"It's always been you." Elara Avery has spent her entire life becoming exactly what a pure-blood daughter should be: poised, intelligent, elegant, and entirely untouchable. At Hogwarts, she is determined to protect the carefully crafted image she's built for herself, no matter the cost. There is only one problem. Draco Malfoy. Once her closest friend, now the one person capable of unraveling years of carefully buried resentment. Every encounter becomes a battle of pride, sharp words, and old wounds neither of them is willing to acknowledge. But as the wizarding world slips closer to war, childhood rivalries begin to look a lot like unfinished stories. Some people leave your life. Others never really do.

Adelina Nott has always lived between two worlds. The twin sister of Theodore Nott and one of the few Ravenclaws born into an old pure-blood family, she's spent her life learning when to speak and when to stay silent. Returning to Hogwarts for her fourth year should be simple: survive classes, cheer on her friends through the Triwizard Tournament, and stay out of the endless drama surrounding Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy was never part of the plan. He's arrogant, infuriating, and happens to be her brother's closest friend. The last person Adelina expects to understand or the last person she ever wants to. But as the years pass, unlikely friendships form, loyalties are tested, and the wizarding world begins to unravel. Somewhere between stolen glances, late-night conversations, and the weight of family expectations, Adelina discovers that the line between love and hate isn't nearly as clear as she once believed.

"I've never...ever in my whole fucking life let someone in, but you have managed to infiltrate me in every sense of the word. I hate more than anything that you are my weakness, Rose, but you are and I need you to realize that and admit that I am the same to you before I lose my fucking mind." His eyes squinted with tear of frustration and desperation. Why did I have the urge to wipe them away as one slid down his cheek?

"You look gorgeous, my Princess," he whispered in her ear as their bodies moved to the music. His Princess. 'My Princess.' His Princess. She didn't know if it was the alcohol in her system, but she could've sworn she felt butterflies in her stomach. "I know," she breathed. His hands slid down to her ass, tugging her closer as if they weren't already pressed against each other. Her fingers laced in his soft, platinum hair, dancing to the music as though there was no one else in the room. ~ Do not read if you're younger than 14!

Coming back home was supposed to be easy. After two years at Durmstrang, returning to Hogwarts for fifth year should've been simple. Instead, it means walking straight back into familiar chaos, dangerous expectations and Draco Malfoy-the one thing I should know better than to fall for. But old rivalries have a way of meaning less when the world beyond Hogwarts begins to change. Voldemort is rising. Death Eaters are no longer whispers hidden behind closed doors and their shadows stretching further with every passing day. In a world ruled by bloodlines, legacy and the weight of choices that were never meant to belong to us, nothing remains untouched for long. Not loyalty. Not family. Not even the future we once imagined for ourselves. As fear spreads, darkness settles in and war inches closer. Because some stars are meant to guide you and some were always destined to become fallen stars.

Sienna Evans has spent two years perfecting the art of not caring what Draco Malfoy thinks. A system that works right up until the week her mother dies and everything she thought she knew about her own family falls apart with it. A cousin she never met. An aunt who never wanted her. And underneath all of it, a rivalry with the one boy who's spent two years trying to get under her skin, and is somehow the only one who notices when she's drowning. He's cruel in the way boys are when they've never been told to be anything else. She's guarded in the way people are when softness feels like something that gets taken from you. Between library arguments, dungeon proximity, and the slow, humiliating discovery that hating someone and needing them aren't always as far apart as they seem, something starts to grow. ✦ • ° • ✦ " What have you done to me Sienna?" "Hating you would have been so much easier."

***PREVIEW*** ~~~~ A moan escaped her, and he abruptly ended the passionate moment. He pulled away, leaning his forehead on hers, their heavy breaths mixing in the space between them. Malfoy's thumb caressed Dahlia's cheek, and her eyes fluttered open to meet his. "You aren't expendable to me," Draco hissed forcefully. "Do you understand?" Dahlia couldn't form words. She tried, but none came so instead she nodded. "Words, Dumbledore, use your words." Hissing at the use of her surname, she looked up at him and snarled, "Understood, Malfoy." He didn't seem put off by her anger. Rather, he seemed pleased with himself. He gave a nod to her, and then locked eyes with Harry for half a second. The boys seemed to have a silent, nonverbal conversation before Potter inclined his head to the Slytherin, who did the same. Then the blonde boy disappeared through the flap of the tent. ~~~~~~~~ Dahlia Dumbledore is a young girl with a confusing past.
