When strange disturbances begin appearing across the Romanian dragon sanctuary, the Ministry sends a curse breaker to investigate. Dragons are behaving unpredictably, nests are being disturbed, and no one can explain what is happening. The only person who seems to have any understanding of the creatures is Charlie Weasley, a dragon handler who has spent years earning the trust of the very beasts most people fear. Assigned to work together, Y/N and Charlie find themselves following a trail that makes less and less sense. There are no obvious spells, no witnesses, and no clear enemy. As they venture deeper into the mountains, facing dangerous creatures, freezing nights, and long days searching for answers, she begins to see the man behind the legend of Charlie Weasley. Beneath the soot, scars, and reckless bravery is someone patient, gentle, and far more vulnerable than he lets anyone believe. Charlie, in turn, discovers that the curse breaker sent to help him is not just clever and determined, but someone who understands the importance of protecting what cannot speak for itself. But some things are harder to investigate than a magical crime. Like why a dragonkeeper who swore he was perfectly happy alone keeps finding his way back to the same person. And why, somewhere between fire and frost, two people who never expected to need anyone begin to realize they might have found someone worth staying for.

Hogwarts is full of secrets. Some are in the hallways, some in the classrooms... and some are impossible to ignore. When a new professor from Ilvermorny joins the staff, she meets Cedric Diggory, a man with charm, patience, and a smile that's almost too dangerous. Their connection is instant, forbidden, and intoxicating. But secrets have a way of revealing themselves... and the heart isn't easily controlled. In a Hogwarts untouched by war, some of the most dangerous things are feelings... and the choices you make when no one is watching.

After the war, I told myself I was fine. I took over my aunt's coffee shop in Diagon Alley, and tried to settle into something soft and quiet. I had Quill, my gentle little dog. I had a routine. And I had the leftover echo of someone I used to love, Theodore Nott, a relationship full of silence, small compromises, and things I stopped doing without ever noticing why. Then Harry Potter began showing up. He doesn't come as a hero. He comes as someone tired, someone who carries too much, someone who looks at me like I'm easy to breathe around. And somehow, he becomes the thing I look for. The thing I miss. But dark magic is stirring again, people who still believe in old wars and old masters. When they come for Harry, they come for anyone close to him. He thinks stepping back will keep me safe. But I've already learned what it feels like to disappear in my own life. I'm not willing to lose something real again.

"Darling, Quiet. Don't want to be caught now do we?" Y/n Bardot, a troubled girl swallowed in desires, problems and potential. She craves nothing more than the feeling of being wanted and loved by anyone but her family. «Be advised story will contain smut, mature scenes and swearing» Story is a bit of a slow burn through the POA and GOF years.

"Jeez Caddell, do you always wear that much perfume?" Oliver asked, smirking. I turned around to glare at him. "Was it not your brilliant idea to avoid harassing each other outside of the pitch?" I shot back in the same tone. ********************************************************************************** Oliver Wood and Ivy Caddell have maintained an ongoing quidditch rivalry for the past five years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
