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.

** "She was born from darkness itself, it was woven in her bones and carved in her heart. She was the Light born from Darkness, because all stars are born in the dark. She was Cassiopeia Lestrange." ** "Hi, I'm Cassiopeia, call me Cassi. My friends call me that." Secrets shall be revealed, true lineage will be found, friendship will blossom, enemies will be made and finally two lives will intermingle and a love story will be written. ** "Because if you don't have hope or faith, then why would you even want to live?" She asked. He stared at her for a few moments and a comfortable silence stretched between them. "I don't understand how you do it." He finally spoke after a few minutes. "After every shit you have gone through, after losing people you love, after losing everything you loved, you still have faith. I don't understand how you still have faith." "Because it's the only thing keeping me from losing my sanity and myself." Cassi said quietly, looking him in the eye. **

Lucretia Black never considered herself lucky. She thought it woefully ironic that her parents had chosen a name meaning luck for their daughter, considering the fate that soon befell them. Having spent nearly her whole life living a tenuous lie, she's surrounded herself with walls, boundaries for her own protection. She's been wronged before, after all, by people like Julian Rosier, whom she once considered friends. Can she let down her defenses for love? Or will her pride and his prejudice lead to the downfall of them both?

What would happen if Harry Potter was saved from the Dursley's and instead raised as the pureblooded son of Sirius Black. Will he end up following in the path that seems to be common for most purebloods, or will he change the status quo and still be the hero that the wizarding world needs? Inspiration for this story comes from a fanfiction on fanfic.net that is unfinished and I created an ending for it. Harry Potter and the original world belongs to JK Rowling what is mine is the continuation of the original story and added details.

BOOK 2 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the 1st one. ❝Mischief should never be managed...❞ Margaret Adelaide Xenakis should've died at the end of Book 1, because logic, but she didn't, because... magic? Something revived her that night in the Department of Mysteries, and she knows for a fact that her 'voodoo powers' - telekinesis, telepathy and teleportation - had nothing to do with it. Now, as the dark prospect of Year 6 at Hogwarts looms like a storm cloud in the distance, the struggling witch has much on her platter already. But as the secrets of her bloodline are uncovered, her summer takes an abrupt adventurous turn, revealing a far more complex family past than she could've imagined. Suddenly burdened with the knowledge of both the past and the future while juggling the present, Margaret has to not only tread very carefully on the thin line between good and evil but also help all those who do not deserve to suffer in the crossfire no matter what side they are on; including Draco Malfoy. Talk about tougher luck... Warning: probably also contains plot boo-boos like the inclusion of movie storyline :) 🏅 Best Title → The Brooklyn Awards

✨ FEATURED on WattpadPotterverse 🪄 This story now has assistive text-to-speech 🗣️ so you can listen to each chapter ✨ ❝I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...❞ Margaret Adelaide Xenakis had a pretty normal life until the age of 14. And then she got struck by lightning. As if nature's unnecessary assault was not enough, it leaves her with 'voodoo stuff' instead - powers of telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and whatnot. Now at 16, trying to deal with the loss of her twin brother while suppressing her destructive powers, the struggling teen has much on her platter already. When she gets struck by lightning once again and wakes up in an unfamiliar place surrounded by way too many redheads, a bushy-haired girl and a bespectacled boy with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead... Let's just say Margaret's life might've gotten weirder than she could have ever imagined. Reading the Harry Potter books had been just a hobby. But suddenly, Margaret is burdened with the weight of knowing the future. She has to not only weave her way through the Wizarding World and fight in a war she had believed was fictional, but also save everyone who did not deserve to die in the crossfire. Talk about tough luck. ~ Warning: probably contains plot boo-boos like the inclusion of the movie storyline :) This is NOT an OC X Harry Potter story.
