Marigold Thorne never sought the weight of the extraordinary. She came to Hogwarts for books and quiet, for the promise of a fresh start. But the ancient magic that stirs within her has its own plans. It whispers in her ear, unrelenting, pulling her deeper into a world of power and peril, where the boundaries between past and present blur like ink in water. What happens when duty demands you to abandon your desires? When power chooses you, and you can't refuse? A tale of ancient magic, loyalty tested, and the sharp edge of choices no one should ever have to make. Sebastian Sallow x OC RavenclawAll Rights Reserved
