Description

Things are going missing around Hogwarts. Everything from quills to chocolate to cheap or priceless jewelry. No one is safe from the mysterious thief, not even the professors. Dumbledore has lost a purple robe with galaxies twirling around the fabric, and Flitwick has lost several stacks of papers that needed grading. Few people escaped the thief and those that were left alone were questioning why. Why them? What made them different from everyone else?

The Marauders have yet to lose anything to the thief. It was the beginning of their sixth year and everything was going swimmingly. The key word here is "was," because soon they lost something incredibly important. They lost the map. The Marauder's map vanished a few days into the school year. It didn't grow legs and walk away, they made sure to protect it from something like that. Hogwarts resident thief had struck again, and this time, the victims would do everything in their considerable power to find out who was behind the theft.

During their investigation Remus happens to slam into a fellow Gryffindor, Estrella Quinn. The two become close and before they know it, they're dating. But, each is hiding a secret from the other. Can their relationship survive the unveiling of these secrets?

Quotes

1-"Do you think I asked for this? Do you think I want to be this way?"

"I-"

"Believe me, I have tried and tried to stop. It never works. That itch just comes back and the longer I wait the worse it gets."

2-"No risk. No reward."

3-"I steal things and I do it very well. I deserve an award. Strike that, I deserve two awards, because I give things back."

4-"You don't strike me as a thief."

"That's what makes me so good at it."

5-"Listen to me Remus, I could care less that you are a werewolf. Just because you have a little furry anger management issue once a month doesn't change who you are as a person. And you are amazing and practically harmless. I mean come on! You knit and you fold your socks. I use yarn to play with my cat and I throw my socks in the corner."

6-"I feel like Robin Hood."

"Didn't he steal from the rich and give to the poor?"

"Yes."

"You steal from everyone, not just the rich."

"That's true, but I steal from those that don't appreciate what they have. I then give the things I steal to people who would actually appreciate them. So, I'm kind of like Robin Hood."

"Yeah, if Robin Hood also kept some of the cool stuff that he stole."

Additional Information

•Estrella is an orphan, she has struggled to survive and that ties into her issues.
•She learned to pickpocket at the age of seven. She was taught by a fellow orphan named Felix Samuels. (It's your choice if you want to include him in more of the story than just a background character.)
•She loves chocolate and shiny things.
•She lived on the streets in muggle London until she got her Hogwarts letter. She fences some of what she steals so that she can have money. She also knows a lot of pop culture.
•She gives most of what she steals to people that deserve it. When she gives someone something she leaves a note. It is not common knowledge that Estrella gives some of the things she steals to new owners.
•She has a best friend in Ravenclaw, Alastair Latimer and another best friend in Gryffindor, Bridget Lynx.
                 •Alastair is kind of like a young Sherlock, but he's not as much of an ass. He also is clueless to modern muggle culture.
                 •Bridget is happy and bubbly. She is a positive person and can be described as a "ray of sunshine," but she can snap if you insult her or her friends.
•Estrella can have a nickname or two. (Possibly Ella)
•She is a brilliant thief. It should take the Marauders some time to catch her, and she could maybe even leave them hints and taunt them. Estrella thinks of it like a game. This is fun to her.
•She and Remus can nerd out together.
•She is either in Gryffindor or in Ravenclaw.
