She's the fifth Marauder. He's Sirius Black. They're best friends, partners in crime, and absolutely not in love... yet. But with every prank, every late-night adventure, and every stolen glance, that line between friendship and something more starts to blur. And with a war closing in, they might not have forever to figure it out. Spoiler alert. Yes, they do fall for eachother. And yes, it will be delicious. *This story is a slowburn with mature themes*

Sirius Black lived in darkness. Not the kind you could see- but the kind that lingered in silence, that made even the brightest laughter feel hollow. Then there was her. Aurora. She wasn't the sun. She didn't burn or blind. She was softer than that. She was dawn. The first fragile light after an endless night, the quiet promise that morning might come.

She was born with a name whispered like a prophecy - Selene Vaelora. She has always known that darkness runs in her family. She just never expected it to feel like home. Sirius Black didn't follow rules. He broke them just to see what came after. He didn't fall in love with her. Not at first. He fell into her, with all the weight of a boy trying to outrun his name. Some stories don't end in flames-some just fade, quiet and unforgettable.
