A/N: Hello Lovelies, this one is extremely different from Adeline's POV. I would recommend reading both ofc, no TW enjoy :)

Dinner was over quite quickly but I was caught up in my conversation about Quidditch with the girls. We were discussing the world cup and Viktor when I noticed Adeline approaching the table awkwardly. I waved her over with a smile and I noticed Lottie and Maryann doing the same. Most of the people had already left but we must have been too distracted to notice.

"Hey, I just wanted to give you your bag before I leave. McGonagall said I needed to choose someone to show me around so the twins have accepted that position," Adeline said with a slight annoyance in her voice, while handing me my bag over the table. I set it underneath the bench with a grateful smile, but not before I slid my willow wand out of the front pocket. I had almost forgotten all about it!

"Oh, Cedric will probably show you around since he's a prefect," Maryann said while shifting her gaze to the boy. I assumed one of the older prefects had taken the younger Hufflepuffs because they were nowhere to be found.

"Uh yeah sure!" I smiled at them again before turning to Adeline who stood like a stick. She was super uncomfortable but I wasn't entirely sure why "Thanks for bringing my bag."

"Yeah, of course, are you doing okay?" She lowered her voice in seriousness again and looked at my friends in wariness. Adeline, a very trusting creature that one...

"Oh yeah, I'm good. Glad to be here," I smiled while the girls next to me chuckled, I gave them a quick little glare before turning to Addy again, "Are you okay in Gryffindor?"

"Yeah definitely. The twins are nice to have, aside from the constant teasing," She said with a smile. I giggled a bit as I, of course, knew what it was about. I checked and saw Cedric still laughing with his friends a few meters down the table.

"You mean the Cedric teasing?" I said with a bit of an eyebrow wiggle. She looked at Lottie and Maryann with an uncomfortable smile. She really shouldn't be so worried, they were quite kind... and it wasn't exactly a secret.

"Yeah...that teasing," she blushed slightly and a smile appeared on her face.

"Wait! You like Cedric?" Lottie said with an excited smile, eyes darting back and forth between Cedric and Addy.

"More like Cedric fancies her," I said with a bit of a smirk, Addy smiled awkwardly again.

"Ooo the new Gryffindor and the Hufflepuff prefect, how exciting!" Lottie said again with a mischievous smile.

"Uh, yeah...anyway, I should get going. I have the twins waiting in the hall, I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable," Adeline said, desperate to leave the situation. She was quite awkward around people, and I gave her a sympathetic smile.

"Yeah, I'm all good! I'll see you later Adeline." I said as she quickly rose from the bench she had perched on a few minutes before. My eyes widened as I realized that she was about to run into a certain someone. I brought my hand up and began to say something before she had already collided with the tall figure. Cedric looked a bit taken back as he brought his hands down to steady her, but he quickly smiled at the sight of her face.

"Sorry Adeline, I was coming to get Juliet for the tour," He was laughing a little in between his words and it only made Adeline's blush deepen. She stood there not saying a thing and Cedric stood there waiting for any sort of response.

"It looks like Cedric isn't the only one crushing," Lottie whispered into my ear and I covered my laugh with a bit of a cough.

"Are you okay?" He asked while looking down at her with a bit of worry on his face. Addy seemed to realize just then that she was actually supposed to speak to the boy and she was able to push out a weak response.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry Cedric," She turned slightly to see us all smiling amongst ourselves. We were quite happy with the situation she was in right now... they should've just kissed right then and there.

"I've got to go," Adeline said quickly and practically ran away from Cedric. Looking like Filch... Jiminy Christmas. I mentally facepalmed myself for Addy and then looked up at Cedric, he seemed a bit confused but then turned his attention towards me again.

"Are you ready?"

"Definitely," I said with a smile as I grabbed my bag and put it over my shoulder.

"Can I join you?" Lottie said with a smile. She didn't really wait for an answer as she stood up with me. Maryann smiled and sent a nod towards the boys Cedric had just separated from, she was going with them I suppose.

"Follow me," Cedric said with a slight nod before heading out the door with us in pursuit. I thought it was kind of Lottie to join us, she had already seen the castle to most of its extent but still decided to tag along. As we left the doors a scream erupted from a bit down the hallway, my eyes shot up as I searched for its source... I recognized it to be Addy's.

When I found her, she was scolding the twins for frightening her. I turned to see Lottie and Cedric sharing a chuckle over the situation, but I just smiled in amusement. She was going to have a fun year with those two. Adeline turned to look in our direction, following the twin's gaze. I shrugged at her in answer to her mental question. Yeah, Cedric had seen that whole ordeal.

We turned down a separate hallway, where not many people were walking. It was quiet for a bit until Lottie whispered in my ear for the second time that night, "They'd be adorable together! Now we just gotta find you a suitable match!"

She laughed it off as a joke but in my mind, I knew that I had already chosen someone... I had only talked to him twice! Even in those conversations, I hadn't even said an actual word to his face. I truly didn't understand why I couldn't get his smug smile out of my mind.

______

We had toured a lot of the school and I had hardly remembered a single thing. It was quite amazing how big the castle was but it was incredibly hard to remember it all. Lottie had spoken almost the whole time, sharing stories about each place and warning me about the dangers of others. Not many things happened, that was until we reached our common room.

We walked towards the dining hall again, before turning down a couple of ramps. We eventually reached a dimly lit hallway that housed many large portraits of different foods. One huge painting stood at the end of the hallway and Cedric smiled as I eyed it in wonder.

"Watch this," He said with a smile, before reaching up and lightly running his fingers over the large green pear in the corner. The image changed and shifted into a physical knob, Cedric pulled on it and it opened into a huge kitchen. It was filled to the brim with food and pastries, and I gaped at the large space. Cedric laughed at my astonishment and turned to Lottie, "Great, we got another lover of food!"

Lottie laughed and pushed the portrait closed again. Suddenly, she gasped and dragged me towards a bunch of barrels in a small nook on the right-hand side of the corridor. We went behind the stack to see a bunch of huge barrels that were in the wall, their tops sticking out slightly.

"You think that's cool? Watch this!" She rapped her knuckle on the middle barrel in a pattern that I was unfamiliar with, and the top swung open. I peered inside to see a wide tunnel, it's only light coming from the magical yellow glow emitting from the wooden walls. The bottom of the tunnel had a soft, yellow, plush to it, in what I assumed to keep your knees from scraping on the wooden floor. It was quite large and could easily fit two people crawling side by side through it, while the height was just as comfortable.

Lottie looked like she was about to crawl through when Cedric pushed the top closed. We both looked at him in confusion and he smiled before he started to explain.

"You need to tap the middle barrel, two from the bottom. Tap it in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff" and it will open without trouble! Although I recommend you don't do it wrong, the consequences are quite unpleasant," Cedric said with what seemed to be a knowing cringe.

I took a gulp and walked towards the barrel he had tapped. The large barrels formed a five by four square, so you had to count them to be sure it was the right barrel in the first place. I found it and took a deep breath before knocking on it, mumbling 'Helga Hufflepuff' to be sure I got it right. The door decided to take a dramatic second before swinging open, and I smiled in triumph.

I looked towards Cedric and he motioned for Lottie and me to head in before closing the door loudly behind us. I was a bit confused as to why he wasn't entering the room with us but I turned around again to catch up to Lottie who was already sliding out the other side. I pushed my bag through first, before switching my body, so that my legs went down first... I think it would have been quite embarrassing to go careening headfirst out of the entranceway.

I picked up my bag and dusted my knees before looking up... my mouth immediately fell open, "Woah."

Lottie smiled in pride as my eyes scanned the room. The area was filled with warm light from the fireplace, while multiple big round windows were dark from outside but still provided a slight warmth from them... they magically lit up the room with a warm light. Long grass and flowers shook in the wind from outside, their shadow forming on the yellow rug. A large portrait of who I assumed to be Helga Hufflepuff sat over the large fireplace and smiled warmly upon my arrival. A large, honey-colored, wooden, mantelpiece with badgers carved in it sat underneath the lady.

The room itself had a low ceiling and was round, with two separate round doorways on each side of the fireplace that opened into a network of underground tunnels. I assumed they led to the dorms. Many plants hung from the ceiling, shelves along the wall, and windowsills. Some of them were moving on their own and some just seeming to be normal house plants. There was even a tank in the corner that had various seaweeds growing in it.

I turned my attention to the furniture. There were multiple yellow and black overstuffed sofas, loveseats, and chairs littered across the common room. One or two desks and night tables sat beside copper lamps, littered with plants. Quilts hung on the wall in decoration or were thrown on the multiple chairs, pillows lied on the ground near the fire. Vines grew along the wooden walls from their original plants, and in one corner a single burner sat. A copper tea kettle lied next to several packets of warm drinks, coffee cake, and 2 large barrels of something.

"This... is amazing," I said while still scanning the beautiful room in awe. Lottie smiled and nodded in agreement, she spun around and landed on the sofa that was directly across from the fire. I sat down next to her and felt the softness of the seat in amazement.

"It's good to be home," Lottie said with a smile before leaning her head onto my shoulder with a sigh. The heat from the fire was perfect, and I was sure that I would never be cold in a place like this. I smiled and agreed with her statement. It really did feel like home.

After a bit of relaxing, Lottie got up reluctantly and grabbed my hand, "I better show you to your dorm!"

We pushed through the door on the right-hand side of the fireplace and entered the first tunnels. Roots broke through the sides of the walls but not a single creature was to be seen, at least from what I could see in the dimly lit walkway. We turned left at a forkway and then walked to the last door in that section. Lottie opened it with ease, to see a cozy little room.

This room also a\had a few windows that poked out into the night. Plants decorated the sills and shelves, a small fireplace sat at the far left, just as in the common room. Another round doorway branched off into what I assumed was a bathroom and shower. Four beds sat in a half-circle around the round room, each accompanied by a small night table, a copper lamp, a copper bed warmer hanging above the headboard, and a yellow and black patch quilt as a bed cover.

I noticed my trunk sitting at the end of the second to last bed, along with Tito who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. I also noticed that one bed beside me had not been filled, Lottie moved by me and flopped down on the bed right next to mine that had the trunk beneath it.

"Maryann and I volunteered first to share dorms with you right before the quarter started, so Professor Sprout thought that in rewards we could have an empty bed! So it's just the three of us this year," Lottie explained while she moved her handbag to her bedside table. I walked over and did the same, careful to not wake Tito up. There was still plenty of space on the table, which I smiled at. It would be perfect to place my books.

"Are you allergic to cats?" Lottie asked quickly before unlocking a kennel. I smiled and shook my head no, and she beamed, "Good! Kalatheme is very sweet, you'll probably like her a lot!"

Out ran a large puffy grey cat and I smiled. I happened to love cats so I took this as an absolute win. I realized that I hadn't introduced my animal yet so I walked over to him gently, "My chameleon's name is Tito! I understand it may seem like a silly name, it's more muggle than witch related."

Lottie lunged over her bed in curiosity to look at my chameleon in his little enclosure. Luckily, he wasn't going to grow any bigger than what he was now, which is pretty tiny.

"I've never seen a chameleon in real life before, could I hold him sometime?" She asked in wonderment as she stared into the misty ball that held Tito captive.

"Of course! He's quite friendly, although he likes to crawl up your arms," I said with a smile. I looked towards Maryann's trunk and bed which was next to Lottie's, she didn't seem to have any animals.

"Maryann has animals at home and a family owl! She owns a dog, but since they aren't allowed at Hogwarts she can't bring him in," Lottie explained when she saw me look towards Mary's bed. Whoever made that rule was absolutely bonkers, who wouldn't want dogs at Hogwarts?

I had heard Lottie talk about the owlery as we were taking the tour with Cedric so I figured that was where our owls were, seeing as how her cage was empty and resting at the end of my new bed. I then lied on my bed absolutely exhausted, and Lottie turned to me with a grin on her face.

"Are you ready to have some fun?"

"Fun? Doesn't curfew end in a little bit?" I said while turning to face her with confusion on my face.

"Well yes but there was somewhere I wanted to take you before the night ended," Lottie said with a devious smile.

"And where would that be?" I asked her with a smile of curiosity.

"You said you liked stars right?" Lottie asked and I nodded, "Well then it's a secret!"

I groaned as she hopped up and began pulling me off the bed. All I really wanted to do was sleep, I suppose that was going to have to wait. We rushed through the common room greeting people along the way until we had reached the other side of the entranceway.

Lottie turned to me and grumbled, "We won't have enough time to go where I wanted to take you... oh well, we'll just have to make do with the courtyard!"

"Courtyard?" I asked, I was so confused. She didn't really answer but instead pulled me along with her down multiple hallways. We were walking quite fast, presumably because the curfew was about to take place soon.

"Come on, we have to hurry!" Lottie said while grabbing my hand and rushed out of a door that was closing. We were able to barely slide past it, as it slowly closed by magic. I looked at it out of breath, wondering how we were going to get back in.

"I didn't really think about that... One of the prefects always check to be sure everyone left the courtyard... we'll have to ask them for help," Lottie said with an apologetic face, but I looked past her into the space that occupied the middle of the outer hallways. I smiled and realized why she had decided to show me this now.

There were millions of lights twinkling throughout the small courtyard, all emitting from little pixie-like creatures. They obviously weren't pixies, as their faces resembled humans, and they smiled kindly at us. I walked into the grass with a huge smile on my face, I explored the small courtyard lit up by the soft yellow, pink, and light blue lights...

"Fairies, they are quite sensitive to judgment. So they hideout until dark, when everyone has left the courtyard. Seeing as this is their home Professor Dumbledore likes to close the doors to help them feel comfortable," Lottie smiled at one particular fairy, and she came down on top of her finger gracefully. They seemed to know each other as they slightly touched foreheads. I looked at the huge tree, following up to see a figure with blonde hair speaking to the small creatures.

"Hello, there," The girl said in a soft voice as she realized that we were looking at her. She slid down the tree with a smile on her face, "Beautiful creatures, aren't they? Very talkative."

I turned to Lottie and she seemed just as surprised as I did. The girl smiled as one of the fairies landed on her head, a jingling bell-like sound came from the fairy making her smile and focus her attention on me.

"You're new here, my name is Luna Lovegood. You're going to have a great time at Hogwarts," Luna lowered her voice and leaned closer to us, "Especially since the fairies like you, good luck always comes to those they like."

"You can speak fairy?" Lottie said with astonishment. Luna grew a bit of a far off look before nodding at us slightly.

"It isn't that hard when you have the right tools," Luna said, proceeding to pull a small shell out of her ear, "I have a few more if you'd like?"

"Are you sure?" Lottie asked, but Luna already began to pull two small items out of her pocket. One was a light pink, and the other a lightly swirled purple. She held out her hand as if to give them to us, "Thank you!"

Lottie was the first to grab the light pink one, she gently put it into her ear and her face lit up. She turned to us in wonderment as her eyes darted around, "I can hear them!"

I looked at Luna and then put the round object in my right ear gently. Suddenly all the little bell noises turned into light singing, I could now tell that some of the fairies were dancing along to the tune.

Caught beforehand

Falling forward

All in front of us

Light bestowed

The heavens open

Was it obvious?

I recognized the song immediately, it was one of the last songs I had listened to before getting on the train to London. I turned to Luna in a bit of confusion, and she smiled lightly, "Is this song from you? It is quite lovely, I haven't heard it before."

"Yes, it's one of my favorites. But it's a muggle song how do they..." I trailed off as a light pink fairy hovered in front of my face, She smiled and giggled, her flower petal dress flowing around her in rhythm to the soft song. She leaned her head towards mine and Luna spoke up.

"She wants to thank you for the song. They like it greatly," Luna said softly. I remembered what Lottie did earlier, I connected my forehead with the small fairy for a second. Warmth and happiness spread through my face and I couldn't help laughing in pure joy.

"Fairies are quite musically and beauty oriented beings. They have the special ability to hear the songs that are stuck in people's heads," Luna said with another far off smile. The fairy left my forehead and lightly flew off to join the other dancing ones, "They believe that you two are quite beautiful as well."

I wasn't sure where she was getting this information, as all I could hear was their singing and giggles. Lottie giggled again as some fairies twirled her around with the sweet music, and I smiled. Luna began to lightly sway with some fairies as well. Two more flew up to my face and I went along with it as they lightly pushed my hands up in an attempt to get me to dance.

The music seemed to take over the courtyard and the tune changed. Into a lighter, peppier, song that I didn't really recognize. Luna began twirling and dancing with the fairies, along with Lottie and me. I laughed as I felt pure joy coursing through my body. We eventually formed a circle, which I had read about fairy circles before in Ilvermorny. We laughed and twirled in the motion of the round shape, the world seemed to stop.

Suddenly, the sound of a large door opening made all of the fairies stop their singing. In fright, they squealed and flew up and out of the courtyard. We were left in just the moonlight, all of us turned towards the now opened door. I could tell that it was Cedric's figure and my heart rate slowed down a bit.

"What are you three doing here? Curfew is in 15 minutes!" Cedric whisper yelled. I looked at Lottie and Luna in shock. There was no way we were going to make it to the common rooms in time, and I really didn't want to get in trouble on the first day of school.

"Come on then!" Cedric motioned for us to run. We began a light jog until we re-entered the brightly lit hallway. Luna looked to the left as we Hufflepuffs looked towards the right. I realized then that Luna must have been a Ravenclaw, signified by her blue attire. Cedric turned to Luna and placed a light hand on her shoulder.

"Do you think you can make it there on time?" He asked with seriousness, laced behind his words.

"I have my ways, no need to worry about me," Luna said with a light smile, "Will you be able to make it in time?"

"We'll have too," Cedric said with a sigh, but then accompanied it with a smile as if it was a challenge. Luna was already skipping away, as if Ravenclaw Tower was a few meters away. My attention was pulled back to our group when Cedric spoke, "Consider this part of your quidditch tryout."

"How did you know I played-" I was interrupted as he pulled on my arm and we started sprinting down the hall at an alarming pace. We slid around the corner, I was just following Cedric because I had no idea where the heck we were. Lottie picked up the pace a bit, her robes flying back behind her, evening the pace with Cedric.

"Does this count as part of my tryout as well?" She said in between breaths. I wasn't even sure how she was talking, I was keeping up nicely but I still couldn't breathe. Cedric suddenly stopped and motioned us closer to the wall. I could now see the staircase we had to run around, we weren't too far from the common room!

A man dressed in long black robes, with shoulder-length greasy black hair walked by with a look of disgust. Behind him trailed the Slytherin prefects and a younger Gryffindor, he was the only one to see us as we huddled next to the wall. His eyes widened but then he quickly turned forward again as if not to see us, and I let out a shaky breath.

We waited there for a few more seconds until their footsteps echoed a little bit down the hall. Cedric turned around towards us slightly, and then motioned for us to sneak across the hall. Cedric led the way, silently crouch-running across the hallway in front of the staircase with ease. Lottie followed closely behind, and soon it was my turn.

I took a deep breath and copied their actions, but when I barely made it to the other side I tripped on my long robes. I held my breath as my body flew out towards Lottie, both of us tumbling backward. The footsteps from down the hall stopped, and I heard a younger voice from down the hall.

"What is it?"

Cedric helped both of us up and we held our breath, I mouthed sorry to Cedric and he smiled with a shrug.

"Nothing," A deeper monotone voice drew out in a bit of hesitance. Soon the footsteps started back up again, still leading far away from us. Cedric smiled and we began to run again, around the staircase, down a few stone ramps, and through the barrels. Lottie tapped in the code, I jumped through first.

Lottie came in second and then Cedric shut the door last. In my rush, I forgot about the drop from the tunnel and flew forward headfirst. My legs flew over my head and I landed on a pillow in a humph. I quickly got up to let Cedric and Lottie slide down, we all stood there looking at each other in amazement and breathing hard when Lottie finally spoke up.

"Did, did we make it?" She said looking at Cedric. Suddenly a large chime came from a clock in the common room and Cedric chuckled. We made it!

I laughed and quickly the other two joined in. Lottie and I did a big high five before I turned to Cedric, "Am I still eligible for the team?"

"You were eligible way before we had to run halfway across the castle and avoid a talk with Snape within 15 minutes," Cedric laughed slightly, he had caught his breath quite quickly.

"It's about time you got here," we turned to see the boy who had been on the train with us with a large smirk on his face. I suddenly realized all the people looking at us with big smiles plastered on their faces, Maryann's being one of them. I must have looked ridiculous all out of breath, I realized my hair was probably a hug poof by now. I brought my hand up to my head and pulled the frizzy mess into a low bun.

"I don't believe we've met... besides on the train of course," the boy smiled at me, "I'm Pierre McCoy."

"Nice to meet you, Pierre. I'm Juliet Bloom, although you probably know that by now," I said with a smile. He was really cute and seemed quite kind. He returned it and then seemed to notice Cedric standing nearby.

"Darn it, McCoy, you're a doctor not a Hufflepuff," I muttered slightly to myself, as he turned to Cedric to start talking about something else.

"What did you just say?" Lottie said with confusion written over her face. I didn't realize how close she was, and I jumped slightly when she spoke.

"Oh! It's from a muggle TV show I like to watch, it's about- you know what nevermind, it was stupid," I said, suddenly realizing why Addy usually did the introductions. Lottie snickered slightly and my face reddened a bit.

"... and she plays quidditch," I heard Cedric finish to Pierre and he turned to smile at me.

"Planning on joining the team newbie?" Pierre said with a bit of a chuckle. I nodded and Lottie got excited.

"We're gonna win this year," Lottie said with a bit of a cheer. She hadn't even seen me play yet but had already decided I was the best out of all of them.

"I'm going to have to see for myself before I start planning the victory party," Pierre joked. Great, now they were expecting me to be amazing... I was good, but I didn't think I was overly talented at the sport.

"She's gonna knock your socks off, just you wait Pierre!" Lottie said with determination. Pierre and Cedric laughed, before turning to head for the boy's dorms.

"We'll have to see about that," Pierre said with a wink towards us and I rolled my eyes slightly, "Goodnight girls!"

"Goodnight, Cedric... and Pierre," Lottie said with a bit of sass as they walked through the door, "You are good right? I just bet my dignity on this and I don't like losing. Especially to McCoy."

I laughed and shook my head, "I guess you'll just have to see for yourself!"

We began to make our way to our rooms and I yawned loudly. I just wanted to sleep and Lottie seemed to be the same way, we opened our door and then pushed into the cozy room. I immediately laid onto my bed, kicking my shoes off in the process. Lottie began to grab PJs out and I realized I should probably do the same thing. I got back up again and then went into my bag to grab my phone, so I could put it in my nightstand.

As I leaned over the opening of my bag a large flash sounded and I was blinded by yellow. My eyes were closed but I could feel a powder coating my face and I sputtered out a bit of the dust that happened to get into my mouth. Lottie started cackling, and without saying a word I walked into the bathroom to look in a mirror.

My face was covered in gold glitter and a light yellow powder. A small little piece of parchment comically stuck to my forehead. I peeled it off and read the cursive lettering,  a smile grew along my face before I laughed loudly throwing my head back in joy.

"Congrats on Hufflepuff, Bloom! Don't think that makes you exempt from our friendship, this is just the beginning. Welcome to Hogwarts, home of the Weasleys!" The letters danced while a small jester wheeled on a unicycle through the words. As soon as I had finished reading it, the parchment tore itself up leaving no evidence of its presence.

I sighed as I realized the mess the prank had made. I grabbed a cloth next to the sink and started scrubbing my face, it didn't take too long to get the yellow powder off but the glitter took a bit more convincing. There were still a few sparkles in my hairline, but as I tried to pick it off it would just restick to my forehead. I grumbled slightly and walked back into the dorm again.

"Let me guess... the twins?" Maryann asked now standing in the doorway with a sympathetic smile. I nodded in response and Lottie smiled.

"At least you're on their good side, otherwise they wouldn't have done such a small trick! It means you'll be picked on a bunch more than most, but the pranks will be quite forgiving... remember when they turned your hair a bright yellow a few years ago Maryann!" Lottie snickered.

"Trust me... I remember. Crabbe picked on me about it for a week straight," Maryann groaned at the memory.

"Crabbe fancies her," Lottie chuckled and Maryann laughed.

"Well, he sure does have a way with words then. 'What's up mustard headed blood traitor'... how romantic," Maryann sarcastically swooned and I laughed. I then proceeded to unhook my trunk and take out some flannel pants and a black tank top. I got ready for bed while Lottie and Maryann talked about Crabbe and his friends.

"When do we get schedules?" I asked as I finally slid into the warm, extremely comfortable bed.

"Tomorrow morning they'll hand them out at breakfast," Maryann said with a smile.

The rest of the night went by quite quickly, and I was quick to fall into a deep sleep. It was mostly nonsense until a certain boy had decided to take me by the hands and dance around the fairy riddled courtyard. I laughed happily and a genuine smile crawled across his face, he was happy. My heart strained to see that smile in person, despite the challenges it could hold. What's a little pain if it'll end up in happiness?

A/N: brb crying

On a serious note, G and I have noticed that some books are extremely similar to ours. We wanted to make an announcement and say that this work wasn't inspired by any others. We created this on our own without any outside help.

Honest opinions? Vote? Comment?

If you got the Star Trek reference from earlier I will literally marry you right now. Juliet sometimes gives me so much Peter Parker vibes I want to cry.

Is there anyone/anything you would like to see over the course of this novel?
