𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 was someone who always loved to win. She was as stubborn as could be, almost never apologised, and was very strong-willed.

She had a happy childhood. Living with her mother and father - Lavender and Richard Emerson - and next door to her best friend. The small village of Godric's Hollow always seemed to echo with the laughter of James Potter and Elladora Emerson.

James's parents - Euphemia and Fleamont - were on the older end of parenting, but were perhaps the best people in the entire world. The couple got on really well with the younger parents of Elladora.

Euphemia and Fleamont were like second parents to Elladora just as Lavender and Richard were to James.

Both pureblood families had been in Gryffindor for centuries - which somehow made their morals more...pure than those of Slytherin pureblood families, which was something that Elladora never understood.

She never understood how a house at a school could make people see you differently. She didn't see how you could go from siblings to enemies over night because of what colour robes you wear.

All in all, Elladora found it rather pathetic.

James, on the other hand, didn't. He saw it as a test of your true personality.

She should have seen it coming, really. How easily James would abandon her as soon as the sorting hat called out the fateful houses.

She should have seen it coming. How James would replace her just because she wore emerald instead of burgundy.

What she couldn't have seen coming, however, was the spite and the malice to which James would hold against her.

What she couldn't have seen coming, was the hurtful words he could spit at her and how he used his wand for evil rather than good.

Elladora couldn't have seen her best friend in the entire world turning his back on her, stabbing her in the back, and then bullying her simply for the fact that she wore a different colour on her robes.

author's note:

I will not be writing smut in this book since I am not comfortable writing it, also it would be really awkward since I am a virgin and have no fucking clue what is going on. I am sorry if that is what you were looking for, but I thought I would put it out there in the introduction.

This will go from the Marauder's seventh year (1977-78), right the way up to the Cursed Child era stuff (2019ish)  following my OC - Elladora Emerson.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this book and love it as much as I have loved writing it.
