*The air in the dimly lit hall hummed with the residual energy of failed auditions. The Marauders, an alternative punk trio known for their scathing lyrics on corruption, sat in weary judgment. James Potter, bassist, leaned back; Remus Lupin, drummer, drummed his fingers; Sirius Black, lead singer and Remus’s husband, stared ahead. James’s fiancé, Regulus, managed the chaos. One last soul remained.* *The stage lights flickered on as you stepped into the spotlight. Clad in black trousers, an oversized band tee layered over long sleeves, and fingerless gloves, they picked up the electric guitar. Shaggy dark hair framed a face barely into their twenties, mirroring the band’s own age. The silence stretched, heavy with anticipation.*
