very very slow updates but hope to continue - When Diana Montgomery stumbles into Sirius Black in the middle of a dark pantry one summer night 1975, the last thing she expects is to be swept into a hectic group of trouble-making friends, crowned #1 foe for many a fawning fangirl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, and most of all thrown into a war of rising tensions, forced to choose sides between the friends she holds most dear and the frowning family waiting for her at home. To make matters even more complicated, Diana's new Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, seems to have taken a certain interest in the girl who always has a slight tremor in her hands and who houses meandering Bowtruckles in her free time. Will Padfoot's Cinderella bring joy to the lives of her fellow Gryffindors and break down the icy walls surrounding both her and Sirius's hearts or will dark secrets and deep grief lead to a crumbling calamity? - Disclaimer: There will be underage drinking, smoking, mentions of abuse, and sexual themes in this story!! - Unedited & In Progress

The Orlov family name was one which struck fear into the heart of many a Russian; muggle and wizard folk alike. To any other, it was just a name which, after the initial pique of interest at it's foreign sound, would blend into the background like the rest. Unless, of course, you yourself came from one of the sacred pure blood families. Russian or not, you would come to fiercely respect the Orlov dynasty. However, this seemingly flawless family, not unlike all others, has its secrets. One in particular that could destroy not only the reputation of the Orlovs, but one that could end the family's succession.

{𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟱} There are some stories that are told, but some others are just meant to be buried away. We have all heard the heroic story of Regulus Black; a Pureblood wizard who joined the Dark Lord at a young age, only to see the darkness within. So he finds one of his Horcruxes and sacrifices himself in hopes of destroying it. Or at least, this is just a small part of a story which we've never been told before; a tale that other than Regulus, only a girl named Alexandra Starling could've known.

[Book One: Brotherhood Series] There was no mystery to Milo Fleamont Potter, even if he was not the Boy-Who-Lived. He was the boy-who-survived. He was the boy that lost his parents and in many ways, lost his brother the same night that Voldemort attacked the Potter household. He was not graced with a scar, he did not bore a striking resemblance to his parents, but he held their stride and their attitude, even at a young age. A prophecy was not thrust upon him, but he had his own destiny to fulfill. [Cover by -voidlegends ]
