[Harry Potter: Marauders Era] The Marauders' Band

"Burying sound waves and rhythms in a reckless, passionate youth."

★

When the world is laid to rest in the grooves of a vinyl record,

when the needle settles into the groove,

may it not begrudge us deep crimson hues or razor-sharp edges.

From that moment on, let us become the din itself.

This was once a rock band no one believed in.

Former bandmates jumped ship with unreleased songs, their agency got tangled in copyright disputes...

The three of them spent all their savings paying the penalty for breaking their contracts.

Everything reset to zero, and they started over.

The lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Jamie Potter, came from a family famed for its shampoo business, but was passionate about chasing thrills.

The bassist, Sirius Black, came from a long-established family but refused to study astronomy as his family demanded. He dropped out to play music.

The drummer, Remus Lupin, had been ill as a child. He always seemed troubled, as if hiding a great secret.

To reform the band, they had to find a new lead guitarist.

The story begins in the Hog's Head, a dim, cramped bar with dust-covered glasses.

Tyric Morgan

He raced through the desolate night, swallowed by the moon's shadow,

but his eyes shone like a star falling into a Klein blue sea.

His story unfolded in a gentle voice.

His soul had once been crushed by a tsunami, shattered into fragments,

like a wild yet clearheaded performance, with a melody as bizarre as it was captivating.

★ Please Read Before Starting:

1. Male protagonist, no romance pairing. Feel free to ship the bromance. The story includes some James and Lily.

2. The story is set in an alternate 1990s, separate from the magical world, with an alternate timeline in which all the characters were born twenty years later than in the original.

3. The characters' experiences are condensed versions of their lives. The story draws on real-life rock bands for inspiration. There is no war or risk of injury or death in the plot, so read without worry.

4. Discussion and corrections are welcome. If it isn't what you expected, please quietly drop the story.

5. Thanks again to my friends who provided inspiration and the cover.
