"Perhaps it would have been kinder never to know love at all than to know it just long enough to lose it." Ophelia Blackthorne has spent years learning how to keep herself hidden. A Slytherin from a family whose name carries more secrets than affection, she knows better than most that trust is rarely given without a price. She has routes through Hogwarts that do not appear on maps, obligations she does not speak of, and a talent for becoming something no one is supposed to see. Draco Malfoy, unfortunately, has been given two very good reasons to see her. The first is a wager. The second is an order from his father. All he has to do is earn Ophelia's trust before January. Get close enough to learn what the Blackthornes are hiding, report what he finds, collect his winnings, and walk away. Ophelia, however, is not nearly as oblivious as he would like. So when Draco begins constructing something that resembles trust, she decides to construct one of her own. He thinks she is beginning to believe him. She thinks he is beginning to reveal himself. Neither considers what might happen if two people pretending to trust one another accidentally stop pretending. After all, a lie is perfectly harmless so long as everyone remembers which part was invented. Isn't it?

Juliette Blackwell knows exactly what is expected of her. Draco Malfoy does too. Their families have been enemies for years, bound together by old money, broken alliances, public smiles and private resentment. As their final year at Hogwarts begins, the castle becomes a battlefield once again. Titles are up for grabs, alliances begin to shift and neither of them is willing to lose. But someone else is watching. For years, an anonymous voice has haunted Hogwarts, exposing secrets that were never meant to come to light. But beneath the rivalry lies something far more dangerous: a truth buried within their families' past. And only two enemies can uncover it. - Enemies to lovers - Slow burn - Forced proximity - Childhood friends - High society - Mystery - Spice Do NOT copy, repost, or translate my work without my permission.
