(BOOK 1) Althea Layla Nott stands apart from her family with her gentle heart, unwavering belief in equality, and fierce loyalty to her friends. Regulus Arcturus Black, burdened with the weight of being the Black heir, once shared an unbreakable bond with Althea. Now, they've become strangers, separated by walls Regulus has built around himself. Althea longs to restore their friendship, but the looming war forces them onto opposing sides, compelling them to make choices that will alter their lives forever. In a world where loyalty is tested and alliances shift, Althea and Regulus must navigate their way through treacherous waters, their decisions echoing the promise of either reconciliation or further division. "I look at his dark gaze, aching to lean closer and let our souls touch but it isn't that easy. This one kiss would change everything. We were friends once, then we were nothing, and, now here we stand, on the verge of risking it all. He gives me no time to register his action as he leans closer. I close my eyes and wait to feel his lips against mine but it never happens, instead, he bends his head slightly and plants his lips on my collarbone. I gasp and throw my head back as his lips linger there, the featherlike kiss causes a warm and tingly feeling in my stomach. My mind goes blank, all those thoughts screaming at me to run a moment ago vanished and all I could think about was his soft lips. His other hands join in on my waist and tug me closer, our chest touching as another gasp leaves my mouth. He pulls back and almost immediately I ache for the way his warm lips felt against my skin. Without missing another beat he kisses me again, a little higher this time, and continues planting kisses along my neck, then on my jaw, and planting a last kiss on my lips, barely touching them."

I wasn't supposed to be in the story. Not the kind with monsters, gates, or government labs. "This little fairy freak," he said, gesturing toward me like I was something stuck to his shoe. "Always floating around in her weird outfits, acting all sweet and innocent-like she doesn't watch people making out from bathroom cracks like a total psycho." I froze. The air left my lungs. "Steve," Nancy whispered sharply beside him, "it was the girl's bathroom." But he wasn't listening. "She's always staring," he continued. "Like we're all in some sad little movie she made up in her head. Always acting like she's not dying for attention." I was just the girl with too-soft sweaters and panic attacks. The one who watched people fall in love from the sidelines. The one who crushed silently on Steve Harrington while he kissed other girls in haunted high school bathrooms. Then Will Byers went missing. And suddenly I was helping Nancy reload a shotgun. Hiding from the Demogorgon on rooftops. Whispering to Dustin like I was his big sister. Running. Fighting. Surviving. And somewhere in between the broken cameras, the Halloween parties, the Upside Down... Steve started looking at me like I was in the story too.

Her eyes gleamed gold, as if they held a secret no one could guess. His brown irises seemed to say the same-this wasn't over yet. Something waited in the darkness that surrounded them. Something that wouldn't let them rest. But they had no doubts-as long as they were together, they would face even what lay hidden in the deepest shadows.

Ayla Avery, a Ravenclaw witch from a pureblood family, ambitious, intelligent, and with ideals different from those of the highly conservative family by which she is not looked upon favorably, including being the first Avery not to be a Slytherin. Ayla runs into Fred Weasley, a Gryffindor with a large family, the opposite of Ayla's, who describes them as traitors to their own blood. The two are literally polar opposites, but there is one thing the two share: when their gaze meets, an unconditional smile is created on both of their faces. The two will have to fight to show their smiles among the shadows.

Percy Weasley has always been the perfect son. The perfect prefect. The perfect disappointment. While his younger brother and his friends were saving the wizarding world, Percy was polishing his badge and following every rule. So he writes a list-every forbidden thing he's ever wanted but been too afraid to try. No one was ever meant to see it. Enter Isadora Montague. She's pure temptation wrapped in Slytherin green--sharp-tongued, dangerously beautiful, and completely wrong for someone like him. She doesn't just discover his list; she dares him to live it. One stolen kiss leads to midnight adventures. Secret meetings turn into desperate touches in empty classrooms. She's everything his rational mind warns against, but she's also the only person who sees the fire burning beneath his perfectly pressed robes. Falling for Isadora Montague is dangerous in more ways than one. She's hiding something, and when the truth finally surfaces, Percy must choose: the safe life he planned out, or the girl who could destroy everything he's worked for. - · - told from percy's pov chamber of secrets to deathly hallows; multi-year the slowest of burns
