ELLA-ROSE WOODS WAS A PURE-BLOOD WITCH AND A GRYFFINDOR. Her bravery, however, was not what defined her. Unlike the people she surrounded herself with, she was a quiet and a more laid-back Gryffindor. Stubborn until her last breath and a workaholic but still calm and relaxed. Her first years at Hogwarts has been uneventful until the last few months of her 6th year.
James Potter had come to her with a proposition so they could both have a little bit of 'fun'. She agreed with some convincing and thus started her friends with benefits relationship. Even through the summer holidays, she visited the Potters - mainly due to family connections - and their 'fun' times continued.
As her seventh and last year in Hogwarts rolled around, Ella-Rose realised that she was madly in love with James Potter but she couldn't bring herself to break their odd relationship up. Even if he was in love with Lily Evans, she was going to keep having him until she couldn't anymore. But when drunken nights lead to bad places and her father returns to her life after over a decade, everything turns upside for the witch.

DEDICATION; okay, this took me far too long to add in cause i kept forgetting but this book is dedicated to the wonderful phoebestonkin! her james fic 'check yes, juliet' is basically the whole reason this book exists so if for some reason you haven't checked it out, please do!! you won't regret it :)
PLEASE NOTE; that this contains explicit sexual themes, implications of sex, underage drinking and smoking, explicit language, general stupidness and more tba also, just want to clarify a few things about hogwarts in this section to avoid any confusion. boys and girls can go up both staircases to both the girl's and boy's dorms. my reasoning for this is that it works better for the story and the fact that it was only the girl's that had this 'safety' was stupid.
anyway, the other thing is each dorm has a bathroom. the bathroom has a bath, toilet and sink so don't get confused by that. and another thing i thought to mention is james/sirius' treatment of snape. it's something that is vaguely touched on in this and just to clear it up for when it is mentioned, james and sirus did bully snape in first & second year due to his views on blood, the fact he was slytherin (stupid house rivalry) & the treatment snape had of ella. when this book is set (the last year at hogwarts), james and sirius have grown and are not the same, they are still not perfect and do lash out at snape for certain things but it's not the extent to which it was in first/second year! people may not agree with my handling of this situation and how i portray it but it's what seems most logical to me (as someone who has experienced bullying to some extent in my first few years of high school, many of the boys have grown up by their last years in college/high school and don't care about me anymore so i'm only reflecting on my own experience of a*shole men :) )
