Karou is the epitome of a Hufflepuff. Sunny and outgoing, she wants to brighten up everyone's day. True, she isn't the most stellar of students, nor is she little miss goody-two-shoes, but it's easy to see that she has a heart made of gold. But her seemingly perfect life is far from perfect. With her sister somewhat distant at her best, her dad touring the world, and her mother so obsessed with her work, Karou has always felt a more than a little alone, like it's always her against the world with nothing to shield her. Determined to make sure others don't suffer the same pain, she becomes a pillar of strength and love for those around her. But these traits that everyone admires her for might just be what makes her come undone.

Avila has a problem. First off, she's a hunter, as well as a witch, which didn't go over well with her family at first. But now, she's at a magic school, with people like her, except she's not at Ilvermorny like she's supposed to be. She's at Hogwarts. Now, she's the girl with a weird accent, surrounded by foreigners who are totally comfortable with this magic thing, and she's trying not to freak out. She's far away from home, she's got a large assortment hunter's supplies on her at all times, and she can't tell anyone why. 

Farid is trying to get back on her feet. Her whole family was sorted into Ravenclaw, and they expect the same of her. Ever since she was small, she was encouraged to take all classes available, and it's pushed her to her breaking point. She's lived in her brother's shadow, cut her hair like a boy's to avoid attention, and for what? Now, she's at Hogwarts, and the Sorting Hat's decision has severed her from her family. She longs to show them that she's not a cookie-cutter child but soon begins to wonder if focusing on her new friends, despite how much they misunderstand her, would be better for her in the long run.

*YES I KNOW JO AND ASH AREN'T RELATED BUT THEY ARE FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY SO SHUT UP* Mona Harvelle looked to be your average 20 year old girl living in Nebraska with her mother Ellen and 2 older siblings Joanna Beth and Ash Harvelle. Mona is close with her family seeing her family is all she has. Mona is not only the youngest of the Harvelle's but she grew up the most timid and shy seeing as her father passed away soon after she was born, she always felt some kind of void inside of her...some kind of hole in her chest. Her family would tell her stories about how great of a father he was which makes Mona upset because she'll never get to experience that. Due to that and her family business...oh and hunting of course life hasn't been easy for the Harvelle's since they had to move a lot for work. They had told Mona that they're also hunters who hunt monsters, which little Mona didn't believe at first until she's seen a few monsters with her own eyes. Before they had settled in Nebraska working in their Roadhouse, they moved a lot when Mona was young, so when she attended school, she kinda became a target for bullies and nobody knew about it... She didn't want to worry her family due to the hunting they do so she simply lied and said she fell but after that she's been nothing but a klutz ever since, she falls over her own feet, trips over nothing, sometimes she'll break things and hurt herself so her family doesn't really take her seriously these days nor do they know why it upsets her so much... Now being 20 years old and not having to learn anything about hunting or protecting herself, let alone have friends or people to talk to, she's simply stuck in this state of depression where she can't get out of... But what happens when a group of hunters visit and she ends up having the most fun she's had in her entire life? What happens next? Does she fall in love? Does she learn to hunt? Will she lose her family and those she loves?

Or will she meet the same fate as many before her? -------------- REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THIS STORY "This book is terrifying and amazing and I literally love it!" "...this story is very unique. There's been no mistake in my part for clicking the "read" button!" "Wow! The story plot is really good. It's really interesting-love it! Update pleeeease!" "I LOVE your book! It's amazing and I want to keep reading more...Amelia is one of the most perfectly formed characters I've ever read!" "This book just doesn't lose it's magic!" ------------------ Dislaimer!!!!!!!! Lots of the things in here are copied from the books, like the sorting hat song, and Dumbledore's speeches etc. Just to say, I don't own any of that, or the idea of Hogwarts. That all belongs to the one and only J K Rowling. But this is a work of fanfic so I feel like some copied stuff is to be expected.

Charlie X Reader, 'Playing With Fire' Book 1 (Series Completed) *** "Uh, yeah. I stopped going to classes a while back. Believe it or not, that's not good for the GPA. I had, like, a 26 average or something," I said like it wasn't a big deal. "Damn, that's not great," he admitted. He rounded the corner into Percy's room. I could hear Percy fighting with the twins in their room. "Why'd you do that?" he asked teasingly. "My dad died," I answered honestly. "Oh, shit. I'm sorry," he said and his face dropped. "It's alright," I dismissed. "Seriously, stop looking at me like that." "I can't help it," he said. "You're making it worse. You look like a wounded puppy," I whined. "Don't be like everyone else. I'm sick of people treating me differently because of this whole thing. Treat me normally." "You mean, like flirt with you a little bit?" "Well, I, uh," I stuttered. He grinned at me. "You're blushing." *** Seventh-year Y/N Y/L/N is what the professors would call a prime example of wasted potential, with an impressively bad 26% average. As far as she's concerned, she is past academic redemption. However, Dumbledore and McGonagall decide to introduce a new opportunity for struggling students, a scholarship that covers a trip abroad. Y/N is desperately in need of this scholarship if she wants to graduate from Hogwarts, but she is struggling through more than anyone knows. The only thing that is keeping her going is the family she's found with the Weasleys. They're an odd bunch and that's exactly why she fits in. Because she doesn't. Things are simple with the Weasley family. That is until she crosses a line with one of the Weasley boys, a path that can never be retraced. Y/N finds herself trapped in a web of lies that she had created. One spark and everything she has worked for could be gone in an instant. And she's playing with fire. This story contains mature content. Trigger warnings are included at the beginning of chapters. I hope you enjoy!
