Briar watched him with curiosity as he shuffled closer. He stumbled when he neared her but managed to steady himself before he fell. He slightly blushed and stuck out his hand with the dandelion in it. He murmured, "For you." She felt something odd happen in her chest. It felt like fluttering, she thought, but she tried to push these feelings away. She didn't want to acknowledge them. She didn't want them to be real. // Briar was just trying to survive her schooling at Hogwarts with the constant trouble her fellow students seemed to start, but the Ministry of Magic was determined to help each student find their soulmate through a series of letters and hints over their years at Hogwarts. Only problem? Briar didn't believe in love.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. . . Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. . . And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not. . . And either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives. . . The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. . ." Told from Neville Longbottom's perspective, we enter the seventh and final year at Hogwarts amid a looming war. Harry Potter has disappeared. In the wake of Professor Dumbledore's death, Severus Snape has taken it upon himself to run the castle. And evil takes a new form in Amycus and Alecto Carrow as they fill in positions as self-proclaimed professors. With things looking so bleak, Neville must stifle his fear and lead what remains of the student population within the castle, and protect those who may be helpless. However, he is not alone; by his side are the familiar faces of Seamus Finnigan, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and more of Dumbledore's Army. CHOSEN BOY shines a light on the happenings in which Hogwarts endured during Harry's time away while hunting for horcruxes, and goes to show that even the most unlikely heroes can be found in the worst of times.

Book 2 Kefira Walsh was always known for her daring attitude and bold nature, earning her the rightful place among the Gryffindor House. Neville Longbottom didn't believe that he had what it took to be in the house of the brave, but Kefira always believed otherwise. She believed that Neville was braver than anyone, the boy just needed to find his "inner roar." Over their first four years of Hogwarts, Neville begins to demonstrate acts of bravery that include standing up to his friends and the people he feared the most. But those were just minor feats to the challenges that were to come his way. Kefira taught him well and did her best to protect him, however, it's now his turn to do the same for her. Especially with new threats presenting themselves around every corner. Neville has to tap into his "inner courage" more than ever with the dark times ahead.

Long before she was sorted into the Gryffindor house, Kefira Walsh was known as the "little lion" in her family. The youngest of the four Walsh girls, Kefira wasn't supposed to survive long after birth, but as she celebrates her eleventh birthday, the girl has already proven that she is a warrior. With her fearless attitude and a wild mane to match, Kefira prepares to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the only witch of her family. Aboard the Hogwarts Express, she meets a boy by the name of Neville Longbottom. Neville initially comes across as a nervous boy, who stutters and stammers when he talks and won't look a person in the eye. But Kefira takes a liking to him instantly as she can see the lion in the boy's heart waiting to be woken. All he has to do is learn to be brave.
