Emmeline Vance was meant to be a Slytherin. She was meant to become her family's perfect pawn - a Gryffindor by name, a loyal pureblood daughter in truth. But plans rarely survive contact with reality.
Sorted into Gryffindor in 1971, Emmeline enters Hogwarts carrying the weight of ancient expectations and hidden orders. As the years pass, the lines between duty and desire blur: quiet friendships form, secrets take root, and loyalties begin to fracture. Torn between the world she was born into and the one she's building for herself, Emmeline must navigate a web of family pressure, forbidden love, and a war that creeps closer with every passing year.
Canon-compliant with Emmeline Vance as the main character. I tried to make the language and actions period typical but I'm not British so it might be a bit off sometimes.
It might remind you a bit like ATYD by MsKingBean89 because I was inspired to start writing because of that fic but I'm trying to not copy.
I definitely do not support JK Rowling's transphobia, I just love the Marauders and Harry Potter.

LONG FIC // COMPLETE Fifth Year has rolled around for the Marauders at Hogwarts. However, this year is a bit different because a certain Marauder; James Potter, has found himself in quite the puzzle You see, James is stuck between Lily Evans, who he thought was the only one for him, and a certain dark haired Slytherin boy, one he never thought he would ever have anything to do with given that this particular Slytherin is a relative of his best friend. See this Slytherin is none other than Fourth Year Regulus Black. James had never seen anything in Regulus before but this year is different. This year Regulus is...attractive. Regulus, however, is not quite the same, see he does have feelings for James, he has done since he started Hogwarts but he had made peace with the fact that he would never compare to Lily Evans.

Flue flames, silver lies {Regulus Black)
At the heart of Hogwarts, a sharp-witted Ravenclaw witch, born into a whirlwind of laughter, books, and endearing chaos, crosses paths with a brooding Slytherin wizard whose every move is shaped by the rigid expectations of a cold, pure-blood supremacist lineage. Where her world is color and curiosity, his is shadows and silence-yet something in her defiance of order, her refusal to judge, begins to crack the polished mask he's worn for years. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, their unlikely connection becomes both a sanctuary and a spark, threatening to upend everything they were raised to believe.Complete![Living with the Marauders (Remus Lupin x Reader) [Book 1] {COMPLETED}](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/86974706-256-k550438.jpg)
Living with the Marauders (Remus Lupin x Reader) [Book 1] {COMPLETED}
"Whatcha arguing about there, girls?" "Your dear sister here has a little crush." "I don't." "Your Gryffindor supporting cheeks tell me otherwise." ☆•★•☆ 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. In fact, (y/n) knew a lot of things. For one, she knew that neither her or Sirius would ever be welcome in the Black household ever again. Secondly, she knew that if she studied hard enough, she could pass her NEWTs with flying colours and third, she knew that finally, her best friend Lily Evans had developed feelings for James Potter. Fourth, she knew that she could probably get on the quidditch team this year with James as captain and finally, she knew that Peter had been the first Marauder to apologise to Snivellus. What she didn't know, however, was why she wanted to spend more time with Remus all of a sudden... [top rank: #1 remusxreader December 2018] Remastered on @cherrywine_x : completed!!Complete

"I promise." ~*𓃦*~ Going to Hogwarts was something Y/n Black had been looking forward to her entire life, though she never anticipated the chaos and mischief that her time there would include.

SHE - TRAITOR | • Regulus Black
Being a Gryffindor princess was a curse in some ways. Likewise, being James Potter's sister was a curse. Girls her age only hung out with her because she had a charming brother, the captain of the quidditch team, or didn't hang out with her because her brother was an idiot. She was cursed to be with everyone and no one at the same time. When Sarah entered her fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft, she didn't expect anything new at all. She braced herself for the old familiar days spent in the presence of the boys of her dorm, the constant trouble and huge events prepared by her brother and his friends, the Marauders. But once the boys left her alone in Hogsmeade to her own devices, she found out that this year would change her life. She could only hope for the better .... I announce in advance that not everything is according to the truth. There are several characters in the story that I made up and I claim the rights to them. Otherwise, all characters belong to J.K. Rowling. NOTICE - vulgarisms may appear - violence - mabye also death I am sorry, English is not my first language, so expect some mistakes, maybe typos.Complete
Snivellus' sister
(Re-editing) It's clear that Severus Snape has never been great friends with the chaotic group known as the marauders but when his twin sister must be moved to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons in her fifth year for her own safety, the group take a sudden interest in the mysterious girl. One Marauder in particular, Sirius Black. With Snape keeping a protective eye over her surely nothing bad was going to happen... At least that's what he'd hope.
