"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.

Some people found comfort in sitting next to a fireplace or having someone hold onto them and whisper sweet nothing into their ear. James Potter did not find comfort in any of these things, instead finding comfort in food, specifically sweet food that would make his tastebuds celebrate with delight. The breakup between him and Lily Evans was popular gossip around the school and the head boy of Gryffindor found himself grimacing at the whisper that seemed to sprout every time someone saw him. Late at night, Jame snuck out of his quarters and crept down to the kitchen expecting to see no one except maybe a House-Elf but instead, he found a Hufflepuff with a speck of flour on her cheek.

"I found him in a lover; when his hair falls in his face, and his hands so cold they shake." Octavia Knight is a bright young witch born into a family of pure-bloods. She's known as a blood-traitor, and she doesn't want to associate herself with people who believe blood status defines a person and their worth. In her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she meets four boys who instantly take her in and show her affection in which her family couldn't begin to comprehend. She's in her sixth year now, and what happens when people start noticing how she hugs a certain boy for a few seconds longer than she does with her other friends?

Some people believed the word to be connected with death, others believed it to be defined as your true meaning in life, the remaining didn't believe in fate. Y/N believed Fate to be a mix of the former two. She believed in Destiny. In her opinion, it was a much more gratifying word compared to Fate. James Potter, however, had his own unique opinion on the word. He believed that Fate was what brought you to your Soul Mate. And what better place to find your soulmate than Hogwarts?

James Potter was many things. A good athlete, a loyal friend, and Gryffindor's golden boy. For Victoria Atkinson, he was everything she hated in others. He embodied the values that have been impressed on her since she was little. And that's exactly why she disliked the young wizard. For James Potter, Victoria Atkinson was all he needed in life. She was everything he had appreciated and admired since childhood. And that's exactly why James couldn't stop his heart from beating faster every time she was around. But it looked like James Potter not only had a talent for Quidditch but also for reminding the girl he's been in love with for years why she doesn't like him. And so the story of her life became much more complicated than it should have been with the end-to-end impact of factors like James Potter and many other circumstances. But for Victoria, the biggest burden will be the same that had been her whole life. Balancing between what her family expected and her own values. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - James/OC Marauders Era All the characters, except for OCs, rightfully belong to J.K.
