"Born to Die" is a powerful reminder to embrace life's impermanence. Live authentically and find meaning in every moment. Since we all are born to die, it is how we live in the meantime. *** «So no matter how dark it gets, opposites belong together: if there is darkness, there will always be light.»

Lysandra Blackthorn is everything her family expects her to be - pure-blooded, poised, and patient. The only thing she hasn't given them yet is the Dark Mark, and time is running out. Her twin brother Lazarus already bears it. So does every person she's ever known. The Blackthorn name doesn't produce hesitation - it produces soldiers. Then Lazarus nearly dies on a Death Eater mission, and the person who pulls him out isn't family. It's Mattheo Riddle. Voldemort's son. Her brother's closest friend. The most dangerous boy in Hogwarts and the one person Lysandra has successfully avoided making an enemy of - until she tries to thank him, and he makes it very clear he'd rather she didn't. What follows is a war conducted entirely in cold looks and sharp words across corridors, classrooms, and every shared space Theodore Nott gleefully engineers between them. Mattheo is cruel the way only someone hiding something can be. Lysandra is patient the way only someone raised among wolves learns to be. But sixth year bleeds into seventh, the real war bleeds into the walls of Hogwarts itself, and somewhere between the debt she never asked to carry and the boy who keeps pretending she doesn't matter - something shifts. The problem isn't falling for him. The problem is that loving Mattheo Riddle and becoming her family's obedient soldier are two things that cannot exist in the same person at the same time. And she's running out of room to be both.

In a world shaped by war and rising darkness, young witches and wizards are bound together by love, loyalty, and betrayal. As fear and ambition grow, relationships fracture, forcing each of them to make choices that test their morals and reshape who they are. Alliances shift, trust breaks, and power leaves lasting scars. By the end, some find redemption, others are lost to regret or ambition, and a few simply survive. Love does not save everyone-but it defines every choice. What remains is a world rebuilt from loss, where nothing is forgotten and every decision has a cost.

When a previously homeless Muggle-Born girl unexpectedly crosses paths with a brooding pureblood and their lives come completely entangled.

|+18| And then I said; "What was the magic word?" He rolled his eyes. "Fuck off." I raised my eyebrows, crossing my arms. I was definitely going to take advantage of this. "I'm going to kill you-" He exhaled sharply through his nose, forcing himself to shut up. If he pushed me any further, things wouldn't end well for him. He stayed quiet for a moment, biting his cheek, looking around to make sure no one would hear, then; "...Please?" he forced out. My smile widened. I leaned down and slipped back under his arm. He looked at me with pure hatred. "When I recover, I am definitely killing you, Hufflepuff girl." My jaw tightened, but I forced a smug smile. After all these years around his close friends, he still didn't know who I was. He'd never tried. "Don't worry, you won't even remember me when we meet again." But fate would deceive us, and in the worst way possible....

Avery Hale has spent her entire life being watched, judged, and defined before she ever had the chance to define herself. At Hogwarts, she wears it well-popularity, power, and a reputation that keeps people exactly where she wants them. Then he arrives. Mattheo Riddle is everything she should stay away from. A name that carries history. A presence that demands attention. And a boy who looks at her like he's trying to figure her out piece by piece. But the closer they get, the more the lines begin to blur. Between truth and lies. Between loyalty and betrayal. Between who they are... and who they're expected to be. Because in a world built on legacy and secrets, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. And some people don't just fall for each other. They unravel.
