She's not one of them. Not really.
Too quiet for rebellion, too strange for tradition, too soft for war.
Aurelia DeClare was raised to keep her head down and her magic hidden. But Hogwarts has a way of unraveling people. And the Marauders-loud, brilliant, infuriating-are impossible to ignore. Especially James Potter, with an ego the size of the Black Lake but a heart that somehow matches it.
She wants to save everyone.
She doesn't know if she can.
And the weight of that-of not being enough-might break her before the war ever does.
But maybe healing is its own kind of resistance.
And maybe love is the magic she didn't know she was looking for.

Potter, please
James Potter has been in love with Aurora Lupin since second year - the day she marched into Hogwarts, insulted his broomstick, and called him "Potter" like it was a bad word. Now in sixth year, he's still helplessly smitten with his best friend's little sister. The only people who know? Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and unfortunately, Remus Lupin - who is both deeply concerned and quietly resigned to the fact that James is an idiot with no self-control. To protect the delicate peace (and his kneecaps), James keeps up the world's worst cover act: pretending he's still obsessed with Lily Evans so no one suspects the truth - especially Aurora, who would absolutely roast him alive. It's going great. If "great" means losing his mind every time she walks into a room. If "great" means blushing like a fool when she says "Potter, please" with that tired, amused little smirk. He writes her notes he never sends. Lets her win at wizard chess. Stares at her across the Great Hall like a lovesick idiot. And the worst part? She has no idea. But secrets don't stay buried forever - especially not when Sirius Black gets bored, Peter starts scheming, and Remus keeps threatening to hex him every time he sighs her name. James can outfly a Bludger. But can he survive falling for the one girl he's not supposed to love? {James potter x Oc} {golden retriever vibes} {mauraders era}

The Moon Beneath the Ashes {James Potter}
Book I No one knows the name. No one expects the storm to come from a whisper. No one notices the quiet ones-until it's too late. She enters Hogwarts like a whisper, slipping through the cracks of noise and laughter, lingering in the corners no one watches. But even shadows cast light when magic stirs beneath the surface. Books shift. Creatures pause. Portraits follow with knowing eyes. Whispers grow louder, tethered to something old-something powerful-hiding behind her silence. As war creeps closer and childhood fades into something darker, friendships form, love flickers to life, and secrets begin to unravel. Because some stories were never meant to stay buried. And some magic refuses to sleep. A slow-burning mystery of hidden power, soft beginnings, and the unraveling truth beneath the quietest presence. Marauder's EraComplete

Affliction [James PotterxOC]
Ophelina Averinton bound by duty, burdened by power, and chained to a fate she cannot escape. James Potter is wild, reckless, destined for a war she was meant to fight. Their paths should have never crossed, yet fate binds them through love, betrayal, and pain. No matter how far they drift, they are pulled back together, even when the world fights to keep them apart. Like fire and water- forces that should never touch, for they are destined to clash. Yet when the fire blazes too fiercely, it craves the cool embrace of water to soothe its rage. And when the water grows too cold, frozen and still, it longs for the warmth of fire to reignite its flow. In their contrast, they are both the destruction and salvation of each other.

war of hearts
Cassiopeia Black had never been one to follow her families beliefs, and the war was no different. Whilst her family were known supporters of Voldemort, most of them actual death eaters, Cass joins the Order of the Phoenix. Juggling a war, leaving school, and love all at once is rather challenging. Especially when you're eighteen. [sequel to little miss black] [marauders era/first wizarding war]
