Kallista Zenia Emrys is born in the world of high society pure bloods. Being one of the last remaining descendants of Merlin- the Greatest Wizard of all time- she finds herself being weighed down by the extremely high expectations that her name gives. Starting Hogwarts, Kally quickly learns the hate that comes with being a Slytherin. She finds comfort in her Slytherin friends who face similar responsibilities. A handsome blonde being one of those.

Samantha Baker changes schools for year five and starts Hogwarts. She befriends Neville Longbottom on the train and seems to fit in much better than at her old school. But then Draco Malfoy turns her world upside down. But is there more behind his bully facade? (Disclaimer: I don't really stand behind the whole falling in love with your bully trope anymore, but I know some people enjoy this story, so that's why it's still up.)

Sometimes when things get wet in the rain they start to crumble and fall apart, under the pressure. That's exactly what happened to the breaking mask of Draco Malfoy when his past threatened to drown him. To push him under the waters of his darkness and not let him rise up to breathe. Maybe she could help him. Maybe she could keep him afloat. Maybe he was not completely lost just yet. Or maybe, life had other plans that could plunge both of them into deeper, darker waters.
