Colliding Orbits | Sirius Black, Evan Rosier

Genevieve Sterling has her entire life meticulously planned. As the Head Girl, she exists in a quiet sanctuary of advanced arithmancy texts, ink-stained fingers, and a fiercely guarded ambition. As a muggle-born, she has absolutely no time for the looming wizarding war, or the toxic pureblood politics poisoning the corridors of Hogwarts.

She definitely has no time for Sirius Black or Evan Rosier.

Loud, reckless, and ruinously handsome, Sirius is a walking disaster wearing his rebellion like a leather jacket. He is a storm tearing through the castle, drowning out the dark legacy of his family with firewhiskey and a blindingly arrogant smirk.

Evan, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He is a quiet, suffocating compliance, a Slytherin heir bound to a rising Dark Lord, hiding his paralyzing terror behind a cold, untouchable mask.

To Sirius, Evie is a rule-obsessed bookworm.

To Evan, she is a blinding, impossible light.

And to Evie, they are both colossal complications she can't afford.

But when the responsibilities of their seventh year force them into the same orbit, the carefully drawn boundaries between them begin to blur. Sirius realizes the quiet Ravenclaw might be the only person who truly sees the wounded beast hiding beneath his charm, while Evan realizes she might be the only lifeline capable of saving him from drowning.

Caught between the fiercely protective fire of a Gryffindor and the dark, devastating gravity of a Slytherin, Evie is about to find out that no amount of logic can save a map once it catches fire.
