John Smith, an emotionally constipated wanderer, never intended to be a father, but fate had other plans. First came Eric, Missy's little boy, a creature of brittle bones and furious eyes, then Victor and Daniel, a pair of hyperactive twins, casualties of a life lived carelessly.
Fourteen years later, this makeshift arrangement surprisingly still stands. John is heedless, Victor doesn't know who he is anymore, Danny hides his fury behind a childish smile. And Eric, now an eighteen-year-old with mischief in his veins, gives everyone around him the hardest time he possibly can. Until Rose Tyler, the new girl in school, joins the theatre club and manages to somehow temper his storm.
But when Donna's name is dragged through the dirt, Eric is torn between his pride and the deep connection he once had with the redhead.
Between the school play, a couple of unearthed secrets and late-night walks through Wothordoc, a forgotten corner in the South East of England, the last year of Secondary School proves to be quite the experience for the three brothers and their wild little group of friends...

Emerson Wilmore was an exemplary Ravenclaw student, known for her unwavering dedication to academics and an unyielding moral compass. However, things took a twisted and deviated turn in her life after her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory, was murdered by Lord Voldemort during the Triwizard Tournament.
Now, in her Fifth-Year at Hogwarts, she is trying to navigate through her overwhelming and mind-numbing grief. Unexpectedly for Emerson, she finds herself caught in an unwanted storm of chaos that is brought by Mattheo Riddle, the Slytherin son of the man who destroyed her entire world. With his rebellious yet enigmatic, bad-boy attitude, Mattheo is everything that Emerson despises.
For Mattheo however, he cannot help but be drawn to the perfect and unblemished Ravenclaw. Despite her palpable disdain for Mattheo, an unusual interest flickers. As he tries to unravel the mystery of the girl in any shape or form he can attempt, their hostile exchanges finally burn into a magnetic connection. Amid their blinding animosity towards each other, the two slowly start to discover that the line between love and hate is precariously thin, a line that they both find terrifying to cross.
