Cedric Diggory is the perfect boyfriend. Kind, intelligent, charming, and undeniably handsome. Lyra Lovegood knows just how lucky she is to have him. So why can't she stop wondering about Draco Malfoy? Arrogant, guarded, and impossible to understand, Draco is the last person she should be paying attention to. Everyone sees the boy he's chosen to be, but Lyra can't shake the feeling there's something hidden beneath the sharp remarks and carefully built walls. As sixth year unfolds, old friendships are tested, unexpected connections are formed, and the line between right and wrong becomes harder to see. Because sometimes the people we're taught to fear are the ones carrying the heaviest burdens, and sometimes the path you never intended to take is exactly where light finds us.

This story starts during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
