[Preview of a Work in Progress; feedback welcome!]
Winter, 1949, upstate New York. Four boys (James, Theo, Scottie, and Lewis) live in the cluttered attic of an old dormitory at Bramwood, a crumbling ivory university buried in ivy. They have ambition and art; all that's missing is the money.
In walks Lucie with her romantic ideals, treacherous wit, and surprising air of serendipity. Happening upon a mysterious journal filled with a wondrous tale of forgery and fortune, rapacity runs rampant among the artists.
Nothing is more deadly than desperation.

Aymee has just turned eleven and Kingsley, her godfather, arrives at Half-Blood Camp to take her to London where she'll catch her train to Hogwarts. There, the students are frustrated : the Slytherins have been winning the House Cup for too long, they no longer have faith in it. Thus, the students secretly organized a tournament where every students of each houses will compete against each other. "Screw the House Cup!" Duncan explained. "Slytherins always win by cheating, it doesn't mean anything anymore! The sixth grades prefects got an idea : they organized a tournament! But it's a secret! The teachers don't know!" --- This English version is written in December 2021-march 2023 Around 91 000 words The cover is the work of @Flywater and I use the universes of JKRowling and of RickRiordan. Some jokes are from Pinterest of Tumblr, but most are mine. Please do not plagiarize! (To clarify the timeline : it happens in 1988-1989. Three years before Harry Potter comes to Hogwart, but the same year Percy Jackson arrives at camp. I know, the PJO's are in the 2000s, but it will be earlier in this fanfic.

A Boy From Manning Heights ✔️
"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon.

He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then.
