Elysia Blackwood arrived at Hogwarts in her third year.
Expelled from Durmstrang. Rejected by Beauxbatons & Ilvermony.
Upholding her parents' reputation was all she cared about.
But Hogwarts has a way of bringing out your worst fears. Her secrets resurfaced like fabric from a pool of darkness.
For those who love found family, Slytherin politics, slow-burn and chaotic heists.
Excerpt :
At the edge of the group, trailing just far enough- Neville.
He'd grown, of course. Taller than she last remembered.
Their eyes met.
'What do you do when you meet the cousin you were forbidden from knowing?'
'Elysia Blackwood?"
"Neville."
"I thought it might be you."
"My expulsion was quite the news. I am surprised Gran did not say more."
Neville gave an awkward laugh.
"She said ... that Durmstrang made a mess of it."
"Sounds about right."
At that moment, they were back in the gardens of Aunt Andromeda's, looking at flowers.
Follow the story to learn how Neville finds his bravery, Luna becomes the wise mother hen, while Blaise Zabini walks the thin line between denial & falling for a girl who shows Hogwarts what it is to be a True Slytherin.
