drops of jupiter ♢ marauders era fanfic

Sophia Potter was the "perfect" Potter. The one who was a Ravenclaw, the one who was never seen with a hair out of place, the one who fought tooth and nail for perfection and affirmation. James and Sophia, while completely inseparable, were forever in a silent contest to be the better twin. While James found himself with popularity, favouritism, and attention, Sophia was constantly fighting to keep herself afloat. Luckily, for Sophia, James was keen on sharing his friends and never had any issues with her befriending them as well, growing especially close to Remus Lupin. The two were very similar to fire and ice with their vastly different personalities, though neither could quite part with the other.

Maisie Fairfax was an anomaly. A muggle-born Slytherin. Certainly not the first or last of its kind, Maisie was a kind-hearted, smiley person who loved being in the house of Salazar Slytherin. Quickly becoming an active advocate to protect muggle-born and half-blood witches and wizards, she attracts the attention of one Sirius Black, the handsome Gryffindor who had been avoiding Ruby because of her house and her friendship with his brother Regulus. Maisie and Sophia found themselves being incredibly fond of each other and quickly building a strong friendship. With the mix of Sophia and Lily Evans befriending Maisie, Sirius relaxed and allowed himself to get to know her, quickly finding comfort and solace in the young witch. And Maisie watched painfully as she herself fell in love with the infamous heartthrob.

Told from alternating points of view, Maisie and Sophia navigate through the trials and tribulations of Hogwarts, teenage love, sibling rivalry, and a rapidly approaching threat of blood purity.
