Sunday Louise Kincaid never belonged at Hogwarts. Not really. The only daughter of a Kentucky folk-witch and an American soldier stationed in England, Sunday grew up with holler charms, Bible hymns turned to spells, and the drawl of mountain songs in her bones. When her letter arrived on her eleventh birthday, she stepped into a castle of stone and shadows that was never built for a girl like her-an Appalachian witch with dirt under her fingernails and coal in her pocket. For six years she kept her head down. A Hufflepuff with sharp eyes and sharper instincts, Sunday avoided trouble, avoided gossip, avoided Draco Malfoy most of all. Not because she hated him-no, that would have been easy-but because she had always seen something behind his polished sneer. Something dangerous. Something broken. Something she wasn't supposed to touch. Now it's their seventh year. Voldemort has risen. The Carrows rule the school. The halls echo with screams and silence. And Sunday can't avoid Draco Malfoy anymore. He's not the boy she remembers. He's thinner. Paler. His silver eyes hollow, his hands shaking as if carrying a weight too heavy for seventeen. He's marked now-Death Eater-and everyone knows which side he stands on. But when Sunday looks at him, really looks, she sees the truth: he's unraveling. What begins as stolen glances in the library grows into whispered words in the dark. What begins as silence grows into something that feels like salvation. But salvation is dangerous. Forbidden. Impossible. As war bleeds into the walls of Hogwarts, the two of them are pulled into a secret tether of desperation and want. Every step closer is a risk. Every kiss is betrayal. When the final battle comes, Sunday will stand and fight. And Draco will face the question that has haunted him all year: When the smoke clears, will he walk back to the parents who beckon him- or toward the girl who taught him there's more than ashes waiting at the end of the world?

Finn Lynch lives a quiet, tranquil life in a rural village in the mountains. Her life may lack spontaneity and excitement, but at least it's peaceful. And if it's a little lonely too, then she can't complain too much - she's still happy, after all. When her uncle asks her to house a defector from the magical war he's involved in, Finn agrees reluctantly despite her concerns that the presence of Regulus Black in her home will disrupt the careful peace she's been cultivating for years. Nothing could prepare her for what an insufferable prick he is. [marauders era] [regulus black x muggle oc] [enemies to lovers] ** updates on wednesdays **

She didn't know that she shared blood with one of the darkest wizarding families the magical world had known, and she most certainly didn't know what she was getting into when she decided to talk to the handsome red-haired prefect in her house when she got to Hogwarts. 2. Bill Weasley is just trying to get out of Hogwarts. He has a set group of friends, his little siblings to look out for, and a great girlfriend, but it's not enough. What Bill wants is adventure, and the last place he expects to find it is with the strange new girl in Gryffindor with the tumultuous home life and a tendency to get around the rules with endless charm and more than a bit of luck. 3. To him, Eleanora is just the funny kid who stays at his parents' house for the summers and to her, Bill is just her best friends' kind older brother, but as they grow older, it becomes more apparent that they are meant to have bigger roles in each other's lives than just this. author note: I understand concerns about the age gap and I promise absolutely nothing even remotely romantic happens between them until they are both above legal age. If you want to skip to when they do start to become romantically involved, check out the second book in the series; "Love, Bill." enjoy!
