Veritaserum
Merely thirty years after Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald a new Dark Lord is on the rise. The Wizarding World is just starting to realize that a new threat is upon them. Voldemort has been recruiting wizards by contacting important pureblood families, threatening them to join his side or else he‘d kill them all. As of now he has a small group of followers, mainly those fearful for their families. On the other side of things Dumbledore is gathering his own group of followers who would be known as the Order of the Phoenix. They were brought together to stop the Dark Lord no matter what the cost, even if it meant losing a few of their own. Meanwhile inside the walls of Hogwarts things are fairly normal.
While Slytherins speak of joining the dark forces the Gryffindor’s speak of nothing more then stopping what’s to happen. The Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs have pretty much remained neutral on the matter. Finding it safer and easier to keep to themselves, even with both sides trying to recruit them to join their causes. Now entering their fifth year at Hogwarts the Marauders are starting the year off with one of their best pranks yet. James Potter and Sirius Black have planned to humiliate Severus Snape in front a crowd of their friends. Using a little potion that Remus Lupin put together for the special occasion. Veritaserum would make Severus spill his emotions in front of the people he hated the most. But will James plan backfire on him when Lily finds out how Severus really feels about her? Or will their relationship still be as broken as it once was?
