My writing is gross and total cringe at the beginning but it gets wayyy better I can promise you that. --- It's eighth year at Hogwarts and Harry just can't stand to stay in that dark old house any longer. He goes to school and finds that without a distraction like Voldemort, Harry is becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy. Draco just seems to be acting off. Draco Malfoy couldn't stand to be at the manor anymore. It only reminded him of what he had become. Of what his family had become while He was there. When he comes back to school for eighth year, he is just falling apart. He tries his best to use his Malfoy Mask™ to hide what's going on, and it works mostly, the only person it doesn't work on is the one person he wishes he could avoid. Harry Potter.

Anna Lupin can't wait to teach with her husband in Harry's third year at Hogwarts, but everything is not all magic and unicorns at Hogwarts. With Sirius Black's escape, Anna is still unsure if she thinks he's guilty. Severus and Remus must compete for their favorite redhead's attention. On top of this, the Lupins must do everything they can to keep Remus' secret. How will Sirius react to Remus and Anna's marriage? How will Harry react to finding out his aunt was a marauder? And will Anna be able to restrain herself from strangling Malfoy? Or will someone else have to hold her back? Again. ( I do not own J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter! And make sure to read "The Other Aunt" first)
