Seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has finally come. It's the busiest time of every witch and wizard's Hogwarts career - the work is incredibly difficult, and graduation hype is up high. Most of the students aren't paying attention to the fact that Lord Voldemort, the most notorious dark wizard to ever walk the earth, is on the rise. However, outside of the castle, fear is running high in the wizarding world.

Alice Winchester, along with her best friend, Lily Evans, is in her last year at Hogwarts. Being in their final year seems surreal: so much has changed since they first arrived at Hogwarts when they were eleven years old. Even James Potter seems more bearable. 

But his best friend, Sirius Black, hasn't changed at all. He's still cocky and narcissistic, and he flirts with every girl in their year. Alice has never been able to stand being around him, and as she enters her seventh year, that's still the case. However, as Lily and James start growing more comfortable around each other, Alice starts to realize that things might be starting to change for her, too.

"I have a more personal question," she ignored his arrogance. Watching him had sparked a new interest that seemed to overpower any interest she had in their previous conversation. "Oh?" he seemed surprised but didn't allow it to affect his composure. "Go ahead then." "Why me?" "I beg your pardon?" Sirius seemed confused. Marlene felt embarrassed asking it but it wouldn't be the first time it had danced around in her head. Sirius was the type of guy that could have any girl he wanted. He was smart, funny, immeasurably handsome, and he bloody well knew it. Though he was bit egotistical at times, his hot headedness had seemed to settle down immensely from the boy she had known from fifth and sixth year. "Of all the girls you could have picked from, you chose me. I want to know why." Sirius was looking at her funny - it was not quite the reaction she had been expecting. "Of all the girls I could have picked from. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Isn't it obvious?" * It's Marlene's seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she has graduated from blundering student to emotional train wreck. She knew that seventh year was going to be challenging, but she never imagined that N.E.W.T.s would be the least of her worries. The pressure of suppressing her emotions begins to take its toll, and it's only a matter of time before she breaks. She knows that she must tell Sirius how she truly feels if they ever stand a chance. As she struggles to win Sirius back, dark forces continue to loom over Hogwarts. Suddenly, Marlene finds herself immersed in something unexpected; threatening everything she knows and loves. Relationships blossom, alliances are formed, and adventures continue as Marlene and her friends enjoy their last moments before the war. They must rely on one another to fight the darkness, and together she and Sirius may just have a fighting chance after all. Highest Rank: #1 Blackinnon 03.13.21

Lexi Stryker is in for quite a ride when she begins her life as a witch at Hogwarts. Not only is she completely surrounded by magic, but she meets her match in Sirius Black. Both equally hilarious, crazy, cocky, and outgoing, the two should become instant friends. But what happens when Lexi realizes Sirius is more than a jokester? He's the school bad boy and player. Lexi makes a vow to stop Sirius' player ways before his and many girls' hearts are broken. Can Lexi tame the wild Sirius Black without breaking their friendship and her own heart? This is basically 7 years in one (like a whole prequel), start from whichever year you want. I could've made 7 short books, but this is just one long one. ***ALL UNORIGINAL CHARACTER RIGHTS GO TO J.K. ROWLING*** *ORIGINAL CHARACTER RIGHTS GO TO ME* Highest rank: #36 in fanfiction

"So if its words that you are looking for McKinnon, I am fluently gifted with the art of speaking. But I'd much rather spend every day showing you exactly how I feel, knowing that you're mine and that we belong together." Its Marlene's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she wants nothing more than to pass Transfiguration in which she is hopelessly failing. But her struggle to improve her grades means crossing paths with fellow student Sirius Black, who just so happens to be ridiculously attractive, arrogant, and unfortunately her best bet to acing the class. She doesn't know why Sirius has suddenly taken interest in helping her, but accepting his assistance doesn't come without consequences. Her best friend Lily Evans seems to think that there is something more to the relationship than meets the eye, but Marlene has convinced herself that she does not like Sirius in that way. However, things get a little complicated when her feelings become conflicted, and it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin wondering if Lily was right all along. Finally admitting to herself that her feelings for Sirius are more than just platonic, she must decide which path to choose. Suddenly, she no longer just has Transfiguration to worry about; she must untangle the complications of her love life and finally tell Sirius exactly how she feels.

I thought I knew my ending - Year 1 and 2 by Maurille_

Lily Evans gets a second change in life to change her past and therefor the future of all those around her. The 22-year year old woman trapped in the body of her past self starts her first year at Hogwarts, but after a couple of months her memories of her past self start to fade. She gets more and more accustomed to her new life and soon forgets that she ever fell in love with James Potter or that her best friend will become a Death Eater. Good thing she wrote everything down in a journal that she will only open again after certain events have already unfolded. This story will take place during the marauders time at Hogwarts, all 7 years and one year after, during the war. I am sorry in advance for the alterations I made in this story that aren't aligned with the original story, but as you will soon discover it's way more interesting to change the timeline a bit and put Lucius Malfoy and Ballatrix Black in the same school as the marauders. (: Also English is my second language, so please keep that in mind while reading. I really enjoyed writing this story, so please enjoy (and also cry a little). I do not own, or claim to own any characters previously created in the works of JK.Rowling. Check out some artwork and illustrations I made for this story on www.instagram.com/maurille_illustration/
