{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)

Cicely Beaufort had never needed to prove who she was. When your name was stitched into the tapestries of wizarding history, legacy did the talking. Blonde, blue-eyed, kind to her core - she was the kind of girl who made sunbeams look dull. She laughed like clinking silver spoons and carried the old-world elegance of someone raised on quiet wealth and golden rules. Hufflepuff's sweetheart. Sweet as honey, soft as early spring. And then came Matteo Riddle. He was shadow where she was light. All sharp angles, dark eyes, and a name that hadn't been spoken aloud in the Great Hall for years. A warning in human form. Too much history. Too many secrets. Too many things better left untouched. He wasn't the kind of boy you fell for. And Cicely Beaufort wasn't the kind of girl who strayed from what was proper. But Hogwarts had other plans.

At Hogwarts the stubborn Isobel Hallow wants nothing to do with James Potter, the overconfident Gryffindor who won't stop chasing her. But what starts as playful flirtation grows into a slow, heartfelt connection as James proves he's more than just charm, and Isobel begins to see the loyalty and kindness beneath his bravado. Amid Quidditch matches, pranks, and the looming shadows of a darkening world, their love story unfolds-built on persistence, trust, and the courage to let someone in.
