Saudade

><><><><

Saudade ~ (n.) A nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that had been loved and then lost; "the love that remains".

Emily Potter was a ghost. A chameleon. Someone that easily blended in the background. Someone that many people didn't know existed. Her nose was always buried in a book but she still never scored that well in exams.

James Potter was a prankster. The class clown. The star athlete. Some people adored him, while others hated him with a passion, but everyone knew him. It was a common conception that he had never touched a book before and yet he always aced the exams. 

He was a Gryffindor whereas she was a Ravenclaw.

They say opposites attract, but the siblings did nothing but push each other away whether they were intending to or not.

Despite all that, the two had always shared the same beliefs. That and an equal amount of loathing for the snakes.

Enter Celeste Viper, the alluring Slytherin that would change everything.

But maybe, just maybe, Emily should've heeded James's warning and stayed away from her. Because even if it wasn't in the way that he meant, Emily had been betrayed, heartbroken, and torn apart.

All because of her.
