(HP) Lena and Katherine DuFort find themselves swept away from France after a mysterious house fire claims their mother's life. Now, their father, who had been silent long after their divorce, has flown them to Britain to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, despite Lena's protests. Snobbish, stereotypical Britons is what Lena expects to find -  and find them she does - but she also befriends Marlene McKinnon and knocks into Sirius Black; a handsome, vain boy with both the popularity and the brains. 
                                                             
Soon, Lena's familiar, lonely lullaby begins to fade, and she finds herself in a bright, broken world full of dreams and death. The tears every night disappear and instead she finds herself swimming in a ocean of uncertainty and for once, hope.                                                             
                                                              
But in times of war, love and hope are scarce. Lena's nightmares become more and more vivid, and they remain ever-changing. The hole in her memory is still not fixed, and she begins to fear that her nightmares are linked to a darker danger that is pursuing both Lena and her sister - the same danger that perhaps haunted their mother.

Throughout her final years in the Wizarding world Lena encounters death, hatred, fear and happiness. She knows happiness is short-lived, but will she be willing to risk her world - her sister - to make it last?

After all, a war is raging, and they have been brought to the center of it.

"So we're alone," he said slowly. "That's a thoughtful observation," she whispered. She could feel her fingertips tremble slightly as they clasped around his hair. She didn't know why she suddenly felt so nervous. She moved her hands and allowed her fingers to trail slowly and gently down the side of his face and he involuntarily shivered at her touch. Eventually her fingers landed on his lips and she traced across them softly. They parted slightly and she could hear and feel him let out what she assumed to be an unintentional breath. He moved inwards, his lips pulling from her fingertips to hover near her ear. "I'm a thoughtful person." * After getting accepted into the Healer training program and moving to London, Marlene begins her life outside of Hogwarts. Despite the looming dangers of war, she has a pretty decent life; she has friends who care about her, a boyfriend who loves her, and the determination to keep fighting for a life worth living. But it doesn't take long for Marlene to begin questioning her choices. As the world is falling apart around her, so are her relationships and any certainty that she once had. Except for Sirius; the only certainty she has left in the world. However, war only seems to be threatening to tear them apart. She can't quite put her finger on what has started changing, but something certainly has, and love may not be enough to get her through it this time. It is only a matter of time before Marlene must make the most important choice of all; join the war or fall apart.

"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

"I don't know what you're all upset about Lily," Marlene said carefully, "This whole dance was your idea. You did know that dances require dates, right? And you've turned down several boys ... I figured you had a plan or something ... " In response, Lily just moaned, and threw her face back down into the pillow, "I did." Marlene raised an eyebrow, "Well, what happened then?" Lily pulled herself up into a sitting position, clearly about to go into a serious rant. "This dance," she sighed, "was going to be my way to ... well... ugh it doesn't even matter Marlene, he asked someone else." "Who!?" Marlene demanded, unsure of what to think, but despite the indications that Lily longed to rant, the redhead didn't answer. "You designed this entire dance just to get one boy to ask you out?" Mary realized, raising an eyebrow at her friend, impressed by the girl's ambition... ~ Lily designed a whole school dance so the boy she likes can ask her out. When he instead asks another girl, she must use the marauders and her friend Marlene to create the ultimate prank on James and make him jealous in return. Can they really pull it off? ~ Ships: JamesxLily RemusxMary SiriusxMarlene (I would have loved to have done wolfstar but Sirius and Marlene was already written into it) 34k words so sort of slow burn (no smut sorry lol), but it happens over the span of 10 days so.. idk ~ Achievements so far (thank you!!): #1 in Blackinnon #1 in JamesxLily #1 in LilyxJames #3 in Jilyfanfiction #9 in Jily First seven chapters written by @starfishbeliever on fan fiction.net and the rest was completed by me :)o
