Love Me or Love Me Not

by lollipop31398

"Either you love me or don't. It's about time you figure that out." The Golden Trio's kids are all grown up and now it's their turn at Hogwarts. If that wasn't bound to be crazy enough, throw in the Next Generation Marauders, an American transfer student with a love for all things Muggle, and way too much romantic drama, and it's bound to be another fun year at Hogwarts.

1. Prologue

So this is just an introduction. I know it rambles a bit, but the rest of the story isn't written in this manner.

This isn't just any story. You know boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they fall in love and live happily ever after, but this isn't that. Technically, yes, this is a love story. Its roots will be found amongst all the other sappy romances, but I believe it's more than just that. It's a story of hardships, healing, friendships, and of course Quidditch, because what story is complete without a good old game of Quidditch?

My name is Arianna Ashford, and no, this is not just my story.

This is the story of a girl running from her past, trying to find a new future, desperate for another chance.

This is the story of a boy trying to find his own way through life, trying to escape from the shadows of greatness he lives in.

This is the story of a girl, far more troubled than she would have anyone believe; burdened with secrets she won't share.

This is the story of a boy who just wants to have fun, but is burdened with the ever-present reminder of a great loss.

This is the story of a girl walking through life, passing by those great moments, too afraid to live life.

And that's only the surface of the story.

So yes, this is a love story. But more importantly this is our story.

Thoughts?

So I've been wanting to rewrite LMOLMN for some time now. Looking back at the original version, I just wasn't feeling it anymore. It felt juvenile and unfocused. It'll still follow the same basic storyline, and the characters are still essentially the same. To all of those that liked the original, I hope you like the new version even better, and to any newcomers, I hope you enjoy!
