JUST CREEPIN'
"What's wrong ma?" He questioned after a few seconds when she didn't respond to him. "Do you plan on having sex with me." She rested her chin on her knees that were pulled up to her chest. "Why?" He laughed slightly. In a way, he liked watching her struggle to maintain her composure. Jourie loved sex. "Cause I want you to fuck me on the balcony." She smiled softly. --- Jourie had been set up since before she was even thought of. With a mother who owned hair salons, a father who owned auto repair shops, both being scattered all over the map in different locations, and a large family that loves her and vice versa, she had anything a girl could ever wish for and more. She lacked the stereotypical bubbly personality that people assumed came with her and the higher hierarchy status she possessed. Still, she was nothing far from normal.Determined to make her parents proud, jourie always stayed on her best behavior. Straying far away from trouble. Like a record scratching, her life is brought to a halt when jourie has no choice but to face trouble coming for her head on when a new love interest finds a way to creep into her heart. With a strong built family, she learns even the ones who don't share the blood are the closest thing to family you have. So will jourie allow her new and forbidden love interest to shatter the strong built relationship she has with her family, or will her love interest beat her to the catch and do it for her?

Marmoris | Rabastan Lestrange [1] ✔︎
With the exception of Sirius Black and a few others, members of the old and noble pureblood families were always seen as nothing but pure evil murderers. They were the ones who had followed Lord Voldemort in two wizarding wars and killed hundreds of people, both magical folk and Muggles. But are they nothing but evil? In the 1970s, young Phoenix Black's only goal is to live up to her family's expectations, even if it means living a life, in which she wouldn't get to make her own decisions. To her, nothing is more important than her family. But when her older brother is disowned, for the first time, doubts rise in her heart, and from that very moment onwards her life seems to be turning into a downward spiral. She discovers horrible abilities, she cannot control and realises the world, she has believed in for so long, is nothing but a lie. Even Slytherins went through struggles in their lives, more than one might think. They fell in love, made choices, which could never be reversed, and sometimes they felt like there was nothing left to fight for. And eventually, they might have turned into the monsters everybody saw in them. ↠ Book one of the Ocean Duology ↞ ✶ Part of the Black Chronicles ✶ ⋆ Highest ranking: ⋆ #1 in Deatheater ↠ 27.11.19 #1 in mentalillness ↠ 19.01.21Complete
