Secrets are second nature to Vivian. Raised in a tight knit community, who prided family and loyalty above all else, her life has revolved around preserving the village truths and, more importantly, keeping outsiders at bay. That is until her parent's latest disappearance, leaving only a cryptic message detailing their wishes for her to start a new life, far away from the family. A new life at Hogwarts. Haunted by the memory of the family she left behind and the secrets she still carries with her, will Vivian's new relationship with the Weasley twins, and George Weasley's increasing attempts to break down her walls, keep her anchored to Hogwarts, or will her past catch up with her again? *TRIGGER WARNING* this story will have mentions of death, blood, suicide, self harm, and other bodily injuries. I won't be putting TW before each chapter to avoid spoilers, so please do not read if any of those topics are uncomfortable for you This is an AU where ilvermorny doesn't exist just fyi :) Book plot is happening but is not the focus of the story I do not support any actions or statements by JK Rowling but all characters other than my OCs are her's #2 in GeorgeWeasleyxOC - 7/8/2024
