It all happened, more or less.
Every midnight, Maeve Saint-Laval saw it happen. Everything. Screaming would rip across her vision and broken bones littered the ground she walked. She knew the fate of every fellow classmate. Could envision their bloody ghosts with a single glance. She was touched by Misery and crowned by Death.
Others just called her "freak". They found her amber eyes unsettling, her mannerisms strange. They couldn't understand her reason for staying so isolated, throughout all six years of Hogwarts.
Until one disastrous evening, Sirius Black decided that Maeve Saint-Laval was a risk worth befriending. Remus Lupin came next, reading her like a forbidden book. Peter Pettigrew followed after, only to grow terrified of the girl. And of course, James Potter was the final blow.

𝐢... potential tw: violence, underage consumption of alcohol/cigarettes, death, neglect, and mental illness (hysteria, hallucinations, panic attacks..) please read at your own discretion!! drop a message if more should be included.
𝐢𝐢... welcome to new and returning readers!!! this is a standalone book. as always, you might be able to infer that this will not have a cheerful conclusion. please make note of that, as i've recently received some unhappy messages about this. and it really shouldn't need to mentioned, but please refrain from recreating/taking any of my work!!
maeve is a cathartic representation of my mental state during the lowest point of my life. she will be extremely flawed, make horrible decisions, and have questionable morals. my intention is to reflect the complexity of human nature and keep it authentic as possible.
please leave comments!! i really love to get feedback and reactions, and it's overall super motivating to me! and of course, feel free to imagine the characters the way you'd prefer.
