"For all of the light that I shut out,
For all of the innocent things that I've doubt,
For all of the bruises that I've caused and the tears,
For all of the things that I've done all these years,
Yeah, for all of the sparks that I've stomped out,
For all of the perfect things that I doubt..."

#1 [BOOK ONE]
She's got a fiery temper and the typical Slytherin bad attitude, a perfect match for her absolute best friend and partner in crime - Draco Malfoy.
~
Seren Selwyn knows just what it means to have a future laid out for her and an intimidating parent breathing down her neck. She knows what it's like to exist in a world that would rather you didn't, in a world that believes you are the villain.
So maybe it's the fact that he's always loved her, that makes her feel like she can take on that same world with flames and steel. Maybe it's the fact that they live in the darkness together that makes it's all vanquishable.
Because without him, would she even be the same?
Without him - would her demons be victorious?
She'll never know, because Draco Malfoy vows to be by her side forever.
