Through letters between the marauders, we see Sirius struggling at home with mysterious family meetings while forced to remain under supervision. He stages small rebellions like putting up muggle girl posters, earning restrictions but maintaining his defiance. Meanwhile, Remus experiences his first summer romance with Grant Chapman, a charismatic sixteen-year-old who introduces him to his sexuality through stolen moments of kissing and intimacy. The relationship becomes a secret sanctuary for Remus, who realizes he's always been attracted to boys but keeps this revelation hidden from his Hogwarts friends.
