"Merry meet. I am Cordelia of the Most Inbreded and Snobbish House of Rosier." Contrary to popular belief, Sirius Black wasn't the biggest disgrace. No, that title rightfully belonged to Cordelia Rosier. (Secretly, of course). ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In the Rosier household, words such as 'blood-traitor' and 'muggle-lover' is spat on with hatred. There is no bigger betrayal than thinking that the 'mud-bloods' are worth having magic. By the age of seven, Cordelia Rosier was quite sure that she was one of the blood-traitors that her family detests. Don't get her wrong, she loves her family with all her heart, soul and being and she wouldn't trade her parents and older brother for anything in the world, but there are just a few things that she doesn't necessarily agree on with them. Opinions on blood-purity happen to be one of them. That doesn't mean she'll admit to them about it though. Like she mentioned, she loves her family and she doesn't want to disappoint them. But there is no reason she can't do both, right? Surely, there must be some way that she doesn't have to make it publicly known about her thoughts on blood-purity while still keeping true to her personal beliefs, right? When Cordelia met Sirius Black one evening, there couldn't have been two children who became faster friends. Join Cordelia as she navigates through school and life in general, discovering the true meaning of deception as she plays a game of 'blood-traitor, 'blood-traitor not' with everybody and realises the difference between 'want to' and 'have to' But that all comes much later. After all, she's currently only a first-year, and right now, there are more important things to worry about like classes, homework and why somebody is trying to kill all the Hufflepuffs.

Much to Horace Slughorn's dismay, Artemis Potter and Tom Riddle seem to have drifted apart a little despite having spent the summer holidays with each other. So, of course, it is upto him to bring them closer once more. If only his superb match-making skills would stop back-firing. ~*~*~*~ Tom Riddle had mostly positive feelings about his potions partner, Artemis Potter. Somedays, he wanted them to hold-hands and walk in the ancient corridors of Hogwarts, making puns and fondly arguing. Somedays, he just wanted to sit on a sofa and stare at her as she drew him with charcoal, thanking whatever deity existed beyond the mortal plane that he was fortunate enough to be with her, despite his faults. Somedays, he wished the moments he spent with her could be expanded to last forever. Then, there were some days when he had to swallow the urge to blurt out that he loved her and those were the days that he adored the most. Sequel to All Is Fair (please don't start this book, "Fire and Gold", without reading "All Is Fair" as it contains major spoilers) Book 2 of the duology.

In Horace Slughorn's defence, he couldn't have known that all this would happen. All he had wanted to do was play match-maker between his two favourite students, Tom Riddle and Artemis Potter. ~*~*~*~ Tom Riddle had very mixed feelings about his potions partner, Artemis Potter. Somedays, he wanted to repeatedly use 'silencio' on her. Somedays, he just wanted to kill her. Somedays, he wished she never existed. Then, there were somedays that he remembered every little thing he loved about her and those were the days that he detested the most.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
