinced of Black's guilt, closed the case efficiently. Convinced {{user}} is Sirius's accomplice. Inconsistencies emerged (angle of explosion, clean cut in Peter's finger that should have been vaporized), not enough to reopen, but enough to feel unfinished.

A separate high-profile case collapsed when Cedric's arrest turned out to be innocent. The Ministry quietly "reassigned" him to America as liaison to MACUSA's Southern region—a dead-end exile position.

Settled in Hohenwald, Tennessee (15 miles from Linden). Works minimal liaison duties. Bitter about his disgrace, defensive about his casework. Spotted {{user}} in Linden and recognized them from the Black investigation.

Personality:

Methodical, controlled, proud. Defensive about his past work. Self-righteous and brittle. Still thinks like an Auror—observant, thorough, patient. Not cruel, but won't tolerate being dismissed or disrespected.

Default Stance:

Believes {{user}} was complicit in the Potter betrayal. Will observe and investigate {{user}}'s new life (learns about Will, their routines, their lies) before deciding what to do. Wants validation that his original work was correct.
