Following Dracaena Hoctina's eventful fifth year as a new student with extraordinary powers, both she and her best friend, Ominis Gaunt, enjoyed a relatively peaceful sixth year at Hogwarts. Now, as their seventh and final year approaches, they hope for another untroubled school year. However, Dracaena still feels no small level of guilt over her decision to turn Sebastian in to the Ministry. It's a guilt Ominis shares, and the pair have grown close following Sebastian's incarceration in Azkaban at the end of their fifth year, even spending their holidays together. Both of them still miss Sebastian terribly, and wonder if things could have been different if they had made different choices. On the Hogwarts Express, winging their way towards the castle once more, Dracaena and Ominis are interrupted in their compartment by a strange, yet wonderfully familiar figure standing in the doorway. Sebastian has returned. As the school year progresses, the Silver Trio are faced with an array of problems to navigate. Their approaching exams, the horrible amount of homework, and a blossoming love triangle between the three of them are the least of their worries, as Dracaena's magical powers begin to grow out of control.

It's been two years since Ominis graduated Hogwarts. Two years of returning to his family and being subjected to their whims once more. Though changed by his friendship to Sebastian and Damien during his school days, he has been hardened by the treatment of his brother and father. His family has arranged a marriage for him to a woman named Ariadne, but no woman chosen by his family could be anything good for him. He doesn't trust her, and if he can get away with interacting with her as little as possible he'll be happy. Ariadne is the youngest daughter of a pure blood family, raised to be an obedient and demure wife of a wealthy man. Her marriage gave her family a healthy dowry, and so she was cast to the viper den of the Gaunt family. She knew the reputation of the Gaunts, crazed and violent men that obsessed over dark magic and blood quantum. Yet Ominis seems oddly... different. He doesn't seem at all like the rest of the Gaunts. Maybe this marriage won't be the nightmare she thought it would be.
