"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. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. "But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. "But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

Elizabeth Potter loved to irritate people, especially her older brother James and his dumb friends. And Sirius Black really wanted to not let people know that she did not irritate him that much, especially his best friend James. ××× 'Beth?' Sirius looked into her big brown eyes and just knew she was about to do something stupid. She kissed him and in the moment of weakness and complete alcohol intoxication, he kissed her back. Black knew he shouldn't do that. She was James Potter's sister for the fuck's sake. But he wanted to do that for a long time. ××× The story contains mature content! Y'know, a lot of swearing and sexual stuff. Don't say I didn't warn you!

[BOOK ONE OF MISCHIEF MANAGED SERIES] "Just look at her, James!" Sirius cried out exasperatedly. "Can't you see it? You're in love with her." He shook his head stubbornly. "No, I love Lily." "Get over yourself. It's always been Catherine, Prongs. Just look at her!" And so he did just as Sirius did too. And in that moment, Catherine tipped her head back to laugh at whatever Lily told her, and James realized that it was true. He was in love with a girl he never expected to fall for. But it wasn't only him, Sirius too realized he had fallen for her. ««•»» Catherine Valentine had it all. She was exceptionally kind, beautiful, tall, a mischievous prankster, had a loud melodious laugh, belonged to a rich family, could care less about blood status despite being a pureblood, and an exquisite personality everyone loved. Oh, and let's not forget the heart of a certain Marauder. Not one but two Marauders.
