When Paisley Higgs is forced move from America to England the summer before her sixth year, she leaves behind five years of bad grades, embarrassing moments, and her best (and only) friend, Matt. But what will she find in the new small English town she calls home? How will she learn to navigate the ins and outs of socialization without her best friend there to save her? And what will she do when two local boys with a knack for trouble cross her path?

With the exception of Mirabella Plunkett in the 1800s, the idea of merfolk and wizarding kind mingling together was unheard of, and otherwise, considered to be taboo. Born to a mermaid and wizard, Nixie Dover is believed to be the first of her kind, half-landish, half-seavish. The morning of her birth, things go awry when her mother is suddenly taken away and forced into exile by seavish matriarchy, leaving her to be raised by her father alone on land. For the next eleven years, Nixie is raised as a witch, however, life is far from simple. For as long as she can remember, the waters outside of her home call to her. Her father seems drawn to the waves as well, staring at them every morning as if he is waiting for someone. However, the answers start to unravel when her mother reappears and reveals herself to be a mermaid. Suddenly, the stares and whispers that Nixie has heard throughout her childhood make sense. She is a half-breed, stuck between two worlds where she feels like an outsider. To add to the chaos, Nixie receives her acceptance letter to none other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Determined to blend in and hopefully make some friends, Nixie attempts to hide her lineage, but she can only hide who she really is for so long. Especially when a boy by the name of Sirius Black seems so utterly determined to be part of her world. Initially, Nixie believes him to be nothing but trouble, but as time progresses, he proves to be much more than a troublemaker. Together, they must face the hardships of growing up, fighting for what they believe in, and hopefully, surviving a war. [Book 1 of Nixie Dover] [Companion book to Tightly Knit] [Cover by cendriia]

But Year Six will come with some interesting twists - new people at Hogwarts, and old ones conspicuously absent... a new Defense Against The Dark Arts professor who may prove to be the most mysterious yet... Will this be the best year ever? Only time will tell.

Sirius snaps, barking out irritably, "Because shes a creature that turns men into blithering fools." Her voice is even when she asks, "Speaking from personal experience, Black?" ********************************************************* Gwenyth Whitlock knew what being a Veela was like at Hogwarts, but now that she looked like one she was wholly unprepared.
