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.

Book 1: Nepenthe Book 2: Halcyon Book 3 : Selcouth Magic has always played an intricate role in the life of Harry Potter. He is the Boy Who Lived, a title hovering his head since the time he was one year old, marked by a lightning bolt scar. He learns that a dark wizard targeted him as a baby, although he still doesn't know the true reason why. What he does know, is that he survived and wherever he goes, people just want to catch a glimpse of his forehead. He's famous in the wizarding world, although lives quite a normal life at home with his parents and siblings for the most part. But the time has come for Harry to start his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, alongside his best friends, and it seems the pressure is on to live up to the greatness placed on him during a time he can't even remember. However, it shouldn't be a problem for Harry to find his next adventure when the castle holds a three-headed dog and plenty of secrets for him to uncover.

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.
