Crimson in the Serpent's Nest
52 parts Complete MatureCassidy Covington was born into power, privilege, and poison. The daughter of a ruthless pureblood traditionalist, she was raised to believe her blood made her superior-and her fate predetermined. Her father, Caleb Covington, is one of the most feared names in the wizarding world. His allies include Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. His legacy? Unquestionable.
So when Cassidy is Sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin, it isn't just a disgrace-it's a declaration of war.
To punish her rebellion, Caleb takes the newly vacant post of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, determined to crush her spirit from within the very walls meant to protect her. Every lesson becomes a weapon. Every detention, a battlefield. And the world only sees the charming, well-connected professor-not the monster that waits behind closed doors.
But Cassidy Covington is done kneeling to bloodlines.
With a lion's heart, a forbidden fire growing inside her, and the help of a quiet rebellion forming in the shadows, she will fight not only to survive-but to burn the serpent's nest to the ground.
Blood may bind you-but bravery will set you free.
