Katherine Hawthorne hoped for a normal term at Hogwarts after the borderline romantic summer she spent with her favorite Slytherin, but she felt like she was destined to repeat history when the Keepers told her to protect the repository at all costs. With Professor Fig dead, it's up to her and her alone to figure out a new path to repairing the damage Ranrok caused. She could turn to her friends in her time of need - Natsai Onai, Poppy Sweeting, Sebastian Sallow, and Ominis Gaunt - but someone powerful knows about the repository's delicate status and longs for the magic it holds. The last thing Katherine wants to do is hurt her friends by involving them in undertakings they aren't prepared for, but if she doesn't, she risks losing everything. **Characters aged up to majority**
