Winnie Potter had once been warm-full of laughter, always trailing after James and Sirius like a second shadow. But everything changed the moment the Sorting Hat whispered Slytherin. Her bond with them cracked, then broke. She became the black sheep of the Potter name, a stain on their legacy. They stopped looking at her the same way. Eventually, they stopped looking at all. But in the shadows of Slytherin, she found something else-not redemption, but belonging. Her new friends and family who held her hand when no one else would. Love, in quiet looks and cruel loyalty. Peace, in secrets. It wasn't what she thought she wanted. But maybe it was what she needed because, If the light casts you out, are you wrong for choosing the dark? (I started this when I was like 13, and just now decided to continue it. The writing gets better after chapter 3-4. Please bare with me guys. Also, there might be some small grammatical mistakes in the book because English isn't my first language)

[ 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.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen: a gaseous nebula must collapse. So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth. "You think I'm jealous of him?" she asked Evan, and it wasn't rhetorical anymore. "I'm not. I'm jealous of you. Because even after everything, you still believe someone could love you without flinching. And I-I never let myself believe that."

Cassiopeia Black should have been a son. She should have listened to her mother. She should have been born with working ears. She should have unlearned her father's rage. She should have been a better daughter. She should have unfisted her hands and set down the broom. She should have been a Black brother, not just their sister. Cassiopeia Black should have been a son. But she wasn't a son, and that's what made Cassiopeia, Cassy. The queen of Slytherin had always been Bellatrix, but everyone knew that Cassy was their golden girl. At the top of their class for three years, she was also their Quidditch captain. Even when she spent her entire fourth year being bullied by her house, that somehow only certified her even more as their golden girl. She belonged to Slytherin. Even when they despised her. Her twin, Regulus, was perfectly comfortable sitting back and watching his classmates treat her like an unreal being, for good and bad. In fact, he and Sirius both had not concerned themselves with Cassy since their 2nd year. They were the Black Brothers, and she was the Black Daughter; the two hadn't intercepted in three years. Cassy was still getting used to that fact, but she didn't have much time to, especially now in her fifth year when her time was being pulled between Quidditch, two certain Hufflpuff boys and her friends scattered between the houses. Cassy liked to pretend she didn't know how Slytherin perceived her; she was slightly disgusted by it - she had fought far too many of them to idolize her. But at the end of the day, the bruises on her knuckles had faded, and her last name had not. Unfortunately for them, she had yet to take anything at Hogwarts seriously. Sirius let out his trauma in late nights. Regulus bit his tongue and let it sit in his throat. Cassy liked to pretend it had never happened while it lingered like an infection in the back of her mind. But the infection was spreading, and Cassy didn't know what she'd do when it consumed her.

BOOK 1 OF THE CURSED BLOODLINE UNIVERSE Devina Louise Black was born with a name too heavy to carry without consequences.

When strange events begin tying her present to the buried secrets of her family, Devina realises the past never stays buried. Every answer drags her closer to a dangerous truth. Every step pulls her closer to him. What was meant to be a war turns into temptation. What was forbidden becomes inevitable. And in a world where love is a weakness, remembering may be the greatest betrayal of all. An enemies to lovers story MATTHEO RIDDLE x FEM!OC

"I'm sorry, I just... remembered something," she muttered as her fingers traced the scars on her throat. He placed his hands on her shoulders before whispering, "It's just me." "It's just you," she sighed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joanna Potter has always been in the shadow of her older brother and his friends, but when she befriends both of the Black brothers it's more than she bargained for.
