Being in love is hard.
It is painful in all the wrong ways and it constantly burns in the form of longing glances and hidden tears. It sounds nice on paper, the idea of loving someone so much that you'd do anything for them, the idea that they would love you the same. But it wasn't like that.
Everyone has the waking fantasy of falling in love, of it being gorgeous and beautiful and unexplainable. No one thinks about the possibility of it being unrequited. No one wants to think of the pain that comes along with it. Love sounds like a dance around each other, one that two people have been practicing separately all of their lives until the fateful moment their hands finally touch and they are brought together in the flow of the music. But really it's just longing, it's looking at her beaming face and wanting more, more, more - and never getting it.

A Marauder's Guide to Falling Apart
"So we're alone," he said slowly. "That's a thoughtful observation," she whispered. She could feel her fingertips tremble slightly as they clasped around his hair. She didn't know why she suddenly felt so nervous. She moved her hands and allowed her fingers to trail slowly and gently down the side of his face and he involuntarily shivered at her touch. Eventually her fingers landed on his lips and she traced across them softly. They parted slightly and she could hear and feel him let out what she assumed to be an unintentional breath. He moved inwards, his lips pulling from her fingertips to hover near her ear. "I'm a thoughtful person." * After getting accepted into the Healer training program and moving to London, Marlene begins her life outside of Hogwarts. Despite the looming dangers of war, she has a pretty decent life; she has friends who care about her, a boyfriend who loves her, and the determination to keep fighting for a life worth living. But it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin questioning her choices. As the world is falling apart around her, so are her relationships and any certainty that she once had. Except for Sirius; the only certainty she has left in the world. However, war only seems to be threatening to tear them apart. She can't quite put her finger on what has started changing, but something certainly has, and love may not be enough to get her through it this time. It is only a matter of time before Marlene must make the most important choice of all; join the war or fall apart.Complete
Losing Game/// James Potter
"You should tell him, you know," a familiar voice softly said from behind her. "I know you love him." "Remus," she began turning around to face her friend, "You know I can't do that. He's my best friend, and h-he's in love with his perfect Lily-flower," Elsie sighed as tears began forming in her eyes. "But, Elsie... you don't see the way he looks at you, he-," his sentence was cut off by the girl with tears running down her face. "I don't see how he looks at me, but I see how he looks at her! And, t-that's enough to know that I will n-never be good enough to be with h-him," she snapped through stifled words. "But why don't you just tell him? Why don't you let yourself have a chance at happiness for once?" he asked stepping forwards, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "Because...loving him is a losing game. Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

A Marauder's Guide to Falling in Love
"So if its words that you are looking for McKinnon, I am fluently gifted with the art of speaking. But I'd much rather spend every day showing you exactly how I feel, knowing that you're mine and that we belong together." Its Marlene's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she wants nothing more than to pass Transfiguration in which she is hopelessly failing. But her struggle to improve her grades means crossing paths with fellow student Sirius Black, who just so happens to be ridiculously attractive, arrogant, and unfortunately her best bet to acing the class. She doesn't know why Sirius has suddenly taken interest in helping her, but accepting his assistance doesn't come without consequences. Her best friend Lily Evans seems to think that there is something more to the relationship than meets the eye, but Marlene has convinced herself that she does not like Sirius in that way. However, things get a little complicated when her feelings become conflicted, and it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin wondering if Lily was right all along. Finally admitting to herself that her feelings for Sirius are more than just platonic, she must decide which path to choose. Suddenly, she no longer just has Transfiguration to worry about; she must untangle the complications of her love life and finally tell Sirius exactly how she feels.

"How dare you!" Sirius cried out. "How could you! How fucking coul-" "Sir-" "How fucking could you! You thought i wouldn't notice. You thought I didnt have eyes hmph?!"He yelled "Sirius if you would just let me exp-" "NO!" He thundered. "How dare you stand here, how dare you look me in my face and tell me those three god-forsaken words-" "Sirius pleas- "You could have kissed anyone. ANYONE. James, Peter, even fucking Moody. But no. You just had to kiss him. HIM! OUT OF EVERYONE. Why! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KISS HIM?" "Sirius I-" "WHY?" He screamed. Staring straight into her eyes. He waited. The room was silent. Heavy, labored breathing was the only sound. Paralyzation is what she felt. The words were stuck in her throat. Couldn't move, couldn't speak, couldn't breath. She wanted to answer him. She wanted to explain and allow him to understand. But how could she? How can she? Not when her very own fears were constraining her like a noose tied around her neck. Sirius looked at her, shaking, hardly breathing. Her silence only continued to contribute to his anger - rising in him like a tidal wave, ready to bring wrath and destruction. He continued to stare at her. Unable to control himself any longer. He pulled out his wand- "The best thing for both of us is to forget that we were ever in each other's lives-" "Obliviate"
Azalea Evans °Marauders Era°
To fall in love is like to fall in the ocean without knowing how to swim. It made you scared, beyond terrified. You couldn't help but try to resist, try to break free from its cold, strong grip. Yet, it gave you an exhilarating feeling. Yes, you were drowning, and yes, it gave you the greatest fear you have ever known. But at that moment when you beat the terrifying waves, you feel the happiness no one else has given you. You feel like you have accomplished something no one else has. She should have embraced that feeling. So why didn't she?Complete![Twinning Scars - Remus Lupin x Reader [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/285666714-256-k458857.jpg)

"We cannot be togther!" Remus shook his head vigorously. "Never in a million years!" "And why not, love?" Amane smirked, taking a step further at the brown haired boy. He took a step back. "Because... we're supposed to be enemies." _ A dark, slow-burn, gothic romantic-suspense set in the Wizarding World with the warm, whimsical Hogwarts charm in the background. ▪ I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and all credit goes to her. I only own some of the original characters I made up for this story. And I would also like to mention that while I absolutely love the Harry Potter books, movies and were a big part of my childhood (and unashamedly in adulthood as well), I certainly DO NOT support any of Rowling's views on transgender community in any shape or form. I thoroughly condemn her transphobic remarks and her trans-exclusionary writings. _

Potter, please
James Potter has been in love with Aurora Lupin since second year - the day she marched into Hogwarts, insulted his broomstick, and called him "Potter" like it was a bad word. Now in sixth year, he's still helplessly smitten with his best friend's little sister. The only people who know? Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and unfortunately, Remus Lupin - who is both deeply concerned and quietly resigned to the fact that James is an idiot with no self-control. To protect the delicate peace (and his kneecaps), James keeps up the world's worst cover act: pretending he's still obsessed with Lily Evans so no one suspects the truth - especially Aurora, who would absolutely roast him alive. It's going great. If "great" means losing his mind every time she walks into a room. If "great" means blushing like a fool when she says "Potter, please" with that tired, amused little smirk. He writes her notes he never sends. Lets her win at wizard chess. Stares at her across the Great Hall like a lovesick idiot. And the worst part? She has no idea. But secrets don't stay buried forever - especially not when Sirius Black gets bored, Peter starts scheming, and Remus keeps threatening to hex him every time he sighs her name. James can outfly a Bludger. But can he survive falling for the one girl he's not supposed to love? {James potter x Oc} {golden retriever vibes} {mauraders era}
