Everyone in the wizarding world knows of the Blakesley reputation. Word goes around that they are a vile family, supportive of You-Know-Who even more so than the Malfoys. People fear them, but the Ministry never found enough proof to store them away in Azkaban.
Astrid, however, is completely different from the rest of her family. She's a white rose in a bed of black vines. She only desires to please her parents - to make them proud. But with that comes great dilemmas.
Astrid's father and mother require her to spy on the Great Harry Potter, who defeated the Dark Lord. During the school year, there will be a plot for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to rise again, and she is ordered to help in any way she can - whether it's becoming friends with the enemy, or manipulating professors to gain knowledge on the sorcerer's stone. Either way, Astrid's valiant loyalty will be put to the test - on both sides of the hour glass.
Will the white rose stay pure? Or will it bleed red in the black vines as each horrifying decision is made?

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, only Astrid, her plot line, and the Blakesley family, along with additional storyline that takes place.
Scared of losing her awaited relationship with Harry Potter, Arabella Nickoletti struggles in creating a place for Draco Malfoy in her life. But little does she know of the dark path that lies ahead of him - and what it has in store for her. With a brimming war between dark and light, half-blood Arabella already feels the pressure of everything that's at stake - but it's nothing compared to what she will lose as her life intertwines with Draco's and his dark path becomes hers.

Fast Forward:
As I sat starving in that cold, dark room, my mind replayed the night that I realized I was nothing but a fool.
..."Draco where are we?" I asked slowly, getting the chilling sense that he knew exactly where we were. He kept his eyes down, ignoring my question.
"Draco!" I said his name again. "What's going on?" I asked, becoming increasingly uncomfortable. I felt a deep pit growing in my stomach.
He spoke without looking at me. "I need you to listen," he said flatly.
