Series: Pride of Gryffindor Winners





 

Men become accustomed to poison by degrees - Victor Hugo

 

It is October 1949: Lycus Malfoy is dying, quarantined in his house alone but for his wife, Adelaide, who still hopes there is a miracle cure; Eileen Prince has vanished into a Muggle life, washing the dead and arranging flowers, away from the sneers she endured at school; Cygnus and Orion Black are at war with each other even as they bury their secrets six feet deep. 

 

There is a murderer on the loose, shrouded in paranoia, and the old structures, things of blood and age and time, are starting to crumble. 

 

And a ship arrives from Lübeck bringing Tom Riddle home.

Founders Four

 

 

History speaks to us of four friends, a school they together founded, and a division that still echoes through the stone halls of Hogwarts today. Yet, that great castle was never truly the beginning, and most certainly wasn't the end. Maybe, it's time to find out what the history books didn't tell you.

A fade from left to right of orange arcane symbols to a faded blue street. The title 'Wild Hunt' is in shattered lettering. The tag line reads: He who fights with monsters might take care lest he himself become a monster.

 

Magic is a gift. A tool to change the world. But the wizarding world has fallen into a new age of darkness and fear, walling itself away. Scorpius Malfoy tried to fight that once, and lost.

 

Maybe he can’t change the wizarding world. But the Muggle world is full of evils that can be undone by one man and his wand. At whatever cost.

-This story features a darker version of the Marauders era-

 

Severus has called her a Mudblood not three days ago and now he's hexed James with a new curse of his. But what was unexpected was her reaction to this. Was she turning dark as well? Or was this her role in the war brewing outside of the safety of Hogwarts?

With the initiation of the Death Eaters, the threat of war has become real. As a potential Death Eater, a Mudblood and two Purebloods clash within the walls of Hogwarts, the future seem pretty cut out for them. 

 

But where would there petty childhood rivalries land them?
