In the Shadows

by CL-Avery

Claudia has never felt like an Avery. Her father didn't like her friends. Her mother didn't like her Quidditch. He brother didn't like her. While still at school, she begins to uncover her family's true allegiance. Unable to just stand by, she fights. With help from an unexpected ally in Sirius B. He's loud and brazen. She's quiet and thoughtful. Together, they make a great team.

1. Intro

The usual disclaimers apply. This is fan fiction and I do not claim to own the Harry Potter universe or any of the characters that appear in the original books.

I have started working on this story when I first read the books nearly two decades ago. I have the whole story for the OC thought out and about 80k words of rough notes.

I have finally decided start tidying it up, filling the gaps and uploading. The plan is to have a first book covering Hogwarts years (Marauder's era), a second book covering the first wizarding war, and a third one about the Harry Potter years. I will aim to publish a chapter every week.

I'm dyslexic, so occasional typos or missing word might sneak in despite extensive proofreading. For this, I apologise.
