You, Ebony Kettleburn, are navigating your new life in Hogwarts while the First Wizarding War is raging outside. Friendships are difficult to make and maintain among the students due to the different allegiances of their parents in the ongoing war. You meet the beautiful and smart fifth-year Lily Evans, grumpy but oddly kind Severus Snape and handsome but prejudiced James Potter. However, you also make friends in your year, and together you are not just navigating the cold and hostile environment at Hogwarts, but also have to deal with bullying and mysterious accidents that happen around the school. There is a significant (for teenagers) age gap between the reader and Severus (main love interest), and so the story is a real slow-burn. Enjoy!
