After running away from home, Sirius moves in with the Potters. A family friend spends the summer there as well, and she quickly becomes one of the few people who understands what Sirius is going through.
James Potter is convinced he’s found the only person in Hogwarts completely immune to his charm. A witty Slytherin girl couldn’t care less that he’s Quidditch captain, popular, or rich. Every attempt James makes to impress her somehow backfires. Meanwhile, Sirius and Remus are quietly navigating their own feelings, with James completely oblivious to the fact that two of his best friends are hopelessly in love with each other.
Head Girl Despite not being Head Boy, James somehow finds himself constantly working alongside the newly appointed Head Girl. She’s ambitious, sarcastic, and completely unimpressed by him. Over the course of seventh year, they go from constant bickering to secretly seeking each other out. Meanwhile, Remus becomes Head Boy and spends much of the year trying—and failing—to hide his relationship with Sirius.
During sixth year, a Slytherin girl notices her best friend becoming increasingly withdrawn. As he becomes entangled in dangerous obligations to his family, she refuses to abandon him—even when everyone else does. Their relationship develops against the backdrop of fear, secrecy, and impending war.
Two students from rival pure-blood families are forbidden from even speaking to each other. After being paired for prefect duties, they begin a secret relationship that could destroy both their reputations if discovered.
