Serena Malfoy has always lived in the shadow of her family's name-a name etched into the darkest corners of the wizarding world. As the twin sister of Draco Malfoy, her life has been a relentless balancing act, teetering between expectation and rebellion. But when the walls of Hogwarts begin to close in, and war looms on the horizon, Serena finds herself drawn to someone who embodies everything her family despises: Fred Weasley. Fred is light where she is shadow, laughter where she is silence. And yet, the fiery Gryffindor and the sarcastic Malfoy can't seem to stay away from each other. Their sharp exchanges ignite into something far more dangerous-a forbidden love that threatens to unravel everything Serena has ever known. With the return of the Dark Lord, loyalties are tested, secrets unravel, and the lines between right and wrong blur. As Serena walks a tightrope between family duty and her own heart, she must ask herself: How far will she go to protect the boy who makes her feel alive? And what will it cost her when the truth comes to light? Enemies to lovers. Forbidden romance. Slow Burn. And a love that defies the darkest times.
