I SOLEMNLY SWEAR
that i am up to no good

Let us so live that when we come to die even
the undertaker will be sorry. - Mark Twain



The summer of 1976, with its long days hot enough to melt the tar
on the roads and nights all filled with lightning bugs, is coming to
a close. The thunderheads are finally rolling in and, with it, the
students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are back
for another year at the castle. The Ladybird summer is over now
and everything is standing on a delicate precipice.

The IRA and Ulster talks keep Ireland in chaos, the Prime Minister
has resigned, and Muggle Britain is closer to a military coup than
anyone would like to admit. However, the Muggles' problems are
the farthest thing on most wizards' minds, especially with the
inescapable reality that war is here.

Lord Voldemort is attacking the Wizarding community with a force
unheard of since Grindelwald's time, and in response, the Order of
the Phoenix is rising up to halt the dark force sweeping across
Britain. With the growing chaos becoming more than a just distant
thought, the Marauders are entering their sixth year at Hogwarts.
The world outside may be starting to crumble but one thing is certain,
there is still a voice to whisper I SOLEMNLY SWEAR that I am up to no
good.
