Long before the age of the Golden Trio, there were the Marauders.
James, the ring-leader.
Sirius, the run-away.
Remus, the werewolf.
Peter, the quiet one.
But they weren't the only ones to attend Hogwarts.
A muggle-born Aurelia Hope is the brightest witch of her age, a successful animagus at just eleven years old, and the best friend of Lily Evans. She is kind, smart, with not a single grudge against any soul, but darkening times in the wizarding world cast a target above her head, one that can only end in death.
With her nose in a book, she bumps into a chivalrous and teasing Sirius Black, who wishes only to know the sad secret behind her crystal blue eyes.
The prequel to Pumpkin Pasties, and the first official story in the Changed Fate trilogy.
"Bloody hell," whispers James. "I don't think I've ever seen that before."
All I can do is stare blankly at him.
"she was just so nice about it..."
Remus shakes his hand in front of my face. "I think he's experiencing shock," he says, a smirk on his face.
"Is he going to be okay?"asks Peter, worry etched in his face.
"'course I am," I say, shaking myself. "it was only a rejection. "
"yeah, but you like her."
bloody hell, I think he's right.
"bloody hell." my voice is hoarse. "I like her."
