Just when her life begins to make sense and starts improving she is faced with questions of her past that leave her wondering. After some suspicion about who Olivia Evans' family truly is, Dumbledore decides it is not safe for Olivia to live in the orphanage, and convinces Snape to adopt her until they can investigate further. It is not until Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts that their suspicions are confirmed. Things start to change for Olivia in her 6th year, when not only was it a surprise that Harry Potter's name came out of the Goblet of Fire but also Olivia's did too. When her unknown past starts to lay a path that affects her future, Olivia decides she needs to confirm once and for all where she comes from. Olivia learns to develop relationships of all kinds, but one that she would never expected was how dear Charlie Weasley would come so close to her heart. While learning to love, she grows close with her friends, her family, her boys, and her Dad. The people in her life mean so much to her that she'd burn the world down if it meant she could save them all. •#1 in #charlieweasley •July 06, 2021 •#1 in #oliverwood •September 01, 2021

"I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave," His eyes meet mine for the first time. They're not the vibrant silver I grew so accustomed to, but a dull, cloudy grey. "You will finally understand why storms are named after people." - - Two stories, one book. What happens when two unsuspecting transfer students fall for a pair of destined enemies?

"Order of the Phoenix." When Hogwarts becomes an unsafe place, Cassiopeia Tonks learns that if there's going to be a real war, she'd rather fight knowing she can make a difference rather than turning a blind eye to the situation. Cassiopeia was the type of person who didn't know how to keep her mouth shut, in the best and worst times, Hogwarts wasn't her home anymore and she knew deep down what was lurking behind the lighting. Cassiopeia was clumsy like her sister Nymphadora, she always had a habit of falling for things she shouldn't have.

The Extraordinary Lessons Life Taught George and Felicity by FayeClaudia

The second Wizarding War left the Weasley family in shambles. Actually, that's not true. The war left George Weasley in shambles. He can't face his family, he can't face his own reflection, and he spends his nights at the Leakey Cauldron drowning his sorrows. The only two things that keep him going are his determination to honor Fred's memory with Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and his faithful bottle of firewhiskey. The Second Wizarding War left Felicity Nott rich. The unexpected disappearance of her older brother, the death of both her parents and the arrest of her younger brother leaves her as the sole heir to the formerly well-respected Nott family fortune. However, there is more to Felicity than meets the eye, and the sudden wealth is nothing more than another reminder of her cruel origins. A chance meeting in the Leakey Cauldron between George and Felicity leads to unexpected friendship as the two help each other rediscover who they are, and who they need to become.
