Leonora Potter knew from a young age that she was rather... different, from the rest of her family. The secret opinions she held regarding Muggles, her reserved nature in comparison to James. As she grew, her parents seemed to cast her aside, her brother's shadows swallowing her whole. And when the sorting hat placed her in Slytherin, their already crumbling relationship had finally shattered. And as a result, she was forced to find family in other places. Perhaps that is how she got mixed in with the Death Eaters.
When the first Wizarding war consumes the wizarding world, Leonora must finally decide who's side she's on, and what that means for the relationships she's built. She must decide who to fight for, and who she'll lose along the way. But surviving a war doesn't mean escaping it. Years later, when history repeats itself, a new generation rises to the fight. And Leonora must finally confront the choices that shaped her.
A story that spans two years, two generations, and a woman torn between her loyalties.

dirty old town → regulus black
Finn Lynch lives a quiet, tranquil life in a rural village in the mountains. Her life may lack spontaneity and excitement, but at least it's peaceful. And if it's a little lonely too, then she can't complain too much - she's still happy, after all. When her uncle asks her to house a defector from the magical war he's involved in, Finn agrees reluctantly despite her concerns that the presence of Regulus Black in her home will disrupt the careful peace she's been cultivating for years. Nothing could prepare her for what an insufferable prick he is. [marauders era] [regulus black x muggle oc] [enemies to lovers] ** updates on wednesdays **Complete

"You're just a spineless, big-headed, moron Potter. Why on earth would I go out with a fleabag like you?" "It's just, James Potter!" says Sirius, leaning casually back in his chair, "Beaten by a girl!" "So you're back?" he smiles knowingly at her from the hospital wing bed. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* Hogwarts. The year, 1976. Before Harry Potter. Before Voldemort was defeated. Before the Second Wizarding War. Before the Marauders, Lily Evans, Severus Snape and so many others had died. This is back in the school days, where life may be seen as simple, yet growing increasingly complicated, choosing paths that will change their future. Choosing their sides. And not all will be on the same side. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* This is my take on what could have happened during the time of the Marauders, Lily, Marlene , Alice and Snape. Watch out for mystery, arguments, unrequited love and choices that can make or break relationships during the fifth year of Hogwarts for these characters. *•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•* I have tried to connect my head canons with the little we have about the Marauders. This is my first ever book so any comments, votes or ideas to improve are greatly appreciated. Anyway enough of me rambling, if you've read all the way down here, um thanks, you might want to actually open the book now... and yeah. I hope you enjoy it! - NJCG (Around 22,500 words)Complete
