Briar Brimshire arrives seven years late, carrying a family name everyone recognizes and resents. Thrust into Hogwarts among students who have already lived through years of loss, loyalty, and war, she finds herself struggling to belong in a world that seems to have moved on without her. Sorted into Slytherin, her mother's house, Briar is forced to navigate cold alliances, reluctant friendships, and the pre-established dynamics of her housemates. She quickly catches the attention of the mysterious head-boy, Draco Malfoy. As grief hangs heavy in the air, Briar decides who she is beyond her past. Based on the series written by JK Rowling, owner of all names and content found in the original books. Briar Brimshire's character and storyline are original and written by me :)
