A Calamity of Love and Lies

In the bustling heart of New York City, Harry Potter, now a seasoned Auror, is on a mission with the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). Far from the familiar grounds of London, he steps into a small coffee shop and meets Marigold Sharma, a barista with a hidden past. Recognizing her from the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry is intrigued by her story of renouncing magic to start anew in America, leaving behind the pain and destruction left behind in the aftermath of the war.

As Harry and Marigold reconnect, a spark ignites between them, offering Harry a glimpse of a life beyond the shadows of his past. But unknown to Harry, Marigold harbors a secret. She is not just a barista but an undercover Auror for MACUSA, assigned to monitor Harry. The president of MACUA suspects Harry is involved in The Calamity, a catastrophic event that breached the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, and believes Harry may have ties to The Unforgivable, the organization behind it.

Caught between duty and love, Marigold finds herself torn as her feelings for Harry deepen. When the truth comes out, Harry faces an impossible choice: trust in a burgeoning romance or confront the betrayal that threatens to unravel everything.

In this tale of magic, love, and deception, follow Harry Potter as he navigates the treacherous waters of suspicion and emotion, all while a dark force looms ever closer.
