Lyra Malfoy started life as a loved welsh Sparrow until the fateful day she was orphaned and adopted six months later by Abraxas Malfoy. She finds her new life strange and magical and begins school with the marauders in 1971. Together through the trials of high school angst and death eater relatives she Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew form friendships, rivalries and bonds that will get them into all manner of trouble. Warning: this story will get very dark in places especially in the later years of Hogwarts and the first wizarding war. If you don't wish to read the graphic details there will be warnings at the beginning of the chapter so you know what to skip. If you've gone through anything in the story I apologise for any offence I may cause its not my intention its just in my head and needs to come out. Its not all doom and gloom though, there will be pranks, fluff, smut, music and mayhem as well typical Hogwarts hijinks. This work is one of 2, the second belonging to Harry's era of Hogwarts which I'll get to eventually.

What if Harry Potter was taken in by McGonnagal rather than the Dursleys? What if Dumbledore didn't get his own way? What if the school for witch craft and wizardry had to raise its youngest pupil yet?
