"You need power only when you want to do something harmful. Otherwise, love is enough to get everything done." -Charlie Chaplain
Alden Wainright didn't know she was a Witch. In fact, she didn't even know that such people existed. All she'd known for the past fifteen years of her life was the Muggle orphanage that she lived in and the fact that she could sometimes, seemingly, make strange things happen.
When the inquiry and research of the Orphanage director lead to the Ministry of Magic discovering Alden, she is immediately whisked off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin her magical training...as a fifth-year student.
Little does she know, her life is more complicated than she originally thought. Not only does Alden have a special ability to see and wield an ancient magic, her new friendships with other Hogwarts students bring their own challenges...
Especially Slytherin student Sebastian Sallow. Not only do the two of them share new and complicated feelings for each other, Sebastian's desperation to save his twin sister, and his insistence on using dark magic to do so, puts both of them in dangerous and highly immoral situations. With Alden being a Hufflepuff, known for their kindness and morality, she is forced to make a decision;
Can she stop Sebastian from going too far? Or will love be enough to save him from the darkness inside of himself?
