It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness… you get the idea. It is the year 1977, and if Charles Dickens were alive today, he would likely find things not so different as the era of which he wrote in one of his most famous works. In the wizarding world, especially, things are dire and bleak.

Of course, while things are getting depressingly darker, the next generation of the wizarding world is within Hogwarts. With the chaos beyond the building's broad doors, they are finding themselves being forced to grow up faster than they would like. Being students of Hogwarts, they still manage to to be the teenagers that they are in this time; friendships are forged while others are broken, and romances begin to blossom while some wizards and witches want to break each others necks.

So now you have to decide - will you help darken the world further, or try to bring it back to lightness?

Welcome to Lumos&Nox, a literate roleplay that takes place in the Marauders' last year at Hogwarts. We're slightly AU as far as canons go, as we've tweaked the ages of some of them for your enjoyment. Take a look around, and we look forward to roleplaying with you!
