Sirius snaps, barking out irritably, "Because shes a creature that turns men into blithering fools."
Her voice is even when she asks, "Speaking from personal experience, Black?"

~In which Gwen and Sirius decide that perhaps they do have somethings in common~

Brightest (Sirius Black X Reader)
Sirius Black. There is no denying that the boy is very charming. To add more to the charm, is the fact that Sirius came from the well known pureblood family. The noble house of Black. To cut a long story short, he's the brightest star of Hogwarts. Sirius Black and (Y/n) (Y/l/n) aren't friends, nevertheless, the two are still familiar with each other. Having been partners with a task before, not to mention one of Sirius' friend, James, is head over heels for Lily Evans, a friend of (Y/n). The two converses with each other occasionally, only not in ways they might like it to be. Though when Remus Lupin befriended (Y/n), the girl found herself caught in an unexpected bond with the rest of the boy's friends. Yet it seems as if (Y/n) has favorites as she and Sirius became much closer to each other, so much so that the rest of the boy's friends took notice of Sirius Black trying his best to shine the brightest even more. ______________________________ I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters. All Harry Potter characters and anything that is about Harry Potter or is involved in Harry Potter in this story are all owned by JK Rowling / The Harry Potter Franchise, that includes the main character in this story, Sirius Black and his story.

{Marauders Era - Post War} {James Potter x OC} {Second Chance Romance} "I'm a potter," Fawn announces, her head inclining in the direction of the floorboards suddenly creaking very loudly. James is rearing back, his eyes growing round like bludgers and his hand coming up to clasp his throat, his voice box, hoping he sounds less embarrassingly taken aback than he feels. "I beg your pardon?" A clear, bright strand of orange emerges, betraying Fawn's slight amusement when she clarifies, "I'm a potter. I make pottery." ***************** 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 James Potter reluctantly returns to Hogwarts three years after war end and happens to stumble across the brightness, the colour he lost all sight of.

"Whatcha arguing about there, girls?" "Your dear sister here has a little crush." "I don't." "Your Gryffindor supporting cheeks tell me otherwise." ☆•★•☆ If there was anything (y/n) knew, it was that the Black twins weren't people to mess with. How did she know this? She was one of them. In fact, (y/n) knew a lot of things. For one, she knew that neither her or Sirius would ever be welcome in the Black household ever again. Secondly, she knew that if she studied hard enough, she could pass her NEWTs with flying colours and third, she knew that finally, her best friend Lily Evans had developed feelings for James Potter. Fourth, she knew that she could probably get on the quidditch team this year with James as captain and finally, she knew that Peter had been the first Marauder to apologise to Snivellus. What she didn't know, however, was why she wanted to spend more time with Remus all of a sudden... [top rank: #1 remusxreader December 2018] Remastered on @cherrywine_x : completed!!Complete

"I'm sorry, I just... remembered something," she muttered as her fingers traced the scars on her throat. He placed his hands on her shoulders before whispering, "It's just me."

Snivellus' sister
(Re-editing) It's clear that Severus Snape has never been great friends with the chaotic group known as the marauders but when his twin sister must be moved to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons in her fifth year for her own safety, the group take a sudden interest in the mysterious girl. One Marauder in particular, Sirius Black. With Snape keeping a protective eye over her surely nothing bad was going to happen... At least that's what he'd hope.

Darkest / Light - Sirius Black
The irony, that the golden bird cage was a reflection of herself- a worthy possession of her dammed soul. Literally. sirius black x fem!oc A/n 2024- I wrote this story in 2021 and I never finished it (the epilogue makes the story complete without being completed if that makes sense). However, I'm quite proud of my fourteen/fifteen year old self for the quality of writing that I managed to pull off. So hear I am, four whole years later, publishing what I wrote.Complete
I thought I knew my ending - Year 3
'I... Sometimes I feel like there are a lot of shards stuck in my head, stuck in my mind, in my stomach... Everywhere. Broken glass from a mirror that could once tell me something, but every time I want to look at one, that piece too... shatters. I... I just don't know how I can ever glue them back together.' There was a pause when I stared at my hands, which were shaking very badly, just like that day in Hogsmeade. 'I have no idea what they want to tell me. Or what they want me to do, to be able to tell me who I... am?' I stared at the castle in front of us. Feeling sick and weird and very much out of place. Where was this coming from? And why on earth was I telling him? Book 2 - year 3 of a series about the marauders from Lily Evans POV. Lily Evans gets a second change in life to change her past and therefor the future of all those around her. Unfortunately, she has forgotten what will happen to her future self. She has no idea why she has nightmares about a deer, black dog and rat or why she has all these strange memories of older versions of herself and the annoying Gryffindors she's supposed to hate. After all, being a Slytherin comes with some prejudices. This story will take place during the marauders time at Hogwarts, all seven years and a few years after, during the war. As you will notice, I made a few alterations in this story that aren't aligned with the original one, but you will soon discover it's way more interesting to change the timeline a bit and put Lucius Malfoy and Ballatrix Black in the same school as the marauders.Complete
