Book 3 of the Dark Blood Trilogy // In life, we tend to find ourselves locking away the parts that scare us the most or what we don't want the world to see. We are all terrified of something; it doesn't matter if that something is big or small. It is always there, looming in the corner, hiding in the shadows or lurking under our bed. I will admit this only once. I have never been more terrified in my life than in that moment, watching her in pain before me with my hands shackled and my body bound. How was I supposed to vow to protect her, when I couldn't even try. It was all my fault. A lot can change in fifteen years. People can change, faces change and life changes but not for Armena, daughter to the Dark Lord, and Draco Malfoy. They have been through death, disaster, loss, Unbreakable Vows, capture, torture, insane parents, and memory charms but they are about to face something entirely new. Something so dark, so wicked to its core that they might not even be able to save themselves. After all trickery and deceit aren't always what is right in front of us. **** A.N: This story is the 3rd of the DB series but you DO NOT need to read the others to understand this one. I present a lot of flashbacks and make sure to explain gaps. It will revolve around their children but will mainly be Armena and Draco. This story is darker than AYA and I would even consider it slightly darker than DB (with what I have planned!). This story will take you through Armena and Draco's life, as well as, the next generation of witches and wizards as they try to navigate and live up to their parents legacies. **** Cannon Divergence Present

Sequel to Dark Blood // Armena has been through hell and back in the past ten years, ever since she said goodbye to Draco. After Azkaban, living with Pansy Parkinson, navigating the Unbreakable Vow, figuring out how to move through life without Draco, being under constant surveillance, and working under Harry Potter at the Ministry of Magic; ten years later, she final feels a little like herself again. That is, until she must navigate her emotions when Draco begins working close with her as a new recruit to the Auror team. She now must decide between right and wrong, life and death, as Pansy and her figure out how to rid themselves of their Unbreakable Vow that they made ten years ago. A Vow that was a very big mistake and should never have happened. A.N. Canon Divergence Present: Highly suggested that you read Dark Blood before this but it is NOT necessary to understand the story. Please see author's note :) if you are new to this saga Rankings: #256 Magic, #53 Original Character

"Pansy watched as her friend faded away into nothing, as she dragged the wet rag down her bruise back. She watched as her once confident and mesmerizing friend, Armena Riddle-Lestrange, wasted away into thin air. She had to do something, she couldn't stomach to watch this anymore so she was going to do what she did best and fix this mess that was created. She was going to bring her friend back to life even if it killed her." Spin off of Dark Blood and As You Are, where we go through the life of Pansy Parkinson after that day at Lestrange Manor and the Unbreakable Vow. A.N. Highly recommended that you read As You Are for this story to make sense :) but it's not required obviously! Cannon divergence also present!

He hated her with every single inch of his entire being. She hated him just as much. He was a ex-Death Eater and she was the daughter of the most notorious dark wizards. The first moment he laid eyes on her, Draco knew she was going to be trouble. The bane of his existence and he was hers. Her dark blood was the reason he resented her. Armena Riddle-Lestrange has always been secluded from the Wizarding World, due to being the unwanted child of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange. That was until both of her parents were killed in the war. That was when everything changed for Armena. After being invited to join the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by Dumbledore himself, she was soon placed in the middle of a tight knit circle of Slytherin's. She tried to stay away from him but she found herself drawn towards him in ways she would never begin to understand. He was the wizard she had been trying so hard to avoid. Armena battles her demons within, as she embarks on her journey through romance, friendships and hatred. She will soon learn just how far will she go to seek the truth and how deep will loyalties lie. *** A.N. Please read introduction before reading to understand that Draco and Armena are NOT related. Since I am the author, I have made it so Bellatrix is a born into the Lestrange family. I know this is not how the Harry Potter series works but thats the magical world of story telling! I have also included the trigger warnings as well so please review! Anyways enjoy ✨ Overall Rankings: #2 Draco Malfoy, #9 Draco
