"Two best friends, a trip through a mystical land, and a stranger that will change it all." Trying to figure out if she chose the right career, dealing with a broken heart, keeping up with uni papers and work...

So add a whole bunch of family secrets, a trip overseas with her best friend, and some eerie flashbacks, and you get a hell of an adventure. [This is a new adult/magical realism novel] -------- FINISHED STORY! ! Aprox 100.000 words Warning: Contains coarse language, and non-explicit adult scenes. NOTE: After writing this, I noticed a whole lot of problems in my own writing. There are issues I opened up in this tale because I wanted to dig deeper, and never did. I noticed my own internalized phobias when reading, and please, if anyone feels offended or triggered about any of it, call me out. I'm trying to do better. It might have bad rep or offensive content that I'm looking into. This story will be completely re-written once I figure some things out. Also, I know the culture explored in this book (maori culture) is not my own, but after living for many years in New Zealand, I feel that it's part of me, and by no means did I mean this to be offensive to anyone. I hope it's not. I intended this as a "tribute" to a culture that I found rich, enlightening, and that accepted me with open arms.

A small paved road in Diagon Alley leads to Potter's Herbs and Misc., where Remus Lupin buys his (surprise, surprise!) herbs and miscellaneous wizarding supplies every weekend. Only one day, he's met with a rather vexatious surprise of cigarette smoke and dreamy grey eyes waiting for him by the name of Sirius Orion Black.

Despite his monthly issue, Remus couldn't complain about much. He has two parents who love him dearly, two best mates he can count on for anything, and a girlfriend of roughly 6 years who adores him. Everything in his life is perfect. Isn't it? But the picture perfect life of Remus Lupin is just that. An image of who he is supposed to be. Not who he is. The cookie cutter world he has always known comes crumbling down when he befriends Sirius Black. Remus must decide if he wants to remain in the safety of his world, or to live in a world with Sirius Black. A life with no control. *only 2 mature parts*

Maybe if Sirius Black wished for it hard enough, Remus Lupin would be his. If only his family wasn't caught up in an old rivalry resurfacing... (Marauders era Hogwarts reimagined with no Voldy cause... no one wants Voldy messing with the boys - I just want them to have the happy ending they deserve) WARNING : GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, SELF-HARM AND MENTIONS OF SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
