In the shadow of the Black name, Cassiopeia searches for her own light. Between a sister who drifts away, Maraudeurs who challenge everything she believes, she wavers between duty and defiance. At Hogwarts, as the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, Cassiopeia must choose her side. (James Poter x Cassiopeia Black) BLACK SISTERS

~ no grave can hold my body down- i'll crawl home to her ~ - hozier Athanasia lived an isolated life, far beyond the rolling hills of Scotland, in a vast and shadowed castle rose. Locals spoke of it in hushed voices, telling travellers to turn back if they valued their lives. Those who ignored the warnings often. Many said it was no place to raise a child, too cold, too dark, too steeped in old magic and fear. And yet, behind its looming walls, Athanasia was loved. Truly, deeply loved. Within the castle's quiet halls lived warmth that no outsider ever saw. It was the only home she had ever known, a place she believed she would never leave, nor want to. That certainty shattered one night when a witch arrived beneath in the early mornings. In her hand was a single letter, small, ordinary in appearance, yet heavy with promise. A letter that would awaken Athanasia's magic, pull her toward friendship and curiosity, and lead her, unknowingly, toward love. A letter that would change everything. ~~~~~ Harry Potter Universe ~ Marauders Era James Potter X Oc Athanasia Acheron stated: January 8th 2026

James Potter x Fem!OC Marauders Era / Wizarding World crimsonharts 2025.

James Potter has been in love with Aurora Lupin since second year - the day she marched into Hogwarts, insulted his broomstick, and called him "Potter" like it was a bad word. Now in sixth year, he's still helplessly smitten with his best friend's little sister. The only people who know? Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and unfortunately, Remus Lupin - who is both deeply concerned and quietly resigned to the fact that James is an idiot with no self-control. To protect the delicate peace (and his kneecaps), James keeps up the world's worst cover act: pretending he's still obsessed with Lily Evans so no one suspects the truth - especially Aurora, who would absolutely roast him alive. It's going great. If "great" means losing his mind every time she walks into a room. If "great" means blushing like a fool when she says "Potter, please" with that tired, amused little smirk. He writes her notes he never sends. Lets her win at wizard chess. Stares at her across the Great Hall like a lovesick idiot. And the worst part? She has no idea. But secrets don't stay buried forever - especially not when Sirius Black gets bored, Peter starts scheming, and Remus keeps threatening to hex him every time he sighs her name. James can outfly a Bludger. But can he survive falling for the one girl he's not supposed to love? {James potter x Oc} {golden retriever vibes} {mauraders era}

She was born in shadow. He was born in light. And somewhere between bloodlines and rebellion, they found each other. Diana Yaxley is everything a Pureblood daughter shouldn't be-defiant, sharp-tongued, quietly burning with a hunger for something beyond her family's twisted legacy. Raised in the cold halls of Yaxley Manor, she learns early that obedience is survival, and softness is weakness. James Potter is everything she's been taught to hate-loud, brave, half-mad with Gryffindor fire. The boy who laughs too easily. Who questions everything. Who sees her, even when she tries to disappear. Diana Yaxley was never meant to wear scarlet and gold. Cursed with a name and bloodline she never asked for, she defied fate-and ended up in Gryffindor. James Potter is loud, golden, and maddeningly in love with her. And Diana? Diana hates him. But Hogwarts has its own plans. A story of fire, legacy, and the war within. Enemies to lovers. Dark pasts. Magic. Blood. Fate.
