Ella Kierston, Minerva McGonagall's goddaughter, begins her 6th year at Hogwarts as the Wizarding World is on the high alert for the notorious Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black. There is much more to Ella than meets the eye, something that quickly catches Remus Lupin's notice. Maybe it was the hints of aristocratic beauty in her high cheekbones or how quickly her soft smile would transform into a dazing smirk, but there was something about the Kierston girl that reminded him of someone he used to know. Join Ella on a whirlwind term, in which she discovers the truth about her family, her deepest fears, and forbidden stirrings for a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, all while trying to keep Harry Potter safe from an escaped murderer. *It is important to note that I do NOT have any ownership or rights of the Harry Potter Universe! All credit for original characters, wizarding world, and plotlines of the books go to the creative genius of J.K. Rowling. I only reserve the rights to Ella Kierston and her plot line! This is a slow-burn fic focusing on the relationship that develops between Remus and his 6th year student, Ella.

☆☾ Olivia Marat hates everything about her and her past. This is why she spends most of her time imagining herself to be someone else. She reads to escape, writes to feel something real, and daydreams until reality blurs. And she is close to failing her final year at Hogwarts. With solitude as his companion, Remus Lupin returns to Hogwarts to teach, hoping the familiar stone walls might offer a sense of peace-or at least distraction from everything he's lost. Little did these two lonely souls know they would find solace in stolen glances, late-night cigarettes shared by the fire, and the soothing rhythm of rain against the windows. What starts as an unlikely bond quickly becomes impossible to ignore. And even harder to resist. ☆☾ "It is when we love our sin that we are irremediably damned", Olivia whispers. The rain pours against the window. "Then it looks like I am", Remus answers, exhaling the smoke of his lips. Passion sometimes overcomes the forbidden. That's what makes it so tempting. ☆☾ #1 in lupin #1 in remuslupin #1 in tonks #1 in siriusblack

I looked away quickly. He stood from his chair, walking closer to me. "Does it not hurt to chew on it all the time?" "No, it doesn't," I said, looking to my feet. It was too difficult to make eye contact with him, especially when he stood so close to me. "I don't touch my eyebrow," he said quietly. "I touch the scar." I nodded, feeling my mouth go dry. "We all have our quirks," he said. "And I feel yours is more destructive than mine, Miss Y/L/N." "It's not destructive, not really. I know what hurts and what doesn't," I rambled, peeking up at him, finding his eyes heavy on my face. I averted my eyes. "Look at you," he muttered. "You can't even look at me." I felt as though my entire body was trembling as his hand grazed mine. "I thought you weren't shy, Miss Y/L/N," he said quietly. ••• How do you describe perfection? Imperfections that you wouldn't mind dealing with for the rest of your life; ad infinitum. Y/N Y/L/N is the newest hire at Hogwarts. Having graduated from Ilvermorny, she struggles to find a teaching job. After all, the demand for Latin teachers isn't all that high. But she manages to secure a job at Hogwarts where she'll be a teacher's assistant. Little does she know, she'll be a whole lot more. Immediately, she is drawn to the newest professor at Hogwarts, a kind if not sullen man. The job that she only took out of necessity becomes something that she wouldn't trade for anything. She'd do it forever if she could; ad infinitum. *** Thank you to @TheHalfbloodBlack for correcting the Latin titles!
