A muggle-born Slytherin whose parents are terrified of her. A pureblood Gryffindor whose parents are disappointed in him. The arrival of her Hogwarts letter was meant to make everything better. Asteria Halloway finally had an explanation for her parents as to why she didn't fit in no matter how hard she tried. She was a witch. However, this did not make anything better. If anything, Asteria's life began to spiral out of control. Her parents feared her magic - troubled by their daughter's powers. Not only that, but the young muggle born girl would soon be sorted into the pureblood supremacist Slytherin House. Here, she would face discrimination day after day, year after year. Sirius Black spends his days pranking. Asteria Halloway spends her days reading. The start of their fifth year at Hogwarts brings with it terrible circumstance. Sirius and Asteria must go behind each other's backs and use the other for their own personal gain. Despite this promised one-time-only deal, the two of them come together and won't be torn apart anytime soon. And this is only the beginning of the unbelievably amazing events that unfolded for Asteria and Sirius. They're in for one wild ride and they're defying stereotypes left, right, and centre.

"When all this is over, we'll be a proper family, you'll see." Sirius Black had given a Marauder's promise to Harry Potter, his one and only godson, and he was desperate to stand by his word... but fate played against them. All it took was one stunning curse and a veil of death, to not only have this promise broken, but also have hearts shattered into shreds. Even before death took him as its own, Sirius was left to suffer everyday more than the one before. He had lost himself a long time ago and carried on from monotonous days and nights with zero will to pull himself back to the land of the living. [Speechless pain and haunting memories possess the ability to take down even the most powerful of all, those who were desperate to keep themselves standing upright.] What could have happened in an alternative universe (AU) -different ending scenario to- the Order of the Phoenix, and what would follow after turning points of events are what brought this story into existence. Will death be cruel enough to seperate godfather from his godson, without giving them the chance to live as a true family, at least for once as promised? Is the threat of death something to be endured only once?

Have you ever wondered about the ancestors of Harry Potter? We all know about the Boy Who Lived, we know about the Marauders but what about the generation before? The generation still recovering from Grindelwald's reign of terror are about to face their Hogwarts years, with a mixture of children from a matter of backgrounds - muggle, pureblood, prejudiced. James Potter's parents were amazing, we know that, because they created such a wonderful son but, like anyone, they had a love story behind all those years of marriage, something that led up to the wonderful love that they shared, a troublesome path of love, hate and trouble. Two teenagers from different families have to fight against the odds to be together, they have to rewrite the stars. Are you ready for that journey? [DISCONTINUED OFFICIALLY AS OF 2022]
