However when handsome yet notorious bad boy Draco Malfoy comes into the picture, Juliet can't help but fall for him. With the guilt of her secret relationship and the secret that she's keeping from Draco and the rest of Slytherin - her membership in Dumbledore's Army, - Juliet's dancing on thin ice, and with the smallest crack, her world could come tumbling down.
