{Marauders Era - Post War} {James Potter x OC} {Second Chance Romance} "I'm a potter," Fawn announces, her head inclining in the direction of the floorboards suddenly creaking very loudly. James is rearing back, his eyes growing round like bludgers and his hand coming up to clasp his throat, his voice box, hoping he sounds less embarrassingly taken aback than he feels. "I beg your pardon?" A clear, bright strand of orange emerges, betraying Fawn's slight amusement when she clarifies, "I'm a potter. I make pottery." ***************** 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 James Potter reluctantly returns to Hogwarts three years after war end and happens to stumble across the brightness, the colour he lost all sight of. Maybe he wasn't the only one. ***************** (This story may include mature content and emotional triggers that could cause distress towards the reader)

In which Kathryn Walding, well known pure-blooded, sacred twenty-eight witch, hates prejudice just as much as she loves music. Her life had been complicated from the day she was born. Birthed into a family of heartlessness and cruelty, most expected the young witch to continue in her families footsteps. Instead it lead to her secret double life, one that promises death upon discovery. Her chance of survival was already low, further decreasing when she discovers the ancient secret of her blood line that lands her straight into the middle of the war. Making her decision of leaving behind the wizarding world not so clear. "Godric you look bloody different." James uncontrollably stated as his eyes scanned every inch of her face. He was used to the incredibly pristine, almost robotic appearance to the girl. But this, this was a perfected mess of mystery, colour and... seduction. A pink tint took over his own once he realised what he said. "Not bad, no you look good. I mean you always look nice but this-this is just-" "Different?" Kathryn intervened for him, sensing that he'd keep fumbling until she stopped him. "I know." She added, completely unsure what else to say. Her throat felt dry, but she knew that this time it wasn't caused by the booze.

Aurora Knightly had just become Head girl. She had been ecstatic to think that Dumbledore had entrusted her with the position and she had been even more excited to think that she would get to share a dorm with her one of her best friends, Remus Lupin, who she had assumed had received the Head boy position. But, she had assumed wrong because Dumbledore, for some strange, absurd, unknown reason had given the Head boy position to James Potter. The very same Potter who had been chasing after her best friend for the majority of their six previous years at Hogwarts. The James Potter who had barely acknowledged her existence despite the fact that they were friends with a lot of the same people. The James Potter known throughout the school for pranking just about anyone he could and hexing and jinxing anyone he wanted. The same arrogant James Potter who always seemed to show off whenever Lily Evans was around- which was often. And now the very same James Potter who she was now being forced to share a dorm room with. It was going to be a very strange seventh year for Aurora. Read as Aurora and James realise that they both aren't as different as they thought they were and become fast friends. But will they ever realise that they are perfect for one another? Or will Aurora's unwillingness to put her heart on the line and James' long term crush on Lily Evans prevent them from ever becoming more than friends.

"Why do you call me Flower, James?" Valerian asked, still fiddling with the petals of a blooming chrysanthemum. He climbed down to her side to lay down at the sunny grass below her fingertips, hoping she would see the love in his face when he told her. "You were a closed bud when I met you, but then I witnessed you blossom up to me, and I hope you continue to bloom every time I see you." He whispered, lifting his hand to capture the lady's fingers to intertwine with hers. OC x James Potter BOOK ONE COMPLETED; BOOK TWO OUT NOW
