WINONA POTTER HAS NEVER LIVED A NORMAL LIFE AND DOESN'T INTEND TO START NOW. She has semi-magical powers, runs her very own bakery, and is raising a living legend of a pre-teen. When her brother died, she inherited a lot more than the sum of her family's wealth. Although Harry is the light of her life, she lost a lot more that Halloween night. If James couldn't trust Sirius, then who can Winona trust? She doesn't have many people left to trust anyway. Harry is all she really has for a long time. That is until Remus Lupin reappears in her life after thirteen years once their ex-best friend breaks out of jail for getting her brother killed with his cardigans and cigarettes and sarcastic comments. It's all very complicated.
CORA LLEWELLYN THINKS HER LIFE IS THE EPITOME OF ABSOLUTE NORMALITY AND INTENDS FOR IT TO STAY THAT WAY. She is entirely free of risk, the dictionary definition of 'straight down the middle' and, although it may be boring, she likes it that way. She's a muggle-born witch, although her magical ability is arguably average at best, has a minimal assortment of friends, and the delicate art atop of the caramel lattes she sells often turns out warped and disappointing. And though she has people to rely on — her brother, Connell, for starters — she has never had someone to sell her whole soul to, to lean on completely, a dream she has steadfastly given up on by the time she reaches twenty-five. But life is never as it seems, and when Bill Weasley strides into hers looking nothing short of an incredibly gorgeous rock god, normality is quickly led astray. Then again, nothing's ever easy, is it?

( AUTHORS' NOTES )
Hello all!! Welcome to this very chaotic and adventurous fic <3 I can't describe what an honor it is to create something alongside my best friend like this. Her talent is something I can only dream of living up to someday.
Don't expect this fic to go smoothly, have quick updates, or be perfectly cohesive (especially towards the beginning)!! We're trying our best but writing alternating chapters with different POVs is gonna be hard to get the hang of lol. Hope y'all are here for this chaos though!

i'm so excited to work beside this complete dream of a writer, who's not only my best pal but so, so incredibly talented in everything she strives to achieve. even so, who knows how this will turn out? as Fiona says, this will be total chaos, but regardless, here's hoping you'll have fun and fall in love with our little mind creations as much as we have. lots of love and thanks again for stopping by — we hope you'll stick around! x
