Ever the loyal daughter, Anastasia Black is focused on pleasing her parents and holding the together the crumbling relationship between her brothers. At first, she does not think the scarred and quiet Remus Lupin will put a rut into these plans. That is, until she stumbles upon him bleeding and broken in the infirmary. 

She doesn't know why he shows up once a month looking like he's gone through hell, but by healing him, she finds herself falling for someone her family would never approve of.

As her brother Regulus is brought into dark magic, and her future seems to be already written into the Black family archives, Anastasia has to make a decision: to guide Regulus from his dark path or to leave it all behind in hopes of a happier life.

Cracks [Regulus Black x Muggle] by les_fleurrs_du_mal

[Regulus black x original muggle character] [enemies to lovers] [kind of a slow burn] Flora, the muggle half-sister of protective older brother Remus Lupin, finds herself hidden away during the First Wizarding War for fear of werewolf attacks. Her life is lonely and quiet until Regulus Black, a former Deatheater and insufferable, arrogant prick, is also in need of sanctuary. Or, a story in which Regulus never expected he would fall in love with a muggle. [enemies to lovers] [regulus black x original muggle character] This fic was inspired by WizardGod's 'dirty old town.' I did have a similar concept prior to reading her work, so it's more accurate to say it motivated me to write this. The setup is generally the same, but this story is very different. WizardGod's fic is brilliant and I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it! Barty Crouch Jr. is tagged but he doesn't come into the story until chapter 23.

Bless This Mess (Marauder's era HP fanfic) by potterivygirl85

**Book 1 in the Bally Bloodline Series** Jasmine Bally, a Muggleborn Ravenclaw going into seventh year, prefers her school life to her home life, even when certain pureblood fanatics discriminate her left, right and centre. Her home life is helpless in her eyes, with a non-existent brother and a father left clinically depressed after the death of his wife, he no longer has the moral to love his daughter, leaving her to fend for herself, at least at Hogwarts she had closure. For Remus Lupin it is completely opposite. At home he doesn't need to hide his secret. He loves school, his friends are awesome, classes great and the food spectacular, but he is in constant fear that someone will discover his secret. He has always had a crush on a certain Ravenclaw since forever, but has kept his distance, for he is afraid of his condition scaring her. They would be perfect for each other, breaking each other from the cage they built themselves into. But darkness is coming to the wizarding world, hiding the true beauty of such a place. The closer the war comes, the closer everyone gets to disaster. "Oh, I go running 'round the Galaxy, baby, Waiting on my life to come save me. But there's nothing like Infinity, baby, It's this MESS that I BLESS when I break free." **Book 1.5 and 2 complete Book 2.5 out now**

Torn between loyalty to her family and the fear gripping Hogwarts, Kayla must unravel the truth behind Sirius's escape and confront the dark secrets that threaten to shatter her world. Will she believe the whispers of a killer, or will she trust the love of her fathers?

If only the twist of fate, foolish blood vows, and his desire for the Dark Mark didn't stand in the way of what was right before him. A wild enemies-to-friends-to-lovers' tale of possession, hate, humor, love, and Pureblood mania with a bit of a play on Shakespeare. What makes for a better story when some of the most noble and honorable Pureblood houses find themselves tangled in ways that they never dreamed of?
