COMFORT ZONE | Sirius Black [REWRITING]

[IMPORTANT NOTE: Year 1 chapters are currently being rewritten and republished one by one.]

THE SHAFIQS:
A well-known and established wizarding family from Lahore that settled in England, c. 1750.

***

Madiha Shafiq is in the unique position of having James Potter as her godbrother, and Sirius Black as her best friend: two boys who are from wildly different magical families. As a child, she never questioned how this came to be.

In the backdrop of a war which, for the longest time, is referred to as anything but that, Madiha discovers long-hidden secrets, forges a sisterhood and joins a certain band of four unruly boys.

And perhaps falls in love.

ALONGSIDE

A telling of how Regulus Black made decisions that were at once stupid and brave.

***

This is the winding tale of a group of friends, and associates, as they attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and beyond.

***

The story will span from Madiha's first year all the way to seventh year and post-Hogwarts, which will probably extend into a second book at some point.

An alternate universe (AU) fanfiction involving a slow, slow burn.
