Eleanor Snape has always been told she looks like her Uncle, Severus Snape, but, she has never meet him. This all changes when her father dies. The Ministry of Magic puts her in the hands of her Uncle, and finally she can attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, something her father had never let her do. Soon, she finds that love can be found in even the least expected places when Draco Malfoy befreinds her along with his gang of other Slytherins, the shy Vincent Crabbe, the fun loving Gregory Goyle, and the abnoxious Pansy Parkison. Her life goes pretty smothly, with the exeption of remedial potions, until the murderer Sirius Black breaks into the school, making a flood of horrid nightmares take over her life. Complications continue as she finds that Draco's mother dearest hates her, she is punished by being forced to play piono for the Hogwarts Chorus, and Sarah Beth Cumberland, the neice of Ministry member Dolores Jane Umbridge, makes the goal to make Eleanors life as bad as she can. Throughout the year, Eleanor keeps asking the same question: Will things ever get better?

Alexandria was on her own when her parents died, but thankfully she was taken in. She thought she was like the others growing up, but the only problem she had was that she didn't shift when everyone else did. When she does though, everyone finds out that she is not what they thought she was. She was a black leopard, possibly the last one left. Not being able to accept her for who she is, they exile her from the pride. She is once again on her own, how will she survive this time? (Cover by xxdrkluvxx)
