The Cursed Ones

Noir Mortisia is a seventh year Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Having escaped a dark and religious past in America, this is her third year in England - and in the Wizarding World overall.

Noir and her friends, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, want another year of wild fun and partying, but instead what they get is some unexpected news.

Noir's near perfect world is brought crashing down around her by one single thing: the arrival of Narcissa Malfoy.

Draco's mother has taken a job at Hogwarts as the new potions master and Head of Slytherin House, trying to escape a past of her own. But some pasts aren't so easily escaped.

After overhearing a nasty comment about their new professor, Noir and Draco decide to teach an unruly Gryffindor boy a lesson. But that is all it takes to set the dominos falling, and what starts as a feud between three students becomes a deadly fight for their lives as far darker forces come into play and everyone begins to turn on one another.

Noir and Narcissa learn how shallowly inner demons are buried, and even worse, how easily they can be excavated. Dark things lurk within everyone, and this year, they will all be unleashed.

We cannot outrun the monsters that reside within us.

We cannot unwittingly carry the past without bringing it back to life.

Even worse, Noir and Narcissa can't resist the forbidden romance that brings them together and threatens to ruin them both.

They cannot possibly survive this.

(this is in an A/U in which Voldemort dies in the 1st war, Lucius is in Azkaban, Umbridge is a bitch, etc. Set in current times)
