Nanala Malfoy was the younger sister of Lucius Malfoy, and best friend of Remus Lupin. Nanala was the only girl that was close to the self proclaimed "Marauders," enough to know about Remus's 'fury little problem.' Nanala had a thing for James Potter, but she knew he was all about his "Lily-Flower," better known as Lily Evans.
When seventh year had come about, James had decided to pretend that he didn't have a thing for Lily anymore and that he had given up, which was far from the truth. Much to the detestment of Remus, James decided Nanala was the perfect girl for him to focus on to get Lily's attention. James and Nanala's relationship, no matter how fake, grew further than they intended, and more than one person was against it.
One night, things took a turn for the worse, and Nanala's life was destined to change. When she went to inform James, things went completely wrong, and sadly, she was caught off guard and hit with a spell. Her entire world went black, and when she woke up, she was in a whole different place. The year was no longer 1972, it was now 2011. She was no longer in Hogwarts, but in America; New York to be specific. She wasn't even in her own universe, which confused the hell out of her. She was scared and things weren't going as she had planned at all...
"He was the light she was raised to destroy. She was the shadow he couldn't stop chasing."
Velora Amaris Malfoy was born into power, privilege, and silence. The younger sister of Lucius Malfoy, she's expected to be perfect-poised, cruel, untouchable. At Hogwarts, she becomes a Slytherin prodigy: brilliant, feared, and untouchably cold. To everyone else, she's just another blood-purist elite destined to rise through the ranks of the Dark Lord's army.
But James Potter sees something else-a spark beneath the ice.
What begins as rivalry spirals into obsession: shared detentions, explosive arguments, fleeting glances that linger too long. As war brews and alliances fracture, Velora is pulled deeper into a life she never chose. Branded with the Dark Mark before her seventh year, she becomes a weapon. A spy. A killer.
No one can know what she and James have. Not their friends. Not their enemies. Especially not Voldemort.
But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when Velora begins to hesitate-when she starts to remember what it means to feel-she becomes a liability.
Now both sides want her dead.
This is not a love story. It's a story of fire and ruin, of blood and betrayal-of two enemies who should have destroyed each other, and the ashes they leave behind.
