Larkriddle Stories

Without your voice, who would you be? Lark Riddle knows what it's like to be in love. In her short sixteen years of life, she's come to know all different sorts- false love, hopeful love, desperate love... true love. At times, it's been hard for her- after all, she couldn't speak for ten years. When Lark was six, her older brother, Tom, magically silenced her in hopes that she wouldn't speak of the very first murder that she'd witnessed him commit. She stayed obedient, fully believing that deep down, Tom still had a kilogram of goodness left in his heart. Through her silence, she became friends with the Black sisters, Severus Snape, and Lily Evans. After she's suddenly swept into the world of the Marauders, however, everything changed. It isn't long before she finds herself in the romantic embrace of a certain boy, and mysteriously breaks her silence. Lark Riddle has her freedom, but what will happen to her love? Follow Lark along her journey to find her voice and choose a side in the upcoming Wizarding War, where she will learn if real, pure love ever really needs words.

It's 1976, and the Wizarding World is changing in the blink of an eye. Finally free from silence, Lark Riddle doesn't know what to do with herself. Her older brother, Tom, is breathing down her neck from hundreds of miles away every moment, and she just might snap under the pressure. With a mother who birthed her into the worst-case-scenario and a father who has yet to be discovered, she feels as though there's no longer a net to fall into if she crumbles to the ground...because she's never felt love, and has a sneaking suspicion that she may be unable to. She's left her old friends, Severus Snape and the notorious Black sisters in her wake, and has yet to move on to bigger, brighter prospects: the Marauders. Sirius Black has more than enough on his shoulders. While he makes every move he can to stay away from his psychotic ex-family and their allies, rumor has it that there's a war on, and he'll be playing a bigger part in it than he expected. Though this talk of fighting and standing up for what's right is all so thrilling, he has a life, a reputation, and an education to uphold (and all three seem to be plummeting to certain doom at terminal velocity). Lark knows what it's like: feeling alone and living in a world of darkness where the only light is the hope that she can provide for herself, whether it's real or not, and chances are that she may be the only person who will ever make him feel the way that he does when he's around her. *ALL RIGHTS GO TO JK ROWLING; I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.
