When We Were Golden

by Ms.Fortunate

Betty, Fran, and Oli were inseparable their 5th year at Hogwarts, but before they became friends they were simply trying to get through the school year one day at a time. Growing up in the wake of the wizarding war wasn't easy, but it was a little more tolerable knowing they had each other. (Coming of Age Marauders Era) / (Slowburn Sirius/OC)

1. Author's Note

Author's Note:

Because this is a bit of an unusual story, I think it deserves an unusual start (hence the author's note). What you're about to read is a coming of age story set in the time of the Marauders. It does have the Marauders, but is mainly about my OCs. Though it is also a Sirius/OC slowburn. I started writing this because I love stories about friendship and I wanted to read more of them, but sometimes I couldn't find them the way I wanted them written. So I wrote my own. It has some of my thoughts about growing up, feelings, and just things I wanted to share. Each chapter starts with an affirmation. Just something to think about, lessons I've learned that kind of allude to what the chapter will essentially be about. And ends with an author's note. So I hope you'll give this a try, and a big thank you to those of you who have.
