"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." "Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that.

Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

❝I think-I think I'm in love. I know it sounds crazy, but I really think she's the one.❞ ••••• Naomi Serdeys is peculiar, that was for sure. Despite being friendly, Naomi always has her head in the clouds. For that, people tend to stay away from the pretty blonde. With no family and a terminal illness, poor Naomi believes she's reached the end. Even though she's quite kind to others, she feels that life just doesn't want to return the favour. Though, there is something about the lollipop-obsessed girl that seems to draw in four special boys. Four marauders. ••••• Marauders era Sirius Black love story Sirius x OC

{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟰} By the time the first Wizarding War came to an end, Jenna Potter had lost everyone she had and the love of her life was sent to Azkaban for a crime he hadn't even committed. And so, she ran away in order to forget all about her painful past. But after twelve years, Jenna comes upon a news, stating that the infamous murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped prison. Only learning that her nephew was still alive and known all over the world as The Boy Who Lived, Jenna moves back to England to fulfill her duty as Harry Potter's godmother. But in hopes of unraveling the truth and proving that Sirius had been innocent all along, she goes undercover as Crookshanks. And so, with the help of Padfoot, they embark upon a new journey together, never intending to let one another go as the promise of a second wizarding war arrives.

{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 3} It is a known fact that Crookshanks was helping Sirius Black to capture Pettigrew in his rat form, back in Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts.
