[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.

❝There were chocolate boxes and wrappers around the bed, stuffed under his pillow, and coffee stains on the duvet and sheets. This boy truely was a mess. But Ayla really liked the mess.❞ - Ayla Quill was starting her sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and had everything set for how she wanted it to be. She was expecting it to be the same as it was every year prior; exams and procrastination. But without any warning, her world was flipped upside. War was being rumored and Lord Voldemort was raising in power, Ayla's mother becoming rather fond of his propaganda. With some drama and a pinch of danger, this story is about a girl who falls in love with a werewolf during these troublesome times, and maybe, just maybe, things might turn out right. - |ayla rose quill remus john lupin 1976-1977 sixth year|

They were reckless, she was not. They were loud, she was not. They were graceful, she had lost count of how many times she'd tripped on the stairs. Yet one fireplace and a blackmail-induced deal later, Aylin Novak ended up in the company of the Marauders. (Regular updates)

[COMPLETED] Having just grotesquely lost her mother to a fate of torn flesh and dangling intestines, seventh-year Hogwarts alumni Aspen Lee was left shattered and broken: a Pandora's Box for morbidity, rather than customary teenage spitfire. Her life grew stagnant and her stability was perpetually distorted. Her relationships tainted with sickness and death, remnants of what her mother obstinately left behind. She avoided doltish behavior and lived perpendicular to the 1970s era of frivolous disobedience and instability. Her attempts to stay separate only appeared to attract the most perculiar of sorts. Her life's next drastic turn of events occured in the aftermath of an idiotic stunt perpetuated by the notorious Marauders. Sirius Black, in particular, was a boy on the run. On that run, he ran directly into a particular girl with colorful wristbands and a tear-stained porcelain face. Ergo, both teens divulged into a whole new world of chaos and picturesque exploits that would leave them forever yearning for a shared place in this new complex relationship with life.
