In the shadowed halls of 1970s Hogwarts, Prudence Alaire, a French witch transferred from Beauxbatons, hides a dangerous gift: she can hear thoughts. Sarcastic yet reserved, brilliant at Charms, and haunted by isolation, she crosses paths with Remus Lupin, whose quiet empathy conceals a curse of his own. As the Marauders' mischief collides with the rising darkness of Voldemort's first war, Prudence and Remus discover that silence can speak louder than magic. A slow‑burn romance set against secrets, loyalty, and the cost of being different.
