"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.

Sirius snaps, barking out irritably, "Because shes a creature that turns men into blithering fools." Her voice is even when she asks, "Speaking from personal experience, Black?" ********************************************************* Gwenyth Whitlock knew what being a Veela was like at Hogwarts, but now that she looked like one she was wholly unprepared. The only person more shocked by her appearance was Sirius Black. The Marauders had spent years trying to successfully prank the Ravenclaw girl, but when she comes back to school transformed and Sirius finally gets a reaction out of her, he finds his priorities shifting. ~In which Gwen and Sirius decide that perhaps they do have somethings in common~ #1 Remus Lupin 3/23/2021 #1 Hogwarts 3/26/2021 #1 Marauders 3/30/2021 #1 James Potter 3/30/2021 #1 Dumbledore 3/31/2021 #1 Harry Potter 4/3/2021 #1 Sirius Black 4/6/2021 {{This is my second ever story-and it's a long one!!

She didn't know that she shared blood with one of the darkest wizarding families the magical world had known, and she most certainly didn't know what she was getting into when she decided to talk to the handsome red-haired prefect in her house when she got to Hogwarts. 2. Bill Weasley is just trying to get out of Hogwarts. He has a set group of friends, his little siblings to look out for, and a great girlfriend, but it's not enough. What Bill wants is adventure, and the last place he expects to find it is with the strange new girl in Gryffindor with the tumultuous home life and a tendency to get around the rules with endless charm and more than a bit of luck. 3. To him, Eleanora is just the funny kid who stays at his parents' house for the summers and to her, Bill is just her best friends' kind older brother, but as they grow older, it becomes more apparent that they are meant to have bigger roles in each other's lives than just this. author note: I understand concerns about the age gap and I promise absolutely nothing even remotely romantic happens between them until they are both above legal age. If you want to skip to when they do start to become romantically involved, check out the second book in the series; "Love, Bill." enjoy!

Orm Marius wears the crown of Atlantis, but beneath the king lies a man ruled by fire, ambition, and a love he cannot tame. Y'Lyraea Xebella Challa, or Lyra, knows him better than anyone, yet even she cannot calm the storms that rage within him-or the currents that threaten to pull them apart. Amid betrayal, war, and secrets that could drown them both, their bond is tested at every turn. In a kingdom built on power, will love be their anchor-or will the tides of destiny tear them under, especially when Orm's half-brother, Arthur Curry, makes an appearance?
