Lebaniss
Holly Nova Black has spent her entire life carrying a name that everyone seems to know and a father she has never truly known.
Raised by Remus Lupin after her mother's death and Sirius Black's imprisonment, Holly has learned to rely on no one but herself. A proud Slytherin, an exceptional student, and a black cat Animagus, she refuses to let anyone see the vulnerable girl hiding beneath her sharp tongue and unshakable confidence.
When Sirius Black escapes from Azkaban during her fourth year at Hogwarts, Holly finally has a chance to meet the father she has spent years missing. But her hopes soon turn into resentment when she discovers just how much Sirius cares about Harry Potter, his godson. To Holly, it feels as though even her own father has chosen someone else over her.
Between her complicated friendship with Harry, the secrets surrounding her unusual transformations, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Holly has enough problems without Fred Weasley deciding that she's the most interesting girl he's ever met.
Fred is charming, reckless, and infuriatingly persistent. Holly is stubborn, guarded, and determined not to fall for a boy who seems to find amusement in absolutely everything.
Unfortunately for her, Fred has never been one to back down from a challenge.
As laughter turns into stolen glances and teasing becomes something neither of them knows how to explain, Holly must face the secrets of her family, the darkness within her own magic, and the terrifying possibility of letting someone into her heart.
Because some things are harder to escape than Azkaban.
And sometimes, the most dangerous magic of all is falling in love.
