As life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry becomes darker and more dangerous with the rise of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Ivy Chapman struggles to balance school, family, friendship, and love. During her sixth year, Ivy faces difficult decisions, burning heartache, and terrible loss. But along the way, she finds friendship and deep-rooted feelings for a certain blonde Slytherin, who is dealing with his own demons too.
