,, Have you ever loved? So much that you would gladly die from the pain of it?" ''Now she was facing me and I just kept looking at her. No. I never did. I read and wrote about it, watched and met people who did. But I wasn't meant for this. I have always been an expedient, nothing more and nothing less. I create the stories, the beginnings and the end of them. I have to live with the truth that there will be no one who would write mine and I inhale that truth with every morning and every evening of my life.'' Nevisa is a writer. Not the type of one who immediately comes to mind. She has the ability to create stories for strangers, her clients, always writing down their desires and needs and making them come true. While she seems to have the ultimate gift and power, her own life is fractured by isolation and restriction, controlled by ' The Rules'. At first she rests in the arms of monotony and indolence. That is until she meets Rayon. Despite going against the rules , Nevisa starts to create a love story of her own, accompanied by a fatalistic battle that will change her life forever.

❝ You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.❞ Tegwen Gittins nearly always stuck to the advice of minding her own business, but the one time she didn't, it nearly cost her life. A freshly made prefect, Tegwen was only making her nightly rounds through the castle when she catches her fellow peers, Newt Scamander and Leta Lestrange out of bed long past curfew. Curious as to what they were up to, she intrudes on their midnight plans and sets the two into a panic. What happened next was only said to be an accident and yet to Tegwen, it was a moment that changed everything. Years later, Tegwen is established with her own career and happily living in New York City. Deep down, there is still a sense of bitterness and anger she holds over the incident in Hogwarts, but it's something only a few people know about and she rather keep it that way. She believes she has everything going for her with her life finally in proper order when suddenly, Newt Scamander blows into town. It's been quite some time since the two have seen each other face to face and it is not a happy reunion, especially on Tegwen's behalf. Old wounds are reopened, but this time, there is hope that they can be healed. [Book One] [FBAWTFT]

He grabbed her transfiguration book from her hand and held it up in the air teasingly. "No, Sirius give that back," she said. She tried to grab the book from him, but he lifted it out of her reach. "Come on, let's go." Book in hand, he began strolling through the now nearly empty corridor. With a growl, Thea followed him, her arms crossed over her chest. "Give it back." "No," he called back to her. "Please, Sirius!" He turned around, his eyebrows furrowed together. "Please?" he said. "Sirius? What's the matter with you today?" She looked down, avoiding his eyes. "Curse me!" he continued, edging closer to her. "Hex me! Go on, yell at me! Get your book back! You never let me push you around!" She stayed silent, her nose tingling and eyes becoming misty. "Talk to me," he said. She jumped, not realizing just how close he had gotten to her. She could feel his breath on her face, his body smelled clean, like soap. He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head so she had to look at him. "Ditch class with me."
