"I write her a letter just a few short lines, and suffer death a thousand times." Asteria O'Connor, sole heir of a prestigious wizarding family, has other plans when the self-proclaimed Marauders decide to torment her and her housemates. It's about time they learned some respect towards their superiors. If there's one thing she despises more than the group of irritating boys, it's a particular one of its lead members: Sirius Black. It wasn't always like this. There was once a time when they would admire the stars together, twinkling unlike any magic they had ever seen, pointing out constellations and imagining their future. Their real future was planned the second their families met, but of course what do children know about the reality of romance? Sadly Slytherins and Gryffindors aren't destined to be friends. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was never said aloud or seen written down, but the rule was engraved in the small unseen stitching of their house crests. They're no exception. So, they call each other enemies. However, I think we all know that is very unlikely to stay true for very long. WARNING: EXTREMELY SLOW BURN
