Caelia Beatrice Carter is a half-blood witch who's been best friends with Harry Potter since they were five years old. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, she finds herself questioning everything she knows. Can a Hufflepuff be friends with the Golden Trio? Where could her soulmate be if no one at Hogwarts has her soulmark? And, really, how did the swoon worthy Tom Riddle fall so far as to lose his nose? Whether all of those questions get answers remains to be seen, but Caelia sure knows one thing. The world is much bigger than she could have ever imagined.
