Friends are a complicated thing. Even more complicated when one harbours a secret. Even worse when four all do the same. For five years the Desperados have been as close as possible. Through thick and thin or hell and high water, but no matter what, they stuck together. After the summer of 2010, the boys all get ready to head back to Hogwarts for their fifth year. Alex Brightburn is trying to balance his academics, his friends and his gorgeous girlfriend Bethany Eaglemore. Damian Murdock is trying to stay under the radar and still get away with his rule breaking antics, while keeping his friends afloat. Jayce Silverstone is simply trying to cruise through school and make it as a Quidditch pro. And Andy wants to pass with flying colours and keep his friends together. Yet the coming year is not normal by any means. All four have kept a secret from each other, a secret each of which could potentially destroy the Desperados. And the birth of a new evil spells peril for Hogwarts and the Wizarding World. Whether it's by breaking the rules or following the rule book to the letter, it's down to the fateful four to save not just each other and their group, but the world itself.

Now, she wakes as Daphne Greengrass - young, privileged, and an utterly normal witch... or so it seems. The world has changed. She hasn't. And this time, she's not just playing the game. She's rewriting the whole damn rulebook. "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘦?" 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘬 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘭.

When a young woman dies suddenly in her world, she wakes up in another-reborn as Evelyn Thorne, a fiery-haired girl with emerald eyes and a sharp mind. But this isn't just any world. It's the world of Harry Potter, and she's been given a second life... with all her memories intact. Born a year before the Boy Who Lived moved next door to 4 Privet Drive, Evie knows every twist, every danger, every death the wizarding world is hurtling toward. But fate is a stubborn thing, and magic always comes at a price. With knowledge of the future and a fierce heart, Evelyn is determined to change the story before it begins, starting with the quiet, mistreated boy in the cupboard under the stairs. But meddling with destiny is never simple. Especially when you're trying to outwit fate itself.
