Falling in love meant getting hurt, and Severus knew it from their first kiss. Neasa Casey was the only thing in his life unconnected to Voldemort, to the Order and the Marauders – she was his chance for a fresh start. But no one came without strings attached; he wouldn't realise until too late that Neasa Casey didn't exist.

Publishing this due to popular demand! Prequel to my other story, 'Auror Róisín Rí'. Gives the background on Róisín and Sirius' relationship. Róisín is training with the British Auror Office, Sirius is her mentor. Romance ensues. Contains spoilers for that book. Lots of Sirius and James banter. Set during First Wizarding War.
