Romance
Anastasia Gaunt has always known her place-silent, obedient, a perfect Black in everything but name. But when Sirius runs away, she is the one left to suffer the consequences. To keep her in line, her family binds her to Tom Riddle-brilliant, untouchable, and utterly obsessed with her. At Hogwarts, she keeps her mask intact, her composure unshaken. Until James Potter starts paying attention. He should be nothing more than an arrogant Gryffindor with a hero complex, but he sees through her carefully crafted indifference. And that makes him dangerous. War is coming. Lines are being drawn. And Anastasia is running out of time. Trapped between the monster who owns her and the boy who refuses to look away, she must decide whether to play her part-or shatter the illusion before it's too late.

They say blood is thicker than water. But they don't tell you its the blood of the covenant and the water of the womb. Lavinia Selwyn is everything her parents ever wanted in a daughter. And she's never tried to be anything else. She's a poster-girl pureblood Slytherin who is in all the right crowds and making all the right friends from the moment she sets foot on the train to Hogwarts. She's top in her class and the envy of every girl at Hogwarts. But as pressure from her parents mounts, the disgusted stares of the other houses and the constant insults of the Marauders start to get to Lavinia and her perfect facade begins to crack. Before she knows it, she's struggling to function, practically screaming for help and no one seems to notice. Well. No one who would want to help her anyway. Sirius Black is the last person Lavinia would go to for help.
