Cajamarca ⭍ Bill Weasley/OC
It's been one year since Josie returned from Peru, eight months since Bill began dating Fleur Delacour, and one too many days since the ancient Incan curse she received during her travels began to manifest itself. Turning to a Knockturn Alley shopkeeper for help is probably not a good idea, but Josie is too prideful to tell her best friend, Bill Weasley, why she's been avoiding him. After all, he's probably too busy being crazy in love with his new fiancée to notice that she's even been cursed in the first place. The more she turns to dark magic to break her curse, however, the worse it gets, until at last she realizes that she's been looking for answers in all the wrong places. Beware the cost of greed, for it can come in many forms. Bill Weasley/OCComplete
