"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." "Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. "But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. "But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

After the Second Wizarding War, Eighth Year student and budding journalist Gabriella Ainsley is promised her dream job at The Daily Prophet if she successfully completes an assignment - interview and get the scoop on the Malfoy Family. Who was Narcissa Malfoy's first love? How did Lucius and Narcissa meet? What was the REAL reason their precious son and fellow Eighth Year student Draco Malfoy worked for one of the darkest wizards of all time? The longer she spends on this project, the quicker she discovers there is more than meets the eye to the haughty, flaxen-haired family. She also begins to find her loyalties tested: between her boyfriend, Montague, and her growing attraction for the young Malfoy heir; and - more importantly - between publishing lies to keep her coveted job, or telling the truth. But what IS the truth about the Malfoys? The beautiful book cover is made by the wonderful @lumireii!!!

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.

He, a double spy, a man as complex as the magic that surrounds him. A Master of Potions and of Dark Arts, and a prisoner of his own past.

James Potter was many things. A good athlete, a loyal friend, and Gryffindor's golden boy. For Victoria Atkinson, he was everything she hated in others. He embodied the values that have been impressed on her since she was little. And that's exactly why she disliked the young wizard. For James Potter, Victoria Atkinson was all he needed in life. She was everything he had appreciated and admired since childhood. And that's exactly why James couldn't stop his heart from beating faster every time she was around. But it looked like James Potter not only had a talent for Quidditch but also for reminding the girl he's been in love with for years why she doesn't like him. And so the story of her life became much more complicated than it should have been with the end-to-end impact of factors like James Potter and many other circumstances. But for Victoria, the biggest burden will be the same that had been her whole life. Balancing between what her family expected and her own values. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - James/OC Marauders Era All the characters, except for OCs, rightfully belong to J.K.
