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.

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.

My love- a Sirius Black love story
Amaya and Sirius had always been close, until they started Hogwarts. They were sorted into separate houses and they sorta developed feelings for each other. Sorry, I suck at descriptions. My sisters said it was good after I forced them to read it. Disclaimer I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. They all belong to J.K. RowlingComplete
The Prophecy (James potter)
"Please I've been on My knees, change the prophecy"- Taylor Swift Was Named The Beauty Aurora Petrova was known for her beauty in Hogwarts, her accent too. She always kept to herself, she studied and only had one friend. She loved it, but when she is assigned to sit by two chaotic boys in every single one of her classes it changes. James Potter was known for chasing after Lily Evans, always asking her out. Always getting rejected. James Potter liked Lily Evans since his first year in Hogwarts, and he knew one day she'll say yes. Until he met her. Here's a secret. Sirius Black has liked Aurora since he saw her, despite always chasing after girls. Maybe it was her beauty, her innocence, the way she was so nice to him or maybe the fact that she didn't throw herself at him. After Sirius Black and James Potter fail a test, Aurora Petrova was asked to help them study. When Aurora helped them, she thought they hated her, but turns out they actually like the girl and love being around her. What happens when James Potter asks her out, as a dare? James Potter x Oc It will be cringe since this is the first story I ever wrote and a little rushed (you have have any ideas on how to help me write better lmk) ___________________________________ Okay so this is a James Potter Fiction. The chapters get better along the way trust me. Updates whenever I get the chance. #9 MarleneMckinnon #1 regulusblack
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

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.

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
