Toujours Pur. Always Pure. A phrase Sirius Black was taught to value. After hearing those words muttered constantly in his youth, he never once doubted his parents, hanging onto every last detail that left their mouths. Believing they were always right. But starting Hogwarts changed him. Being sorted into Gryffindor changed him. Toujours Pur. Always Pure. Maybe Sirius does agree with the Black family Motto. Just not when it's referring to blood. 03/01/2020 - #1 in Wolfstar

Lyall Lupin had once told his son this: Love's not all that complicated. It tells you who it's after and it either gets what it wants or destroys you. And he had never thought it would ever apply to him because let's be honest, who would love an animal like Remus?

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs certainly feel quite accomplished after completing what they dub as the Marauder's Map. A map designed to show every classroom, hall, corridor, and even secret passageway of the Hogwarts Castle but also capable of identifying every person, ghost, and poltergeist roaming about. Or so they thought. It takes Elspeth Hayes casually strolling down the corridor one afternoon for the boys to realise that she's not showing up on the map and they want to figure out why. But Elspeth is not about to give away her secrets so easily, after all, a girl has to have her secrets to keep the boys on their toes.
