Lily Potter arrives at Hogwarts expecting to follow in her brother's footsteps-but everything changes when she's sorted into Slytherin. As her relationship with Harry begins to crack, she finds herself constantly clashing with the infuriating Draco Malfoy. What starts as pure hatred slowly turns into something far more complicated. Torn between who she is and who she's expected to be, Lily begins to question everything. And somewhere in the shadows, a dark presence is rising-one no one dares to name.

Eight years after the death of Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, Kingsley Shacklebolt is dead and John Dawlish has become Minister of Magic. All was well until the Daily Prophet begins warning of another dark uprising, Wiggenweld disappears from circulation, and fear becomes the Ministry's most powerful weapon. Their answer is Magical Matches-a marriage program designed to pair magically compatible witches and wizards in the hopes of creating a stronger magical population. When Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are paired together, they're forced to confront old wounds, buried desires, and feelings neither of them imagined would resurface. But Draco has been secretly, dangerously obsessed with Granger since they were children. And now that he's been handed the one thing he never allowed himself to want, how will he keep years of carefully concealed obsession from consuming them both?

"You fucking hate him." she snarled to her reflection sternly, "You hate him. You hate him. You hate him." She hated that the more she said it aloud, the more wrong it felt on her lips. _ Deep in the history of the Wizarding World, buried for centuries, there is the story of an ancient connection said to tie the souls, bodies and minds of two people. Nothing like the split of a soul into parts, more of two souls fashioned from the same piece of root magic, like calling to like. One in the same, two sides of the same coin. A fold. Soulties they were called, and those that were bound were known as the Soultied. But they were meant to be only legend, haven't been seen in hundreds of years. So what is to happen when the prophecy of the Chosen Ones is set in motion and two people, born on opposite sides of a war, fated to be enemies discover they are in fact real, and even worse, they are bound together for eternity, mind and body.
