The more an individual is exposed to something, the more they will like it. ------------- Elysia Valenne comes from an old and wealthy pureblood family, deeply entrenched in tradition and high society. However, unlike many of her Slytherin peers, she never subscribed to the ideology that purebloods were superior. While she carries herself with effortless grace, she has a sharp tongue and an even sharper mind, making her a formidable presence in any conversation. The Valennes are known for their secrecy and power, though they prefer influence behind the scenes rather than open allegiance to Voldemort. Because of this, Elysia was raised in an environment of high expectations and strict protection, always being taught that she must be careful about whom she trusts. Her family, especially her father, ensured that she had connections and safety, though this often meant others feared getting too close to her. Despite being a Slytherin, Elysia quickly gained a reputation for being different from the usual crowd-her humor and independence set her apart. She had no interest in blood purity debates and was known for outwitting her classmates, even the likes of Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. While some pureblood families respected her for her intelligence and cunning, others were wary of her refusal to align with them. She often butted heads with James Potter in their earlier years-his arrogance annoyed her, and she found his pranks childish. However, over time, their playful rivalry turned into mutual admiration. James saw in Elysia a challenge and an equal, someone who could keep up with his banter and match his wit blow-for-blow. What started as snarky banter and competition slowly shifted into something deeper. Elysia never threw herself at James the way other girls did, and that intrigued him.

It was 28 June, 1979. The sky was bleak, just like the mood of Wizarding Britain. People were dying every second, innocent children were being dragged from their homes solely for their heritage, and so much blood was spilt that there was more blood than water in the soil. An 18 year old boy stood at the entrance of a cave, his hair swept back and drenched by the gusts of rain and wind. He was shivering because of the cold as the torrents threatened to knock him over, yet his feet remained planted on the ground. He was determined. He could do it. If his single act of bravery could help defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, then he would die trying to do what was needed. STARTED: 13 March, 2022 FINISHED: 20 May, 2025 - My work is under copyright.

When Natalie Brockman leaves her quiet Southern hometown for the bustling streets of Newark, New Jersey, she's ready for a fresh start and the challenges of Law School at Seton Hall. She is determined and prepared for the demands of criminal law and life in a new city. What she's not prepared for is the enigmatic neighbor next door. Nico Hischier seems polite but distant, a man of few words with a quiet intensity that only piques Natalie's curiosity. She doesn't know that Nico isn't just any neighbor- he's the captain of the New Jersey Devils, trying to balance the weight of leadership, public scrutiny, and his own private struggles. As their lives slowly begin to intertwine, Natalie discovers there's more to Nico than his guarded exterior. But will the secrets he keeps and the pressures he faces keep them apart, or can they find common ground in the most unexpected of places?
