πquarius irma black knew that all too well. she was everything her parents wanted her to be: poised, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to the family name. she fought to protect her brothers, from the crushing weight of their family, even if it meant sacrificing pieces of herself. her life was carefully controlled, her emotions tucked neatly behind a cool, collected exterior.
then came james fleamont potter, with his reckless charm and gryffindor ideals, turning her carefully guarded world upside down. he wasn't supposed to make her laugh. he wasn't supposed to see past the mask. and he certainly wasn't supposed to make her feel like she could be something other than a black.
as tensions rise between the houses, within her family, and inside her own heart, aquarius finds herself pulled in every direction-toward her brothers, her friends, and the one boy who seems determined to unravel her.
after all, it was never easy loving a black.

The Exiled Malfoy
"I apologise, Miss Malfoy." The hat said only to her before it shouted out, "Gryffindor!" for the rest of the hall to hear. Professors and students were shocked when Sirius Black was placed in Gryffindor, but to have a Malfoy join him? That was unheard of. Shock rippled through the room as Cordelia walked to the Gryffindor table with her head low. Out of all the houses, Gryffindor was her last choice. If she'd been put in Ravenclaw, maybe even Hufflepuff, her parents might've understood... But Gryffindor? She was a dead witch standing. -------------------- Marauder's Era fanfic OCxOC RemusxSirius JamesxLily slow updates (sorry) *cover image is from Pinterest* -------------------- Highest Rankings: #1 in remusxsirius #1 in wizardingwar #2 in snape #2 in malfoyfamily #3 in themarauders #8 in pureblood
All The Things We Rise From
Remus Lupin x OC // Marauder's Era - Book II All The Things We Rise From Some grief is quiet. Some choices are louder than war. The war has begun - not with a bang, but with disappearances, lies, and names whispered in fear. Hogwarts is no longer safe, and neither are the people Artemis Black loves. Torn between loyalty and survival, Artemis walks deeper into the shadows she once tried to escape. Alongside Remus, she learns what it means to fight for something - and what it costs to lose it. But as secrets unravel and lines blur, even love begins to fracture under the weight of what they cannot save. Sirius Black is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Regulus vanishes into the dark. And Artemis? She keeps going. Because someone has to. Remus is older now. Quieter. Still haunted - but this time, by what he might lose, not what he already has. As the war pulls them apart and back together, he and Artemis must decide whether love is something you protect... or something you let burn, if it means lighting the way forward. This is a story of second chances and final losses. Of letters unsent, wounds unspoken, and a war that leaves nothing untouched. Of a girl who never wanted to be a hero - and became one anyway. The fire didn't end them. But rising from it might.Complete

[COMPLETED] REIA LUPIN IS A SLYTHERIN. But her House does not define her. * Her name fell from his lips; the sweet, smooth sound carried away by the wind. But she did not turn to him.

"Whatcha arguing about there, girls?" "Your dear sister here has a little crush." "I don't." "Your Gryffindor supporting cheeks tell me otherwise." ββ’β β’β If there was anything (y/n) knew, it was that the Black twins weren't people to mess with. How did she know this? She was one of them.
