"When did you find astronomy so interesting?" "When I found something worth looking at." [Marauders Era]

Harry was told there were four Marauders. That was a lie. Harry was told there were three unregistered animagi. That was a lie. In fact there was another. One that was never told. No one knows why, but maybe that’s because to Sirius, it was too much of a painful story to reveal. Maybe something had happened to the Secret Marauder, but whatever it was, Sirius lied, and he lied because of love. http://maddening-the-unhelpful.tumblr.com/post/87288455705/because-if-people-were-books-she-was-a-library

"Her eyes, they're so.. green." James smiled dreamily. Sirius smirked. "Yeah, you're definitely going to win her over with eloquent phrases like that." - Olivia has hated James Potter for as long as she can remember, and she is sure that the feeling is absolutely mutual. There is no way in hell that they are ever going to fancy each other, or at least that's what she thinks. As they enter their last year at Hogwarts, everything starts to change. One thing leads to another, and the both of them will soon realise that the lines between love and hate aren't as clear as they seem to be.

"Do you not have the stomach for this, Miss Lippincott?"

"I found him in a lover; when his hair falls in his face, and his hands so cold they shake." Octavia Knight is a bright young witch born into a family of pure-bloods. She's known as a blood-traitor, and she doesn't want to associate herself with people who believe blood status defines a person and their worth. In her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she meets four boys who instantly take her in and show her affection in which her family couldn't begin to comprehend. She's in her sixth year now, and what happens when people start noticing how she hugs a certain boy for a few seconds longer than she does with her other friends? Or how her eyes turn a light pink when she looks at him for too long?

❝He was stuck in a rut and a wasteland; she was drowned in swamps below her feet.❞ Savannah and Sirius never got along during their Hogwarts days, even though they were always around each other due to common friends. When they were named Harry's god-parents, they learned to get along. Savannah's trust in Sirius was tested when Lily and James were murdered, but it stood strong; and even though she had no way to prove Sirius's innocence, she believed it wholeheartedly. So much has changed in the past twelve years -- but when Sirius breaks out of Azkaban, Savannah's loyalty is what saves him from going back... and hidden feelings that had been swept under the rug for twelve long years are finally confessed. © I do not own the Harry Potter series or any of the characters therein; they belong to their creator, J.K.

[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.
