A Blue, Black Shade of Love
A Harry Potter and Game Of Thrones Crossover Story
Chapter One
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Harry Potter; the creative and awesome writer J.K. Rowling created the novels. The Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire are respectively owned by George R. R. Martin, HBO, and others naturally. The only thing I own is my imagination and any original characters that appear in this story.
Author Note: The main character is an original character, Valaena Targaryen (b. 260 AC), who will be the mother of Harry Potter. As much as I love the relationship of Lily Evans and James Potter, I wanted to do a story with a relationship between an Original Female Character and James Potter.
Essentially, Harry Potter characters and the Wizarding World's locations (such as buildings and what not) all exist within the Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire Universe. So, such places like Westeros (and the Seven Kingdoms within that continent), Essos, Sothoryos, and Ulthos all exist together with places like Hogwarts, , etc. I imagine it as being located in Valyria, where it was rebuilt with Magic, perhaps cleansed with a ritual, along with other locations that were once doomed and destroyed.
Summary: James Potter has been in love with Valaena Targaryen since he first laid eyes on her in first year. Valaena's feelings couldn't be more different towards the boy she considered to be an arrogant toe-rag. With Valaena's family seemingly shattering at the seams and trying to play cupid for her two smitten best friends, Severus and Lily, and trying to remain floating above the mountain of classes, Visenya doesn't want any more complications.
However, beautiful, fierce, and intelligent Valaena doesn't always get what she wants. Even if she is a Princess. Her desire to be not bothered by James Potter this year, is all but denied by the troublemaker that won't take no for an answer.
When James comes across a mysterious time-turner he stole from his father's office, and turns to Valaena for help, the two are suddenly thrust into an unknown and uncertain future. So many things are different eighteen years from their own time. Severus and Lily are married with children. Severus is a Potion Master's, Lily is the school's Healer, Sirius a Head Auror, Remus the school's history professor, Maddox the potions professor, while Frank and Alice are essentially brain dead.
So many other people they cared about are dead or traitors. Voldemort is gaining more power by the day and their once safe haven is in danger. The most shocking part of this unexpected trip is the fact that she has a son with the person she despises the most. Not only that, but she and James are dead, by the hands of Lord Voldemort, while trying to protect their son.
For once, trying to work together is harder than one would think, especially when the duo try desperately to change their futures. With the help of their old and new Hogwarts friends, will they succeed in making James and Valaena fall in love and survive what is to come?

James Potter and Valaena Targaryen's POV
"What do you want Potter?" Valaena Targaryen demands as she brushes away strands of her silver-gold colored hair that fell into her beautiful violet eyes. She rests her hands sternly on her hips as her eyes look on at James Potter in disapproval. He has been the sole focus of her disdain and antipathy since her first year at Hogwarts when he tried to catch her attention by playing a prank on her. That was the first and last time he ever did a prank on the tall, slim and hot tempered Princess.
James has been infatuated with her since he first laid his hazel eyes on her on the Hogwarts Express' Platform Nine and 3/4. Over time he continues to fall hard for her day after day, year after year. He obsessed over the fiery, intelligent, amazingly gorgeous, and every other compliment he could think up, Princess. He follows her around like a love sick puppy and Valaena hates it.
Valaena has more than enough devoted followers following her around. As one of the Princesses in Westeros and ruling over the Seven Kingdoms, and has done so for centuries, she has had more then enough of men wanting her and thinking she was a good little submissive wife to her husband-brother Rhaegar. Considering she and Rhaegar have been married for the last three years, and within those three years, they had two children already, Visenya who is two name days old and Aegon who is merely six months. Valaena just couldn't wrap her head around why the Potter heir would want her? Especially since she was married with children already and for the fact that she wants nothing more than for the arrogant bully to leave her alone. It was thanks to her that James Potter has not been hurt, or worse, by her guards. They had been sent with her by her father King Aerys, when she decided she wanted to go to Hogwarts for her schooling.
Since she had not let her guards do anything to Potter, it was up to Valaena to try and get him to leave her alone without using force. She has been constantly trying to get him to leave her be. She's tried snapping at him or glaring at him whenever he flirts with her, but it never seems to work. If it wasn't for his persistent bothering, she would have respected his determination. However, since it did bother her, she just wished it would stop. It doesn't help that she's the Gryffindor seeker, so she has to see him during practice. He always seems to appear wherever she is, no matter where she is in the castle. He was so infuriating! She can give dozen of reasons why she doesn't want anything to do with James Potter:
It's the way he smugly and arrogantly struts around the school like he owns it with his little posse, "the Marauders", following him. James is a tall, well-built boy, from his days playing Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, with bright hazel green eyes and untidy black hair that sticks up at the back. His skin has a light tan from days spent outside. He has an indefinable air of being well cared for and adored. At the beginning of fifth year, he started wearing glasses, although in his first few years he didn't. Valaena could only assume he does so because he thinks it makes him look more sophisticated.
His little followers are another reason why she can't stand the Marauder.
Sirius Black is tall and well-built from his days of playing Beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He's a darkly handsome boy with fair skin, long, lustrous black hair, striking grey eyes, and an air of "casual elegance". While he is a witty and talented wizard, he's also quite an arrogant and mischievous troublemaker with a bad habit of bullying with James. He's also the playboy of the group and second in command to the "Marauders". He is also to be the husband of her younger sister, Helaena.
Remus Lupin is a tall, thin built and slightly shabby dressed boy with pale skin, thick, light brown, nearly blond, hair and honey brown eyes. He's a very intelligent, calm, tolerant, fair-minded, brave, kind and good-natured person. He has the ability to see the good in almost everybody and is extremely forgiving. He also has an excellent sense of humor, and unlike Potter and Black, he never partakes in bullying. He always tries to maintain a civil conversation with those he doesn't get along with.
Peter Pettigrew is an extremely short boy with grubby skin, small, watery eyes, and a pointed nose. He speaks in a squeaky voice that makes Valaena wonder if he'll ever grow into it. His hair is a mousy brown and is a bit on the "fat" side. Despite having been sorted into Gryffindor, he doesn't possess any true bravery. He adores Potter and Black and follows them everywhere. Valaena had noticed in their first year how he latched onto Potter and Black, the more talented and popular students. He idolizes them and lives vicariously through their accomplishments. As well as joining them in bullying other students. Due to the huge difference in terms of talent, bravery, and popularity, Peter is more of a hanger-on than an actual equal.
Valaena hates the boastful way James acts towards everyone. It's like he expects every girl, except for Valaena and Lily, to fall at his feet and kiss the ground he walks on. While most girls would, and she could understand why, she would never admit to it even on the threat of torture. Valaena would never stoop down to that level. It was not in her blood to bow down to another. She was a Princess after all, people bowed to her. And she was not saying this in arrogance, it was simple fact.
She could barely stand being around Potter considering she can't be around the arrogant arse for very long before she blows up on him. She hates how he bullies people like Severus Snape, Xenophilius Lovegood, Samara Selwyn, Godric Max and her now ex-best friend Maddox Montague, whom she's known since her childhood years.
She despises how he calls her Merlin awful nicknames like "Val, Lana. Dragon, Love, Sweetheart, and many others. Given the choice she'd rather be hit over the head by a troll's club then deal with his insistent need to give her those awful epithets. She was not his anything and he needed to get it through his thick skull.
She also detests how he seems to have no respect for teachers, particularly Professor McGonagall, whom he and Black call "Minnie" whenever they see her. Valaena can continue on about the reasons why she despises James Potter, but it would take far too long to finish.
The only thing everyone needed to understand was she did not like James Potter, but Merlin that boy could be persistent.
Valaena could only wonder why he was so persistent. It couldn't be for the fortune her family held or the status of royalty. James Potter was Heir to the Potter family and the lands that went along with it, and they were only of the wealthiest families in Westeros.
"Well…" He trails off with an arrogant smirk gracing his lips, "you for one." He winks at her with a cheeky smile taking place of his smirk. Valaena's hands curl into fist as her face flushes red in annoyed anger. She inhales slowly through her nose before exhaling while mentally counting backwards from ten. James smiles internally at her flushed cheeks. It was so exciting and easy to rile her up that he keeps doing so. It also helps that she looks even more beautiful than she already is when she gets angry or frustrated. He loves how her cheeks flush and her eyes look like they blaze with purple fire in her irritation.
"I meant," she spat out, "what did you need me for that you had to drag me away from breakfast to…" She trails off as she looks around the room with curiosity. It has been nearly ten minutes since she was at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Potter had unexpectedly pulled her away by grabbing her hand from her delicious breakfast to the Room of Requirement, it looked like... "Is this the Room of Requirement?" She asks rhetorically. She had read about the room in Hogwarts: A History. She hadn't believed it to actually exists, but now she knows for sure it does. "Why did you bring me here?" Valaena demands as she impatiently waits for James to answer.
James grins as he ruffled his hair nervously. It's a habit he's had since first year, Valaena noticed. "You're intelligent, right Targaryen?" He asks rhetorically. Valaena huffs and crosses her arms over her voluptuous chest. It was rather insulting that he'd ask her that. Considering he would know from all his stalking that she was at the top of their year. She's even above her best friend, kind and strong willed Lily Evans.
"Look Potter I have better things to do than talk to you right now. Like eating breakfast and studying." Valaena replies as she turns for the door. She had to study for her N.E. and finish off her Arithmancy homework. She's been self-studying Magical Theory, Healing and Ancient Studies on the side. She had taken her O.W.L's for the subject and has had the fortune of going to the professors if she ever had questions about the topics.
Since their third year and above Valaena has been taking D.A.D.A, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Herbology, Astronomy, Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. It helped that Headmaster Dumbledore made it possible for her to take all these classes and do her self-study for the last three years. Valaena also needed to set up her two best friends, Severus and Lily. The two of them have been ridiculously in love with each other since they've been old enough to know what love is.
She knows that it went past the point of unreasonable when Lily was suddenly in need of help with her Potions homework. Even though she's in the top percent for their classes. "Wait," James insists as he grasps her hand gently. "Please, just help me out and tell me what this is." He pleads with a gleam in his hazel eyes. This is the nicest she's seen him act in Merlin knew how long. She sighs and decides to give him a chance. James Potter was not known to be kind.
"Show me it because I have things to do Potter." She states impatiently as she tries to take her hand out of James'. She's unsuccessful as his hand tightens around hers. She grits her teeth and bares it while she waits for him to show her what this object is.
"I just want you to identify this object for me, since you're brilliant and all." James explains charmingly as he looks at her. He stands at six-feet and is still growing, compared to Valaena's shorter stature of five-foot-eight-inches, makes it easier for him to look down at her.
Valaena looks unconvinced and doubtful as she raises her eyebrow. "As 'brilliant' as I am Potter," she states with a roll of her gorgeous violet eyes, "there are other intelligent people around to ask for help. Like Lupin, Lily –" she names some off before she's cut off by James' incredulous scoffing. She figured his nice persona wouldn't last for long. She also knew that asking Lily for help would be futile, since James was adamant about having nothing to do with Severus, whom Lily was always around.
"They're all strict rule goers and would tell me to put it back where I found it or give it to a responsible adult," the prankster explains with a smile and glimmer in his eyes that always leads to nothing good. "James Potter you put that back where you found it. You don't know if it's dangerous or not," James mimics outrageously, mocking the high pitch of Lily's voice when she's scolding someone.
Valaena snorts with amusement before she could stop herself. She holds her laugh back as she forces it away. James hides the small, secretive smile at her attempt to stop from laughing at his mocking. "You do realize I scold you and tell you off all the time?" She retorts with a smirk gracing her pink, plump lips. The devious smirk is beautiful, but on her angelic face it's unfamiliar to the love sick boy. James finds himself liking this side of Valaena as he's only noticed this side a few times. Those times are usually when he and the other Marauders are pranked in retaliation to any pranks that was particularly humiliating to one of her friends. He knows, though has no proof, that Valaena is the one that is doing those pranks.
"Of course I am," James replies with a shrug, "but I'm used to your awe-inspiring rebukes." Valaena fights the urge to grin again. A small smile forms anyways and though it wasn't a grin, to James it was still just as beautiful and bright. In his head, James has a mini party at the success of getting the object of his affections to smile.
James – 1, Valaena: 905, 476, 230, He thinks to himself with a small smile. It's well worth getting a telling off by Valaena. As long as he gets to be face to face with her when she's telling him off no matter the way it occurs.
Valaena ignores the fact that she just smiled at something James Potter said. She knows if her best friend was here Lily would be having a field day as she laughs her beautiful red head off. Lily has had a sneaking suspicion that Valaena returns James' feelings but is too stubborn to admit it.
"Hand it over," she finally relents as she holds out her hand. James grins and pulls a small object out of his black trouser pocket. He holds the chain loosely in-between his pointer and middle fingers, letting it sway gently back and forth. At first glance it was just a long, golden chain, with a loose circular pendant hanging off of it. Valaena steps closer and ignores the strange sensation that flutters in her stomach. She pulls the chain away from James' fingers.
Two circular, gold rings hang off the clasp; much like the planet Saturn and its gaseous rings, Valaena thinks silently. The inner ring had what seemed to be a small sand-timer. Inscriptions and carvings mark the surface, in writing she can't understand. "Where'd you get this James?" She asks. She's engrossed in the glittery golden necklace. She's seen this before, she knows she has, but for some reason, she couldn't recall what it was called. Which was odd since Valaena has a very good memory, many think she has an eidetic memory, and perhaps she did.
"Found it in one of my dad's drawers at home in his chambers." James explains. Valaena swallowed thickly at the sensation of James' eyes on her. He was rather brave, or stupid, to consider going into a Lord's private chambers without admittance from said Lord. She chews the bottom of her lip as she ignores this sensation and continues to look the necklace over. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that she felt James' eyes on here. It is not a rare occurrence and she doubts it ever will be.
She always feels his eyes on her. Valaena feels him watching her when she has lunch and dinner, sometimes at the other house tables, with her friends. He watches her when they're in class, whether she's working on an assignment or helping a fellow classmate out. She knows at times he gets distracted by her in a Quidditch game when she's flying around searching for the snitch. It always feels the same when she feels his eyes on her, but this time it feels different.
James is entranced, marveling the stunning girl standing in front of him. Her silver-gold colored hair falls in curls around her face. He fights the urge to raise his hand and run it through her hair. To keep from brushing the strands out of her face. Her eyes are a spectacular, eye stopping violet purple that dances in the light. He's noticed that whenever she smiles or laughs her eyes sparkle. Her straight white teeth capture her pink, full lip between them as she concentrates on the object she holds in her hand.
He's mesmerized as she blinks long, thick eyelashes that flutter against smooth, creamy pale skin of her cheekbones. Her long, delicate, thin fingers slowly touch the inner ring of the necklace. Perfectly groomed eyebrows furrow as she tries to figure out what the necklace is. It was at the tip of her tongue, she knows it, and she just can't seem to come up with the answer.
James is in love with Valaena Targaryen. He will continue to chase her from all places on earth to have her. He would fight against a group of angry trolls or face the Dark Lord himself to prove he loves her. Even though he knows she's married to her brother and has children with him, as if often tradition in her family, he doesn't care. He would stop pranking and targeting her friends, like Snivellus the greasy git and Maddox 'Mad Man' Montague if it means having her with him. He'll try and get his hair to mellow out or Merlin forbid, he'll start calling McGonagall "Professor" if it means proving himself to her. He'll even stop calling her those nicknames, that he knows while she outwardly acts like she doesn't like them, secretly she does.
He knows he doesn't act like the nicest guy, but underneath it all, he is a good guy. Even though his parents aren't around as often as some parents, due to being the Lord and Lady of Stinchcombe, they raised him correctly. He loves his family and friends and will do anything to protect them. He does all his homework and keeps his grades up, as he, along with Sirius and Remus, are in the top percent of their year. He, along with Sirius, want to be an Auror after graduating Hogwarts, so he has to keep his grades up. He keeps his pranks from being too horrible, he was good, and he wants Valaena to see that.
He figures this was the best time to do that.
James steps closer and leans in, his head dipping closer towards her. He inhales and he can smell Cherry Blossoms, vanilla, and something smokey. She smells wonderful, she smells like a spring day, surrounded by flowers in a garden. It was a complete contrast to what he smells like, since he's in his animagus so often he smells like the earthy forest after a rainy day. Or so his best mate has told him.
"James…" James snaps out of his thoughts by the sound of Valaena's shaky voice. He looks down at her with worry and concern. "I know what this is,"she states with wide, fearful violet eyes. "It's a time turner meaning you and I need to get as far away from each other as quickly as possible."
"What?" He asks in confused befuddlement. "Why?" James questions with furrowed eyebrows.
Valaena doesn't answer as she thrust the time turner into his hands again and tries to take a few steps away but is stopped by James' hand still holding hers. "It's dangerous for two time turners to be around each other at the same time Potter!" She exclaims angrily with her eyes shining in dread. She adjusts her collar and a glimmer of gold catches his eye. Valaena pulls the necklace up from underneath her shirt and vest, showing the exact same necklace that he holds in his hand.
James goes to step closer but both freeze in shock as the time turners begin to spin rapidly. "Oh god…" He hears Valaena whisper with thick panic in her voice. His heart gives a painful squeeze at the sound. The thought of her being afraid kills him. He knows it's his fault but he didn't mean to cause this.
James and Valaena freeze as the room, the school, the world starts spinning around them. Everything is spinning like the necklaces, James realizes in surprise as he looks at the two rapidly spinning time turners. The earth seems to shake, tilt and turn upside down in such a rapid speed that the two feel nauseous. Valaena stumbles into James as the room tilts again and is held protectively in his arms, before everything turns black and they're falling into nothingness.
