Alex Mercer. They call him a monster, a killer, a terrorist. He's all of these thing. Well he knows he is, but the public knows he isn't now.

Could he finally find a family worth fighting for again? Or will his demons cause him to run away once again?

Students eagerly pushed their trolleys through the barrier to reach Platform 9 ¾, their excited chatter filling the air with anticipation of what the year ahead would hold. Onboard the Hogwarts Express, conversations swirled about the mysteries and adventures awaiting them at the castle. Among the eager students was Y/N, who, in her third year, would encounter Harry Potter-the boy everyone whispered about, the one they called the Chosen One. Little did Y/N know that her life was about to change. Danger, excitement, and heartbreak loomed as she was drawn into Harry's world-a world she once thought had no bearing on her own. Fate had other plans, entwining their destinies in ways neither could foresee. Amid the chaos, something gentle began to bloom between them, lingering in glances and laughter. And then, one evening, when words failed... "Y/N..." Harry whispered, his voice tinged with awe and something else-something hungry. His eyes flickered from hers to her lips, his face flushed but resolute. "Can I-can we do that again?" Y/N's cheeks burned, her hands resting lightly against his chest. "Someone might see us." "I don't care," Harry breathed, his voice trembling with honesty. "I don't care if the whole castle sees us.

Aquila Samus, a twelve year old girl enters Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but only starting on her second year. She didn't understand why until her friend, Hermione, which was her best friend even before Hogwarts, told her that her past couldn't have been as it would have seemed to be. Now, with Aquila making friends, facing her fears, making enemies, and even going to quests along with the gang, she has one thing she has to face before finding out who she really is. But the only problem is what she is. What exactly did happen? Why were secrets kept from her? And why is Draco such a pain in the arse?! Well, there's only one way to find out why. And that only thing is to keep on trying. Because one day, you may never remember it again. It would be complete and utter nonsense to even know if it was true.
