How will she navigate her loyalties, her life in a strange new land, and her blossoming feelings for a man she is supposed to hate? ------------ After watching "The King" on Netflix and seeing the on-screen chemistry between Timothee Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp I was INSPIRED. There was such an interesting story in the few minutes of screen time they shared, that I envisioned a whole story starting after the movie ended, and I couldn't rest until I wrote it down. I tried to add historical facts and timeline as much as possible, but please remember this is a work of historical fiction so there are times where I change information to fit my story line.

Dumbledore is dead, the golden trio are planning on hunting horcruxes, and Aquila Callisto Black is sent to her muggle uncle, Charlie Swan, to hide and be as far away from her deranged relatives as possible. Her safety is paramount yet it is jeopardized by the presence of a bronze haired vampire and a very nosy and jealous cousin.

Her task in place, she becomes friends with the competition, enemies with her family and in love with someone other than the King. When things get too heated, will she be able to survive a court where everyone is out to make a profit, no matter the cost? A Twist.
