Rachel Robbins never expected a single empty seat on the Hogwarts Express to change her life.
Sorted into Gryffindor alongside Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and the quiet, book-loving Remus Lupin, she quickly finds herself part of an inseparable group of friends. As the years pass, friendships deepen, pranks become legendary, and O.W.L.s loom ever closer.
But while everyone sees Remus as the shy, brilliant Marauder, Rachel notices the little things-the way he listens, the gentle way he teaches, the rare smiles he saves for the people he trusts.
She hides a secret she's carried since first year.
What she doesn't realise is that Remus may be hiding one too.
A slow-burn Marauders-era romance told through quiet moments, late-night study sessions, stolen glances, and a friendship that slowly becomes something more.
