*BOOK ONE* *COMPLETED* "I don't need your pity." Regulus began pulling a box of cigarettes from his pocket "I know how shitty my family is." He handed a cigarette to Astrid, who placed it in her mouth before allowing Regulus to light it with his lighter. Regulus watched as she took a draw, her cheeks hollowing out before releasing the white smoke from her perfect full lips. "Your right, pity is over rated," Astrid said cigarette in hand "Fuck pity." Regulus chuckled at her words "Who hurt you?" He asked lighting his own cigarette. "It doesn't matter," she said with a small smile "The world is filled with assholes, who cares anymore." "And I guess I'm one of those assholes," Regulus mused blowing smoke out from his mouth. Astrid turned towards him "The world is filled with assholes, but your not one of them Reg." "How do you know that," Regulus asked looking up at the cloudy winters sky. "Because assholes don't care about others as much as you do." // When Astrid Winston was transferred from beauxbatons; she didn't know she would end up befriend the strangest group of friends.

"Of all the people in the world, I had to be stranded here with you?" "Why are you sleeping during a life or death situation?!" "Don't expect me to fall into this cliche trap of hate turned to love... we either die together or live and never see each other again." You are forced into an arranged marriage and have only a boats ride left of freedom before being stuck with someone you don't know or love forever. Min Yoongi is the owner's son and captain of said boat that you clash with immediately and grow a strong dislike for. Little do you know that your ocean trek will be cut short by a terrible storm that leads you to fight for your life against the forces of nature, resulting in being stranded on a deserted island. This of course is the least of your problems. The real issue is who you become stranded with.

"It's unnatural. I won't stand for my son tarnishing the family name for some filthy half-blood." I clenched my fists and turned away from him. After the death of her godfather, Sirius Black, Delia Edwards flies back to London and is forced to start over, which is hard enough as it is being that she's a metamorphmagus. With Remus Lupin and Tonks as her guardians, she's sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her new friends she'd met at the Weasley's, including the famous Harry Potter. The one thing she can't wrap her head around is why the most hateful and pompous person at Hogwarts renders her unable to hide her emotions or think rationally. That person, of course, being Draco Malfoy. Editing slightly. Please keep in mind I began writing this about a year and a half ago so my writing style has changed and still is changing as time passes.
