Ophelina Averinton bound by duty, burdened by power, and chained to a fate she cannot escape. James Potter is wild, reckless, destined for a war she was meant to fight. Their paths should have never crossed, yet fate binds them through love, betrayal, and pain. No matter how far they drift, they are pulled back together, even when the world fights to keep them apart. Like fire and water- forces that should never touch, for they are destined to clash. Yet when the fire blazes too fiercely, it craves the cool embrace of water to soothe its rage. And when the water grows too cold, frozen and still, it longs for the warmth of fire to reignite its flow. In their contrast, they are both the destruction and salvation of each other.

Oh, Ophelia Heaven help the fool who falls in love. ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°★.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆. "Would you...like to hear a story?"

IN WHICH... She doesn't fall in love with one boy- she falls in love with two. One wears sunlight like armor and kisses like a dare. The other moves like a secret and touches like a promise. And somewhere between fire and shadow, she realizes- She was never meant to choose.

OC X SIRIUS BLACK "And here I was trying so hard not to like you. But you're making it very difficult for me now. For I'll tell you a secret, you Evans girl, the house of yellow has always been my favorite one. And although most pout and protest when I say I'll put them there, lucky-and proud-they should be, to get to call the house of Helga their own." And just before shouting his answer, Daisy swears she heard the Hat mumble, "May Godric help them all..." "HUFFLEPUFF!!"

"You're just a spineless, big-headed, moron Potter. Why on earth would I go out with a fleabag like you?" "It's just, James Potter!" says Sirius, leaning casually back in his chair, "Beaten by a girl!" "So you're back?" he smiles knowingly at her from the hospital wing bed. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* Hogwarts. The year, 1976. Before Harry Potter. Before Voldemort was defeated. Before the Second Wizarding War. Before the Marauders, Lily Evans, Severus Snape and so many others had died. This is back in the school days, where life may be seen as simple, yet growing increasingly complicated, choosing paths that will change their future. Choosing their sides. And not all will be on the same side. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* This is my take on what could have happened during the time of the Marauders, Lily, Marlene , Alice and Snape. Watch out for mystery, arguments, unrequited love and choices that can make or break relationships during the fifth year of Hogwarts for these characters. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* I have tried to connect my head canons with the little we have about the Marauders. This is my first ever book so any comments, votes or ideas to improve are greatly appreciated. Anyway enough of me rambling, if you've read all the way down here, um thanks, you might want to actually open the book now... and yeah. I hope you enjoy it! - NJCG (Around 22,500 words)

― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆

BOOK #1 Serendipity (n) finding something good without looking for it - Marauders Era Fanfiction - Eva Taylor. Sixth year. First female keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Paints to escape. Number one Beatles fan in all of Hogwarts. Can't walk down the stairs without tripping. Proud beyond belief of her Muggle-Born status. Unknowingly the subject of Sirius Black's affections. - He leaned onto the counter and smirked, letting a bit of hair fall into his face and seductively watching her. "You think I have the charm to pull something like that off?" She blushed unintentionally. "I- I think you could charm the socks off of Voldemort himself if you tried." "Maybe that's how we win the war," he said jokingly. "We've been going about it all wrong. Dumbledore can just send me. I'll walk up to Voldemort's door, wink at him, and my smooth charisma and devastatingly good looks will have him dead on the ground by dawn." - 1st Place winner of the 1989 Harry Potter Awards for the Marauders Era! - Rankings: 12 in #maraudersfanfiction 2 in #siriusblack 4 in #themarauders 1 in #marauders 13 in #harrypotter 1 in #peterpettigrew 2 in #remus 1 in #padfoot 1 in #minervamcgonagall 1 in #jkrowling
