Of Serpents and Secrets (Beyond the Colors of Hogwarts I)
Hogwarts has seen countless secrets, scandals, and suspiciously dramatic teenage wizards - but nothing quite like this.
Astoria Greengrass has one sacred academic goal: survive the school year with grace, good grades, and as little social chaos as possible. Unfortunately, the universe - and the Sorting Hat, and her sister, and half of Slytherin - have other plans.
Because somewhere between quiet breakfasts, whispered castle rumors, and a certain annoyingly breathtaking blonde heir offering her brief-but-devastating smiles, Astoria finds herself tangled in something far more dangerous than dark magic:
Feelings.
Draco Malfoy never planned on caring, not after a summer full of expectations and pressure heavier than family legacy. Yet Astoria Greengrass - sharp, stubborn, and unexpectedly disarming - walks into his world like a calm storm he didn't see coming. And suddenly, every glance, every accidental touch, and every stolen heartbeat threatens to unravel the neat, controlled life he's built.
Add in meddling friends, enchanted hallways, unhinged gossip networks, and a hat that apparently ships people now, and Hogwarts becomes less a place of learning and more a battleground for blushes, whispered denials, and inevitable destiny.
In love and magic, nothing goes as planned - and sometimes the most dangerous choice of all...
is letting yourself feel.
