Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington

**Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington**, better known as **Nearly-Headless Nick**, is the ghost of the Gryffindor house. Remus thinks the nickname doesn't seem very pleasant and always calls him Sir Nicholas instead, which greatly pleases the ghost.

**Sir Nicholas gladly helps students**, whether it's showing them how to get around the castle or answering their questions, and he was happy to tell Remus about his life when he asked.

When the Marauders told each other scary stories and tried the Bloody Mary bit, Sir Nicholas had a little fun and popped out of the mirror himself, yelling BOO! and then laughing as the boys ran away.

Simon Bones

**Simon Bones** is a Hufflepuff student in the Marauders' year who participates in the study group. He is white and has freckles, his hair is curly, and he is shortish (taller than Remus and Peter).

Bones is not the brightest in the study group but he loves learning and schoolwork. He would probably have been a Marauder had he been a Gryffindor. He is amused easily. Though he loves food, Bones is conflicted as he also hates the stereotype of Hufflepuffs loving food.

Bones is best friends with Donald Rivers. Their friendship seems strong, as Bones has even asked the Marauders for help getting revenge on Rivers' bully, Catterick.

Bones has a crush on Kyra Pierce.

Bones's favourite class is Charms, but Sprout is his favourite teacher.

Simon has an older brother, a Third Year named Philip, who is also in Hufflepuff.

Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom

In 1971, Mulciber, Avery, and Bulstrode dragged Remus into the bathroom to shove his head down a toilet and throw wet toilet paper at him. Myrtle came out of the plumping screaming at them and scaring them away. She returned to talk to Remus, and the two chatted for hours becoming friends.

In 1972 when fleeing from trying to break into Slughorn's Potions cupboard, Remus takes James and Sirius to Myrtle to ask if she could help them with an alibi so they wouldn't get in trouble. Myrtle agrees, heavily flirting with Sirius.

In 1972 Remus went to Myrtle to find a place to make their Babbling Brew for Halloween, also purposely going there to get Sirius back for ~~flirting~~ bothering him. Myrtle suggests they use her bathroom while flirting heavily with Sirius.

The Whomping Willow

**Whomping Willows** are rare and valuable breed of trees that are sentient enough to **physically attack anyone or anything who comes near it**. The Whomping Willow at Hogwarts was planted the summer of 1971. Professor Dumbledore said that Pomona Sprout had **"rescued"** it but in reality it was put there to **hide the secret passageway** that leads to the Shrieking Shack which is where Remus goes to change into a werewolf every full moon.

In 1971 some kids attempted to play a game involving jumping over the Willow's swinging branches.

Simon Bones wanted to study the Willow in the Herbology group project second year students did in 1973.

Tomes and Scrolls

**Tomes and Scrolls** is a bookstore located in Hogsmeade. It is large, on par with Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley.

Tomes and Scrolls has a giant display of books in the window. Its aisles are sorted by the subjects of the books.

The store supplies a wide variety of books. In late 1972 its shelves offered a book on the history of Welsh runic languages as well as *Your Body at Hogwarts* among other books. The clerk at that time was a man who treated Remus kindly but also underestimated his age by two years.

One Shots

**Shifting Lines One Shots** are scenes and short stories that are **a part of the SL canon** but are **published separately** from the main books. Many of them are from the point of view of characters other than Remus. Some one shots feature **spoilers** for the main story. The first one shot was published April 20th 2020.

## When You're Sure You've Had Enough

*When You're Sure You've Had Enough* covers a scene from Shifting Lines Book Two Chapter Twenty-Four ***My Illness, My Business***. It is told from **James's POV**.

## So Quiet In The World

**Charles Quinn Weasley has just been born**, and the Weasley and Prewett families gather to meet him and celebrate. The one shot follows **Professor Fabian Prewett** as he gets the word, gathers Kenneth and Quinton Weasley, arrives at the Burrow, and spends time with his family.

## Sirius, September 1971

This one shot was originally published as a separate work called ***Blackened Sky***, which (like it's predecessor Siriusly A Side Story) was intended to tell the story of Shifting Lines from **Sirius's perspective**. However, the plan turned out not to be viable in practise. Instead, DovahTobi decided to turn his ideas for the fic into one shots, and republished the first chapter of *Blackened Sky* as *Sirius, September 1971.*

The one shot follows Sirius through **the day on which he first entered Hogwarts**, from his morning at Grimmauld Place to the Hogwarts Express, the Sorting, and finally his dorm in the Gryffindor tower.
Tsulius Discordia

**Tsulius Discordia** is a magical plant that is usually not overly dangerous. In September 1973, the temperamental specimen in Hogwarts' Greenhouse Four had been acting up and it was recommended that students stay away from it.

## Trivia

When DovahTobi needed a name for the plant, he put a message in Discord, and the first person who would react to it would get the plant named after them. Tsu was the quickest, and Korppi helped warp the name into something resembling a scientific species name.

Frank Longbottom

Frank Longbottom is a Gryffindor student a year ahead of the Marauders.

He is best friends with Quinton Weasley and Cath O'Kelley.

He was born January 28th, 1959.

In autumn of 1971, Frank heard a lot of shouting and noise from the first years' dorm and went to see what was going on. Seeing Sirius and Spinnet in a fight, he fetched a prefect.

In winter of 1973, Frank came across Remus wandering aimlessly through the corridors and expressed concern, offering to help him.

Operation Overgrowth

**Operation Overgrowth** was the Marauders' and Lily's prank for the end-of-year feast of 1973.

## Planning

Sirius came up with the idea of the prank having something to do with plants and insects - bright flowers bursting up and bees and butterflies flying around. The Marauders later had a vote at Fort Dragon, and the idea won easily, as no one had thought of any other ideas.

### Insects

At the planning session at Fort Dragon, James suggested making the insects via either transfiguration or illusion spells. Remus explained that though transfiguration would be easier and less draining, hiding a massive amount of insects would *not* be. That's how they decided on using illusions. However, there was still a problem - though illusion spells are somewhat simple, doing one on a massive scale is a lot of work, and as the other Marauders aren't very good at illusion spells, Remus would have to do it all. Remus suggested asking Lily to help with the prank - she had already collaborated with him and James on the Bubble Belch Prank and it had gone perfectly, and she was almost as good as Remus as illusion spells. Peter supported the idea and said that if Remus being exhausted from the spell would be more proof for McGonagall that they were the culprits. James promised to think about it and later agreed.

### Plants

Peter had the idea to use a potion that makes plants grow on anything. He suggested putting bottles on the rafters and using spells to break the bottles so the potion would drip down the wall. Remus was worried about glass shards getting everywhere and suggested using balloons instead.

### Lily

Remus brought up the prank to Lily during one of their study sessions. He refused to tell her the details, only that he needed help with illusion spells and that the prank wasn't dangerous. She promised to think about it. Once she had decided she wanted to help, she entered the boys' dorm to tell them, find out what the prank is about, and plan with them. James decided he'd only let her join them on the condition she would lend them some of her Muggle music, and she agreed.

After learning the idea of the prank, Lily quickly had ideas that would make it even better. She suggested making the insects huge, and the plants too - make it look like everyone has shrunk. James was annoyed by her "taking over the prank", but everyone else loved the idea, and eventually he agreed as well.

## Preparation

James, Sirius and Peter snuck into Hogsmeade to get the ingredients for the potion for the regular-sized plant growth before Lily had come in with her suggestions.

Fawley's Ex-Husband

Mythana Fawley once battled against a dark witch who didn't like that Fawley's husband had chosen Fawley over her. The battle ended with Fawley's sister, who was a werewolf, killing the witch. Fawley's husband reacted to the revelation of the sister's lycanthropy by leaving her. In revenge Fawley gave him donkey ears.

Arthur

**Arthur** was a snowy owl belonging to the Lupin household.

Unlike most animals, Arthur trusted and loved Remus.

Arthur was given to Lyall when he graduated Beauxbatons. Arthur was probably about a year old at that point. In March 1973 Remus estimated him to be 26 years old. Even as Arthur grew slow and weak with age, he carried out his duties without complaint and even with pride.

In 1972 Hope reluctantly agreed to write Remus less in order to not tire the owl too much, but even then the owl became ill later in the school year. James gave Remus the money for a veterinarian and the medicine Arthur needed, and slowly Arthur got better... for a time.

Arthur finally passed away in the autumn of 1973, and was buried near Fort Dragon. Marking his grave is a stone, onto which Sirius etched 'AL' for Arthur Lupin.

Vinctum Spiritus

**Vinctum Spiritus** (literally *bound spirit*), also known as **Vinctums**, are ghost-like **spirits** that are **believed to be purely fictional** by almost everyone.

There are various versions of the myth. According to the version Remus tells the other Marauders, when someone is **murdered** by powerful magic users in certain sacrificial manners – especially when they are being used as an anchor for a spell – sometimes they will become a Vinctum. Their spirit will stay close to the body until they are avenged, upon which the spirit is released.

**Signs that a spirit is a Vinctum** rather than, for example, a ghost:

* being opaque
* being in colour
* not acting like ghosts typically do
* not sounding like ghosts typically do
* disappearing

## The Vinctum of Mildritha Young

Mildritha Young, a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, disappeared in 1966. Her body was left in one of the tunnels under the Pits Passage, where she stayed for years, trying to call for help. She was only found 1973 when the Marauders decided to explore the tunnels and try to find the source of the faint whispering some of them had heard.

Her voice was difficult to hear even when from a relatively short distance – it was muffled and the words were mixed together. Narration-Remus described it as sounding like the **auditory version of a piece of parchment that's had water blur out the ink**. Mildritha was very slightly transparent and dressed in yellow robes that, true to the myth, indeed were still **yellow instead of silvery**. She **floated** a few inches off the ground. There was a ghostly dagger stuck in her chest, faint runes inscribed on the handle. Ghostly blood was dripping down, but it disappeared once it hit the floor.

At a close distance Mildritha's words could be made out. She was saying, with a wheezing voice:

"...help..."

"...killed me..."

"...used my death..."

"...finally found..."

"...finally free..."

She stretched out her arms, lifted them, tipped her head back as if she could see something above her, then faded into nothing.

Behind where she had been was her skeleton. It still had raggedy, decaying robes, as well as a necklace that allowed Dumbledore to identify her. The dagger protruded from between the ribs, but the runes had faded out.

The Cure for Lycanthropy

**The Cure for Lycanthropy** is a slim book full of lengthy essays about **ways to deal with, or more accurately *kill*, werewolves**. The book explains how wrong werewolves are and tells a bloody tale after another about the various ways to end them. The thesis of the book is that **the only cure for lycanthropy is death**. The book also has a photograph of a captured werewolf in a too-small silver cage. The wolf has stripes of burnt flesh from where it bumped against the bars.

**Lyall makes Remus read the book** whenever he thinks he needs a reminder on the importance of being hidden. Remus has the book practically memorized.

Ariadne Quillers

Ariadne Quillers is a writer witch who has written several books in the fictional genre.

James's great-aunt knows Ariadne's grandmother. James was able to get a signed copy of Ariadne's newest book for Remus' 13th birthday.

Alixan

**Alixan** is a Gryffindor student four years above the Marauders.

In late 1973, Remus witnessed him **fighting with a Slytherin student**. Alixan attacked the other student with various hexes, then took his wand and used it to cast hexes on himself so it would look like the Slytherin had attacked him instead. Alixan went to McGonagall and the Slytherin was punished severely — until Remus told McGonagall what he had seen, and it was Alixan who was punished in the end instead.

Cassie has witnessed Alixan sexually harass female students. He is likely racist as well.

Lucretia is still welcome to the Black family, unlike Cedrella Weasley, who was disowned for marrying Septimus. This makes family gatherings extremely awkward.

Horace Slughorn

**Horace E. F. Slughorn**  is the **Potions teacher** and the **Head of the Slytherin** house at Hogwarts. He is a very rotund man with a huge mustache and greyish blonde hair.

Professor Slughorn **knows about Remus' curse** but mostly treats him like any other student. He is interested in "collecting" Remus, though, often inviting him to Slug Club meetings despite Remus' protests. Slughorn says he wants him in the club because of his grades (overall grades, not Potions, which Remus sucks at), but Remus is certain he's lying. The Professor does seem **curious about the curse**, though he rarely asks anything about it outright. He eyes Remus when silver knives are used in class, and when Remus told him his nose is sensitive, he asked right away *how* sensitive. Remus is **uncomfortable** around him.

Remus is certain that were he to offer to sell werewolf body parts to Slughorn, he would buy them. Remus once considered this as a means to pay for what he needs for his electives, but quickly abandoned the thought as it felt too weird.

He was always pulling her hair, messing with her things and trying to play mean pranks on her. He even wanted to go to the same school as Myrtle, which wasn't possible and caused some fighting within the family. Myrtle was glad to get to be away from Walter for most of the year.

Walter cried when Saint Paul's was hit by bombs.

Maureen Charmer

**Maureen Charmer** is the Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. The 1972-1973 school year is her second year on the team. Charmer beat the Hufflepuff Seeker both years.

After the win against Hufflepuff in the 1972-1973 year, Charmer kept the Snitch and could later be seen in the party in the Gryffindor common room pumping it around to the tune of the beat. Charmer and the Ravenclaw Seeker slammed into each other in the 1972-1973 game, and though the Ravenclaw Seeker got control of his broom first, Charmer caught the Snitch and won the game. After the game ended, Litten and Faircauldron carried her on their shoulders on the pitch, and she pumped the Snitch above her head.

Like the entire team, Charmer was excited to see James show off his new MoonGlide.

When James was mad at the Marauders for pranking Kirke, he sat with Charmer and her friends instead in the common room.

When James brought Wild Adventures to the Great Hall, Charmer was one of the people who got to play.

Elara Black

**Elara Black** was Orion Black's younger sister. She had an obsession with a wizard who married Mythana Fawley. Furious, Elara challenged Mythana to a duel. During the duel she became increasingly more violent and it was clear she was out to kill and not just win. She hit Mythana with a spell that permanently blinded her. Just before Elara killed Mythana, Mythana's younger sister Morrigan attacked Elara and killed her in order to protect Mythana.

Sirius always assumed his Aunt Elara wasn't all there mentally judging by the way his cousin Bellatrix looked up to Elara.

Elara is named after one of Jupiter's moons, in sticking with the traditional Black naming scheme.

Silvanus Kettleburn

**Silvanus Kettleburn** is the **Care of Magical Creatures professor** at Hogwarts.

Kettleburn is a raggedy, torn up, **wild-looking man**. He is **covered in injuries of all kinds**, including scarring on his face. He is **missing one hand, and has various prostheses** he likes to use in its place. Most often he uses a hook, but sometimes he prefers a three-pronged contraption that lets him grab and hold onto things. Some of his scars on the arm that does have a hand are from ashwinder eggs. Kettleburn smells strongly of blood and forest, or did at least one night in Remus's first year.

Kettleburn isn't good at remembering names, but he is better than Binns. He is also either not very sensitive to students' emotions, or chooses to ignore the discomfort that sometimes arises. Kettleburn prefers **a practical, hands-on approach to teaching, bringing creatures to lessons** and letting students handle them as he teaches. Once he even brought in a thunderbird from America. Kettleburn doesn't bother with register every class, and once he feels like he has nothing more to say during a lesson, he will end the class early. **He is very well-liked, and no students have died yet during his classes**.

Kettleburn used to be friends with Alice's father before he passed away.

When a student accidentally transformed some of the shelves in Hogwarts library into a very angry dragon, Kettleburn subdued it.

Cath O'Kelley

**Warning, SPOILERS — *see* *Cath O'Kelley No Spoilers* *to avoid them.***

Cath O'Kelley is a Gryffindor student a year ahead of the Marauders.

She is best friends with Frank Longbottom and Quinton Weasley

She was born November 24th, 1958.

She has an older sister named Cadhla.

Cath O'Kelley is a MtF transgender girl. She realized her identity as a kid growing up however when she started school she buried her identity deep down inside. Being called a boy all the time and being in the boys' dorm really messed with her head, until her third year when she started realizing that despite what may appear on the outside, she is in fact a girl.

Benjy Fenwick

> "Two weeks without letters from you guys. Or—or else being all alone here. Or forced to be around Pratty McPratface. This sucks rotten plimpy eggs." – Peter in Book Two, chapter 120: You Got Mud On Your Face
>
>

**Benjy Fenwick** is a **Ravenclaw** a year above the Marauders, as well as **Peter's least favourite cousin**. He is Peter's mother's sister's son and magical. Benjy is also a member of the **Ravenclaw Quidditch team**.

## Appearance

Benjy is **handsome** and almost as **tall** as Sirius. He has slightly dark skin and wild dark brown hair, a strong jaw, and dreamy sort of dark brown eyes.

## Relationship with Peter

> "Shame you got the Pettigrew look about you, eh? And the Pettigrew smarts, and the Pettigrew talent—which is to say, a big fat Muggle nothing." - Benjy in Book Three, chapter 60: Pete's Cousin
>
>

Benjy **enjoys making fun of Peter.** He calls him Pokey, belittles him, and tries to make him feel ugly, dumb and worthless. He has tried to embarrass Peter in front of the Marauders, mentioning how the family thought Peter was a squib until he got his Hogwarts letter.

Peter doesn't like to tell people that he is related to the Fenwicks, because he doesn't like it and because he feels like he's nothing compared to them.

When Peter had to choose who he would spend the second year Easter holidays with, he chose his muggle cousins, saying that "between [Benjy] and the Muggle cousins, I’d rather stay with the Muggles even though that’s still not what I’d like" and that "pretending to be Muggle will suck but it beats being alone and being around my dumb cousin.”

During the summer of 1973, Peter had to stay with Benjy for a few nights.

The Shrieking Shack

**The Shrieking Shack** is a house that was built in Hogsmeade specifically **for Remus Lupin to use during the full moons**. Tobi made the decision to have the house be built for him (and not already exist) due to the line in *Prisoner of Azkaban*, Chapter Eighteen when Remus explains to the Golden Trio that the house and passage were built for his use.

On the outside it already looks very run down despite being newly built. The inside is better looking, and all the rooms are fully furnished.

**Professor Dumbledore placed spells on the house** to imitate a werewolf howl on various nights of the month as well as unearthly screams to throw people off when Remus actually transforms; in addition he informed the Ministry of Magic that the house is being used by a group of rowdy ghouls and ghosts. Because of this, **everyone in Hogsmeade assumes it is dangerously and violently haunted**.

Professor Prewett's Extra Credit Pyrabbit Lesson

Book Two, Chapter 36: Thestrals

At supper on a Saturday night Professor Prewett announced that second years of all houses had **an opportunity for some extra credit from Defense Against the Dark Arts.** This was only a mild surprise as a similar thing had recently happened for sixth years.

**The students who wanted to participate** met Professor Prewett on the courtyard the next day at 10 am. These students were: Themis Alexander, Sirius Black, Alice Colgate, Raven Craft, Lily Evans, Remus Lupin, Eloise Nettle, Peter Pettigrew, Kyra Pierce, James Potter, Aegis Silverlocke, Severus Snape, as well as several unnamed students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Hagrid and Rocky also came with the group.

The plan for the lesson was to **go into the Forbidden Forest and relocate the pyrabbits** (*ignis lepus*) that had been nesting too close to Hogwarts. However, **the spotlight was stolen by thestrals** before the group even saw any rabbits. James, who had never seen a thestral before (having not yet come to terms with his grandfather's death when the term started), let out a choked scream that caused the group to stop. Prewett was surprised to hear it was his first time, and even more surprised as more students started talking about how **they could see the beasts but had no idea why or what they were**. Hagrid theorized the prefects had been lacking in their duties and Prewett agreed with him. He asked who all could see them and four hands sprung up: James, Remus, Pierce, and Alexander. When Prewett explained the beings, their role at Hogwarts and who can see them, all but Remus told who they'd seen die, Remus simply saying he didn't want to talk about it although the real reason was that **he didn't remember ever seeing anyone die** and was feeling terribly confused and anxious.

Eventually the group came to a razed clearing with some burned wood in the middle and a few pyrabbits hopping about. Professor Prewett shot one with **a gentle stunning spell, then set up a funnel type cage with charcoal inside it**, all the while teaching the class about the creatures. He picked up the stunned pyrabbit (while wearing gloves) and let the students examine it while telling about their physiology, history, and habits. He then put the pyrabbit near the entrance to the den — he didn't want to only take the one, since they don't do well by themselves — and explained that he would later come back to the cage.

The group headed back to Hogwarts grounds, where Prewett dismissed everyone but the four students who had seen thestrals. He **apologized for the sensitive issue that had come up** and said that he, as well as the Heads of the Houses, were there for them were they to need anything. He then let them go.
Bubble Belch Valentines Prank

Lily put a spell on Remus that grew out his hair and put a potion in his hair that made it dirty blonde. He and James then snuck into the feast and when Lily set off the fireworks, Remus levitated a Bubble Belch potion into Inkwood's drink. Professor McGonagall thought James had set off the fireworks but it wasn't him.

Full Moon Howl

***Full Moon Howl*** is a song by Kaeso And The Monster Boys. It was first played in radio in 1972 and was very popular in Hogwarts, even getting adapted for a Quidditch chant.

## Lyrics

In the darkness, a sliver of light, my heart is on the prowl

I'm the beast, my darling, and you make me do the full moon howl! (AWOOOOO!)

Baby your love burns me like a silver knife in my heart

Baby you cut through the evil you see through me, baby I'm yours you've freed me

No more darkness, the world's full of light, baby my heart's on the prowl

No more a beast, my sweetest, I've finished my full moon howl

*(More howling, unless James just added it for funsies)*

## *Gryffindor Roar* Lyrics

In the brightness, a sliver of gold, my team will conqu-*or!*

We're the beasts, little birdies, and you make me do the Gryffindor *Roar!*

Albus Dumbledore

## Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

**Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore** is the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

## Appearance

Dumbledore has a long, white beard, long, white hair, pale blue eyes and a long, crooked nose.

## As A Headmaster

He has forbidden the use of chains and manacles on the students. He also believes there's nothing wrong with either house pride or people from different houses befriending each other. Previous headteachers have had decorated Halloween feasts, but Dumbledore was the one who started bringing in various entertainments.

Dumbledore is often amused or unbothered by pranks. When there was a food fight, he let it go on for several minutes before calling it off.

## Regarding Remus

Dumbledore thinks Remus has a lot of talent and potential. He also thinks it's possible for Remus to both have friends and keep his secret, as long as he is *very* careful.

Dumbledore has said that putting Remus in a dark cement room underground for the full moon would be child abuse.

When Fawley told Dumbledore about Lyall having hit Remus, Dumbledore took it seriously and joined their next lesson in order to discuss it with Remus. However, Dumbledore figured there wasn't much he could do about the situation as Remus' lycanthropy situation prevented taking this to the Ministry. In addition Dumbledore didn't want to push Remus too much.

After Dedenne's detonation Dumbledore apologized to Remus for what happened and asked him that if a staff member ever gives him trouble again he would come to Dumbledore. Dumbledore obliviated Dedenne, after which (according to him) she chose to leave her position. He also gave Professor Prewett permission to offer Remus an opportunity to make up for her unfair grades.

In Remus's second year Dumbledore allowed him to stay in the Shrieking Shack during the days during the full moon, despite Madam Pomfrey's disagreement.

## Trivia

Dumbledore knows every name on the werewolf registry.

He has turned down the position of Minister of Magic twice now.

Dorcas Meadowes

**Dorcas Meadowes** is a Gryffindor girl a year above the Marauders. She is black.

Dorcas is part of the Slug Club and was at the supper Remus, Lily and James went to together. When Slughorn kept bringing up Lily's blood status, Dorcas thought it was irritating of him but also found it nice he reminded some of the Purebloods that Lily could be talented 'despite' her blood status.

Dorcas is good friends with Marlene, and they often sit together in the Great Hall. Marlene calls her Dorie. They were both hit by the Bat Bogey Hex the Marauders put on the Potions classroom door, and Dorcas suspected the culprit might be a Slytherin.

When Peter had a splinter in his finger, Dorcas used her long nails to pull it out.
