Somewhere along the way, though, he forgot his Marauder side . . . until he meets his soulmate in a surprising place. AU because I change, oh, a LOT of canon. Please read the Author's Notes!

At the first anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, many survivors have to face guilt and sorrow. We make memorials for our heroes, but do we appreciate them? All things Harry Potter belong to J.K. Rowling, who apologizes for character deaths every year. I, however, do not.
