Volume 1: Pickpocketing Living in secret and stealing to eat is a hard life , but it's all Kuro has ever known. Fear and necessity honed him from a young age into the finest young thief in in the wizard kingdoms. Nobody can hide forever, though, and a run of poor luck lands Kuro in a place where his quick hands and quiet feet count for nothing: Avalon Academy, school of magic. Out of his depth and unable to escape, can Kuro find a place among the other misfits at the school, or will his past return to ruin the one chance he has to leave his life in the shadows?

Lily Evan's younger sister, Rose, met half of the self proclaimed "Marauders" before she had even set foot on the Hogwarts grounds, and through her years there could never quite shake them. Until she begins to watch the one she had fallen for do them same for another. A LONG ride, some sirius/oc (and reggie/oc) and eventual wolfstar, if you felt for Grant while reading atyd and like both Black brothers this is for you!! The title comes from a song that inspired me for the character of Rose. "And I try my best To prove that nothing's out to get you" From The Bug Collector by Haley Heynderickx **disclaimer I do not own HP or the characters, Only Rose
