GUILTY ~ a Draco Malfoy story
Born a half-blood, she grew up in the shadows of two worlds. Her Muggle-born mother abandoned the family when the strangeness of magic became too much, leaving her to care for her ailing father-once a dark wizard whose past sins still linger. While others her age studied openly at Hogwarts, she taught herself magic in secret, hiding her power and her lineage. But the ghosts of her father's alliances eventually found her, dragging her into a world she had tried to avoid. As Harry Potter's war with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named raged, she was forced to question her silence, her survival, and her place in a future she could no longer outrun. Enrolling at Hogwarts in her fifth year, she is thrust into friendships and rivalries that test her loyalties-and into a love that began as anger, sharpened with lust, and deepened with every stolen glance. Haunted by the love she left behind and torn by the one she's falling into, she must navigate the dangerous truth of who she is and decide whether she will shape her fate... or let it consume her.

The Best Kind of Madness
Sebastian Sallow and Gracelyn Marwood have always been partners in crime, best friends, and the source of each other's greatest mischief. But as they enter their final year at Hogwarts, something shifts. Teasing glances linger too long, friendly duels grow heated, and unspoken words threaten to break the delicate balance they've built. Sebastian is usually confident and a flirt, yet utterly infuriating when it comes to romance. Gracelyn is self-confident, radiant, and yet only one who can make him falter in his steps. When jealousy sparks, secret feelings unravel, and choices lead them down unexpected paths, they're forced to confront the undeniable-this has never been just friendship. From the tension-filled halls of Hogwarts to stolen moments in the Undercroft, from whispered promises by the lake to the life waiting beyond the castle walls, their love is a slow-burning, all-consuming fire. But Sebastian's past haunts him, and his greatest fear isn't the darkness he once embraced-it's his own mind telling him he doesn't deserve her. Will he finally let himself have the future he never thought possible? Or will his fear of falling cost him the one person who's always been willing to catch him? Friends to something more. The best kind of madness. *BONUS AU CHAPTERS AT THE END*Complete
