How do you get over the loss of a loved one? People tell you that it will get better. Acquaintances offer you words of support. Strangers who were never in your life before find it their duty to try to be apart of it and fill the hole the loss left. Yet, none of that works. Loss changes you until suddenly you aren't the same person you were before, as if those who passed were a critical part of you. And nearly no one can help you heal. Not for a while. Until one person finds their way into your life, one person who could change anything and everything you needed to change. Until one person finds a way to consume all of your thoughts so that none of the negative ones are left. Until one person takes the time to give you time to fix yourself, because God knows no one else will. Until one person loves you more firmly than anyone ever has and makes the stars seem dark in comparison to them. Until one person makes you love them, and every scar on their face, freckle on their nose, and imperfection that makes them even more perfect. Only then will you truly be healed. At least, enough to go on. ~~~ I do not own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does. This is simply an extent of her realm in my mind. However, I do own the idea for the story.

It hurts for Liesel Pendragon to be the only Hufflepuff in the family full of chivalrous Gryffindors. What makes matters worse, is that she wanted to be a Slytherin. She had no heart, she had to fake a smile and laughed with no emotion. The poetess admired the Slytherins, but a certain Black made her want to throw something. She also wanted to release the fire in her heart and kiss him. She was the fading star, slowly slipping into the darkness, but she did not want her paramour to go into the darkness with her, for they do not know the unknown. The Dark Mark on his arm realized that she was the one supposed to be the light; not him. We were all fools when it comes to love, but this was not love. This was domination.

"What did you get on the test, Archord?" "Something higher than your IQ, Black." in which the resident 'good slytherin' gets more than she bargained for after a certain trip to Hogsmeade, which changes her life forever... - [ ©copyright 2017 || marauuuders ] [ as of 06/09/18 onwards... #1 in maraudersfanfiction #14 in regulusblack #27 in maraudersera #36 in originalcharacter ]

Since the time she was a young girl, Éponine Rosier has learned the importance of marrying a respectable pureblood and not trusted to make the decision on her own, she finds herself arranged in a marriage with a boy she hardly knows. Throughout her childhood, she's had very limited interactions with the boy by the name of Regulus Black, despite being in the same year and the same House as him. Éponine is the type of person that enjoys the quiet company of herself, filling her time with reading or horseback riding on her family's land and Regulus has been known to never go out of his way to be social. Fearful that the marriage will later on result in nothing but failure, the parents of the teens decide to force the interaction between the two. Éponine finds herself at Twelve Grimmauld Place the summer before she is to start her fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, away from her family and home. Initially, their introduction is awkward, full of long bouts of silence and the avoidance of eye contact. They are nothing more than strangers. Yet, as time passes, words are exchanged, memories are created and shared. A love emerges between the two that was meant to be unbreakable. A love story meant for the books to be passed along for generations, however, it takes a tragic turn as the young lives are forced to face the darkness that wants to consume them whole.

Harry is enraged, Ron is confused, and Hermione really just wants to have a normal year for the first time in her life. But with a mysterious creature from the woods appears far too often to be a coincidence and a tense relationship with her parents, Hermione realizes all too quickly that her life is never going to be anything except odd.

Perhaps we are just kings, Who once were promised gold. Perhaps we are just boys, Who never got to grow old. Perhaps we are just men, Sent to fight in somebody's war. Perhaps we are not anything, Though we once were something more. "We're so distracted by how things end, we usually forget how beautiful the beginning was. Ours was beautiful, don't you think?" This is their story. It's the story of four boys who were promised the world; it's the story of their reign and their demise, with no distractions at all. It's the story of how gold doesn't shine forever, and how youth is only temporary. It's the story of a war and a life that took everything from four boys who gave their all. This is the story of The Marauders.

[Book One: Brotherhood Series] There was no mystery to Milo Fleamont Potter, even if he was not the Boy-Who-Lived. He was the boy-who-survived. He was the boy that lost his parents and in many ways, lost his brother the same night that Voldemort attacked the Potter household. He was not graced with a scar, he did not bore a striking resemblance to his parents, but he held their stride and their attitude, even at a young age. A prophecy was not thrust upon him, but he had his own destiny to fulfill. [Cover by -voidlegends ]
