[Harry Potter: The Marauders Era] The Rules of Rebellion

[Marauders Era, free story, written for love, please read the whole blurb]

"Hey, have you ever wondered what it would be like to give the Black brothers a different ending?"

Antares has two stars: Sirius, the brightest star in Canis Major, and Regulus, the heart of Leo.

[Nobody understands the stars in the sky, but everyone loves looking at them. If one day I become a star in the sky, will you still remember me?]

The day Antares was sorted into Gryffindor, the entire magical world was stunned. Mrs. Lestrange even sent an urgent Howler to Hogwarts.

But the Howler never completed its mission, because Sirius Black burned it.

[Bonus scene:]

Thirteen-year-old Sirius: There's no way I'm marrying Antares. Not in this lifetime. Arranged marriages aren't a thing anymore.

Sixteen-year-old Sirius (showing up with a rose between his teeth): Antares, I admit I'm falling for you. Could I... (gets pricked in the mouth) (hurries off)

Antares rolls her eyes: ...Remember to pull out the thorns next time.

[Reader's guide]

1. The pairing is Sirius Black.

2. The heroine will have an ex. She's got a scheming personality, so proceed with caution if that's not your thing.

3. Bookmarks and comments keep me writing, so send them my way! Updates weekly during exam-prep season.

4. There are original details, but I'll do my best to research everything else. I drew the cover myself.

5. Everyone from the Marauders Era will grow over time. The heroine isn't perfect, and neither is anyone else.
