Shadows of the Heart (Lupin x Male OC)

"In a world where wands define power, Aiden Thorne stands apart."

Shy, reserved, and only 21 years old, Aiden Thorne has always been an outsider. As a prodigy in wandless and non-verbal magic, his gifts are both a blessing and a curse. When he's invited to Hogwarts as the assistant Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Aiden hopes to find a place to belong-but instead, he becomes a target.

With Dementors stalking the grounds and whispers of betrayal echoing through the castle, Aiden struggles to navigate his new role. Mentoring Harry Potter brings purpose to his days, but it's the quiet strength of Remus Lupin, his enigmatic colleague, that captures Aiden's heart. As their connection deepens, Aiden must confront his past traumas, his growing power, and the dark wizards who see him as either a rival to destroy-or a weapon to claim.

When Voldemort's shadow begins to loom, Aiden must decide: Will he embrace his unique magic to protect those he loves, or will his insecurities leave him vulnerable to the darkness?

Filled with action, intrigue, and tender moments of love, Shadows of the Heart is a story of resilience, mentorship, and the power of standing strong-even when the world feels against you. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter who long to dive deeper into the lives of Hogwarts' unsung heroes.
