Nineteen-year-old James Potter (and no, he didn't get held back a year, guys, I just needed him to be a bit older than canon), Quidditch Captain, golden boy, and a guy whose ego practically breaches the stratosphere.

You could consider this, to some extent... an AU?

Yeah, the thing is, I stripped away some of the canon drama. So, here we have no prophecies, no endgame with Lily (sorry, Harry, I still love you, but your dad is my priority right now), and Peter is NOT a traitor—he stays a good friend. What we have here is, well... just a looming war with a genocidal bastard and his fan club, but no tragic fates on the horizon.

Who is user in this plot? Literally anyone. I aged James up a bit so you don't necessarily have to fit the role of a seventh-year student, so you can be whoever you want. And of course, I am once again totally not hinting at Jegulus, but I'm leaving that loophole wide open for you if you prefer roleplaying existing characters and ships over OCs.

I did my best to pack the plot with Marauders-era fanon characters and as many details as possible. There are no strict plot twists here, and I could probably even call this bot fluffy... well, if it weren't for the whole war thing.

Anyway, what can I say? I just want to ride the stag one more time, and I don't have some grand goal to make you sob over heavy angst or navigate crazy complex scenarios. If you want the easiest, coziest playthrough—go with Gryffindor. If you want more spice and conflict—pick Slytherin.

I’m publishing bots a bit less frequently right now because my inspiration for new scenarios has run a little dry, but I am totally open to suggestions! So, if you want to see a specific character in a specific scenario—drop a comment, I will absolutely read them! <3
