Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter franchise, but...

Many people have heard of the McKinnon family. Marlene McKinnon was famous in her time at Hogwarts, cousin to the one and only James Potter, and sister to four older brothers. Friend of Lily Evans, Alice Prewett, and Dorcas Meadowes. You've heard of her, yes? Well, she had a sister. A twin, to be exact. Overshadowed by Marlene, Gwen lives her life from behind a camera. Never being mentioned, or considered important. That is, until she is.

Disclaimer: I know that Marlene is actually a half-blood, and only distantly related to James Potter, but in this story she is going to be a pure-blood and James' cousin. Just to get that out of the way.
Also Disclaimer since I've now checked it as finished: I'm not coming back to this story anytime I can think of, but after 6 and a half chapters I just added the plan to the end. I hope you still enjoy :D

COVER DONE BY THE WONDERFUL @fan_the_nan  THANQ SO MUCH

"I have a more personal question," she ignored his arrogance. Watching him had sparked a new interest that seemed to overpower any interest she had in their previous conversation. "Oh?" he seemed surprised but didn't allow it to affect his composure. "Go ahead then." "Why me?" "I beg your pardon?" Sirius seemed confused. Marlene felt embarrassed asking it but it wouldn't be the first time it had danced around in her head. Sirius was the type of guy that could have any girl he wanted. He was smart, funny, immeasurably handsome, and he bloody well knew it. Though he was bit egotistical at times, his hot headedness had seemed to settle down immensely from the boy she had known from fifth and sixth year. "Of all the girls you could have picked from, you chose me. I want to know why." Sirius was looking at her funny - it was not quite the reaction she had been expecting. "Of all the girls I could have picked from. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Isn't it obvious?" * It's Marlene's seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she has graduated from blundering student to emotional train wreck. She knew that seventh year was going to be challenging, but she never imagined that N.E.W.T.s would be the least of her worries. The pressure of suppressing her emotions begins to take its toll, and it's only a matter of time before she breaks. She knows that she must tell Sirius how she truly feels if they ever stand a chance. As she struggles to win Sirius back, dark forces continue to loom over Hogwarts. Suddenly, Marlene finds herself immersed in something unexpected; threatening everything she knows and loves. Relationships blossom, alliances are formed, and adventures continue as Marlene and her friends enjoy their last moments before the war. They must rely on one another to fight the darkness, and together she and Sirius may just have a fighting chance after all. Highest Rank: #1 Blackinnon 03.13.21

Book 2 in the Generations Series. '"So if we're harbouring criminals, then I'd quite like to know their names," Marlene looked between the two boys. "I'm James Potter," the one with the glasses winked. "Sirius Black," the second grinned, "and who are you?" "Marlene- Marlene McKinnon," Marlene replied, "and this is-" "Remus Lupin," Remus said. "Well Marlene- Marlene McKinnon and Remus Lupin, I am sure we will be seeing more of you," Sirius Black gave them a cocky grin, "but for now, me and my good friend here must bid you goodbye." Sirius grabbed James's arm and the two hurtled off as the prefect who they were hiding from stuck his head into the compartment. "Oh Hogwarts is going to be so much fun!" Marlene grinned at Remus.' Marlene McKinnon had always been excited to begin her education at Hogwarts. Growing up, her parents had always told Marlene and her sister stories of their time at the school. But Marlene is growing up in troubled times. Voldemort is slowly gaining power, and it's just a matter of time before the whole wizarding world is wiped out. Some stories have a happy ending. Unfortunately, Marlene's is not one of those stories. Disclaimer; All references and characters from the original Harry Potter Books belong to JK Rowling and WB.
