Ascella Lestrange has been put with Neville Longbottom. She has never spoken to the man out of guilt, now she has to marry him. What else could go wrong in her life? NOTES: all characters belong to jkr. Only the plot line if this story and my character are my own!! On another note, because there's some confusion, this is a TOXIC relationship. It is not intended to be cute and sweet all the time, there are going to be bumps in the road. More details in the comments of chapters 16,17.
