Draco Malfoy never believed in second chances-not for men like him. But when a threat resurfaces, forcing him to flee New York with his four-year-old twins, he returns to the one place he swore he'd never call home again: Malfoy Manor. England is colder, quieter... until it isn't. Old wards begin to crack. An intruder slips past centuries of magic. And someone, somewhere, wants blood. Caught between haunting memories and mounting danger, Draco finds himself entangled with the last person he ever expected-Hermione Granger. Brilliant, infuriating, and fiercely protective of his children, she becomes an anchor in the chaos. But trust doesn't come easily, and neither does peace. As war-era secrets rise from the ashes and the line between ally and enemy blurs, Draco must confront the ghosts of his past-and the feelings he's tried to bury-before history repeats itself. Because this time, it's not his life on the line. It's theirs.

"Wha-How-how did you do that?" Malfoy questioned furiously. I gave him a cocky smirk. "Just a few simple jinxes. Guess I'm not that much of a Mudblood after all, hm?" His brow furrowed. "No-you're still a Mudblood. Do you not know what Mudblood means?" Her Muggle brothers never thought anything odd of Lainey Fitzroy until finding out that she's a witch at age eleven. Determined to learn and succeed, Lainey goes to Hogwarts, where she meets an array of life changing people, like the famous Harry Potter, the notorious Draco Malfoy, and the ever-faithful Ginny Weasley. Lainey has a few secrets, though, some she doesn't even know about, along with a plethora of decisions to make as her years pass at Hogwarts. Cover made by my lovely sister.
