Mary Macdonald

A new school year at Hogwarts is starting for the Golden Quartet, and it doesn't look good.
As the Marauders try to pick up the pieces of a damaged friendship and Harry struggles to get used to a new family and a new identity, Neville has to deal with his resentment for a role in the wizarding world that wasn't supposed to be his and discovers that maybe there's a reason if he belongs in Slytherin.
Meanwhile something obscure is crawling, menacing the safety of the students inside the castle...

As Miranda slowly recovers from her Romanian adventure, Severus struggles to conceal the depth of his feelings for her. A spy can’t afford to fall in love at all, let alone with a woman as bewitching as she is capricious.
But hidden feelings may be the least of their problems. Miranda is partnered with Remus Lupin on his mission to win over the werewolf packs of Great Britain. And Severus is ordered to preform a secret task so terrible, Miranda’s love—and his very soul—may be the cost.

one day, james potter has the absolute brilliant idea of leaving a positive, affirmative, and absolutely anonymous note on the office bulletinboard for lily evans, the woman he's been in love with since, well, forever. the thing is - he didn't address it and before he can come to terms to the fact that he did that and that the idea might not have been so brilliant after all, his coworkers and friends catch on and are determined to figure out who send it and who it was for. and so james pretends that he doesn't have a clue. but then more notes start to appear, notes that he didn't write, and thus it gets more complicated than he ever thought it would get. oops?

Hogwarts was a place where dreams were supposed to be realized. Where students were encouraged to dream of all they could be. But in a time where war made monsters of them all, there was no place for dreaming. Follow the girls of Gryffindor as they come face-to-face with their own demons. Are they strong enough to face the shadows or will they be consumed?

Evans was certain about everything, and convinced she had the right of it all, especially when it came to James Potter.
James was equally as certain that nothing in life was ironclad or inevitable as she seemed to make it out to be, except perhaps, for the pair of them.
An eternity, at times, can fit into a handful of years, a hundred kisses, a cheeky phrase.
