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.

James Potter thought he was destined to fall for Lily Evans-until Eve Brooks came crashing into his life, quite literally. When a rogue bludger knocks the shy Ravenclaw off her broom, James catches her and finds himself captivated by the mystery behind her emerald green eyes. For the first time, he feels something more than infatuation, something deeper than the rivalry with Lily. Eve, however, isn't easily charmed by James's usual cocky demeanour. But James Potter has never been one to back down from a challenge. ⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ "I'm going to make Eve Brooks fall in love with me."
