Read Between the Runes: Draco Malfoy + OC

**Love takes violent things, angry things, and makes them kind.**

Lara Berg spent part of her life raised in Iceland where different types of magic are learned and practiced. Since an early age, her parents have taught her to understand the kind of magic practiced in magic that can be created by runes, staves, and sigils - basically ancient inscriptions that can induce almost anything: killing an enemy's cattle (no longer very useful), invoking spirits, protection against drowning and the inducement of love and fear.

When she's offered a spot in both Hogwarts and the far North's equivalent Ygdrassil, much to her parent's dismay, she chooses Hogwarts. Things are pretty normal for the first four years. She meets friends for life in Gryffindor House, but much to their dismay, she attracts attention from someone in Slytherin, Gryffindor's main rival. Not only that, but it's Draco Malfoy, someone who's caused her and her friends' endless annoyance since they started at Hogwarts.

When fifth-year comes around, the Second Wizarding War has just begun. Combining the runic magic of the Norse with the skills she's learned at Hogwarts, she finds herself in a unique position to help her friends defy the second coming of You-Know-Who.
