Aria thought she'd never go back to Britain in this lifetime, until an owl brought news that Sirius had escaped from prison.
Standing in front of the Whomping Willow, she looks at the boy who was once so brave, fearless, arrogant, and dazzling, now gaunt and haggard, cautiously testing whether his godson would be willing to live with him.
She suddenly feels so sad.
"He shouldn't be like this."
She thinks.
Aria Tang × Sirius Black
Original female lead, canon couples remain intact
A slice-of-life romance between two Gryffindors
Two timelines interwoven
The next generation timeline begins with Book Three of Harry Potter
The Marauders' Era timeline begins in first year (Years One and Two are covered in just a few short chapters; the narrative pace slows down from Year Three onward)
I've read lots of imaginative, slice-of-life fanfics, and couldn't resist writing my own ideas.
I've recently revisited the Harry Potter series, and found so much more to appreciate than when I was a child.
To show the cruelty of war, so many beautiful things in Harry Potter are destroyed.
The Chosen One's journey to adulthood is filled with far too many regrets.
I'm trying to bring more warmth to the next generation timeline.
Theme: Writing this little story is my way of making up for my own regrets.
So pretty! Will there be updates?
