Dark marks. Bad decisions. Violent loyalty. They were never good people. Just loyal ones. A group of Slytherins forced to survive missions, obsession, jealousy, addiction, betrayal, and each other while slowly realising love can become just as dangerous as war. Everyone at Hogwarts thinks survival looks heroic. It doesn't. It looks like bruised knuckles, fractured loyalty, sleepless nights, dangerous relationships, psychological tension, and people coming back wrong. Somewhere between chaos, violence, devotion, and the terrifying things people do for the ones they can't lose, they stop recognising the people they're becoming. Especially Emillia Franjic.

I have found an ideal life. I have a loving husband, no work and no danger. This is exactly what I wanted when I ran away and changed my identity. But I just didn't think that I would have a thirst to be in danger. Next to him. Especially next to him. And sometimes our desires come back into our lives with a nasty cry, "I'm back from your past." I am crazy because I knew that he will find me and I love it.
