The wind howled through the bare branches, a chilling reminder of winter's harsh grip on the land. Snowflakes danced in the moonlight, casting an eerie glow over Malfoy Manor. Inside, the warmth of the hearths did little to comfort Narcissa Malfoy as she readied herself for bed. The manor, usually a fortress of calm and control, seemed unusually restless tonight.
A sharp, unexpected knock echoed through the grand hallways, startling Narcissa. It was late, far too late for visitors. She hesitated, her heart pounding as she approached the front door. The knock came again, more insistent this time. She reached for her wand, clutching it tightly as she opened the heavy door.
The icy wind whipped around her, but no one was in sight. Narcissa frowned, scanning the empty grounds. Just as she was about to close the door, a faint whimper caught her attention. She looked down and gasped. At her feet was a small basket, swaddled in heavy furs. Inside, a baby girl with striking white hair and vivid purple eyes peered up at her, innocent and curious.

This story will be updated weekly (if my schedule allows it). I hope you all like it!
P.S. Haven't decided who will be her love interest yet, but we'll see how the story will eventually go. As of the moment, it could be Cedric Diggory, Tom Riddle (his ghost; still debating this), or maybe I'll make up a character in the future.
❝ Who do I have to speak to about if they can redo the prophecy? ❞
"You surprise me, Draco Malfoy."
"Do I?"
Voldemort did not know there was more to the prophecy of the child that would defeat him. There was a second one, strategically kept secret. It spoke of a girl, a twin, born at the end of July, who would unravel the Dark Lord's organization. The Boy Who Lived had a twin. To the Dark Lord, she was originally intended to be spared.
That fateful night in Godric's Hollow, Lily Potter had just tucked the sleeping girl under a blanket inside her brother's crib when she sacrificed herself to save her children from Voldemort. The curse rebounded off of the little boy and weakened the Dark Lord, defeating him for the time being. To protect the girl, her death was faked, her name was changed, and she was adopted out to another wizarding family, while her brother was sent to live within the Muggle world. Despite the protections she was given, the girl ended up within the Dark Lord's reach because of the very thing that saved her - love. And it was through love that she fulfilled the prophecy. This is the story of Clara Potter, known to the world as Kaia Diggory.
I marked this book as mature for mentions & descriptions of loss/death/witnessing death, mental illness, and fantasy violence.
