𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 james potter finds he's not that much into redheads as he thought

[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.

"I found him in a lover; when his hair falls in his face, and his hands so cold they shake." Octavia Knight is a bright young witch born into a family of pure-bloods. She's known as a blood-traitor, and she doesn't want to associate herself with people who believe blood status defines a person and their worth. In her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she meets four boys who instantly take her in and show her affection in which her family couldn't begin to comprehend. She's in her sixth year now, and what happens when people start noticing how she hugs a certain boy for a few seconds longer than she does with her other friends? Or how her eyes turn a light pink when she looks at him for too long?

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.

Book 1: Nepenthe Book 2: Halcyon For those that survived the war and carried on, happiness was waiting for them just around the corner, they simply had to find it. For James Potter, it took a wrong turn to end him in the right place where he met Renata Abate, a witch who was searching for her purpose in life. It was Harry who initially brought their paths to cross, but there was something else that kept the paths intertwined. Renata didn't only help to heal James, but he helped to heal her as well as some of the brightest smiles in the world hold the darkest pasts. Soon it became two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other and from that blossomed the start of a beautiful family and the wonderful memories that they would share in, for years to come.

Book 1: Nepenthe Book 2: Halcyon Book 3 : Selcouth Magic has always played an intricate role in the life of Harry Potter. He is the Boy Who Lived, a title hovering his head since the time he was one year old, marked by a lightning bolt scar. He learns that a dark wizard targeted him as a baby, although he still doesn't know the true reason why. What he does know, is that he survived and wherever he goes, people just want to catch a glimpse of his forehead. He's famous in the wizarding world, although lives quite a normal life at home with his parents and siblings for the most part. But the time has come for Harry to start his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, alongside his best friends, and it seems the pressure is on to live up to the greatness placed on him during a time he can't even remember. However, it shouldn't be a problem for Harry to find his next adventure when the castle holds a three-headed dog and plenty of secrets for him to uncover.
