A coming-of-age story set in the shadows of magic, legacy, and first heartbreak.
Astoria Greengrass has always been the afterthought.
Living in the polished shadow of her perfect older sister Daphne, she's spent her life being overlooked, compared, and dismissed-reduced to a whisper behind someone else's name. At home, her birthdays are forgotten. At school, she's just Daphne's little sister. But Astoria is more than what the world sees-or refuses to.
Then there's Noah Lestrange-a name spoken in warning, a boy wrapped in reputation and rumors. The son of Bellatrix, he's a storm everyone tells her to avoid. But he's also the first person who ever made her feel like herself. One name, spoken gently: Astoria. And suddenly, it mattered.
Their paths cross. Their worlds tangle. And for the first time, Astoria starts to believe she could be something more than background noise.
But love, especially this love, is dangerous. And maybe... it was a bad idea all along.
Set in the Wizarding World, "It Was a Bad Idea to Love You" is a tender and raw exploration of identity, heartbreak, and the quiet ache of trying to be enough. It's about what happens when the wrong person makes you feel right-and how finding yourself sometimes means losing more than you ever expected.
"I knew he'd break me. I just didn't know how much I'd let him."
|| Although this book is set in the wizarding world, none of the original storylines from Harry Potter will feature in this story. I wanted to really make this story its own with still remaining in the Harry Potter world||
Not long ago I was rewriting an old book of mine and I fell in love with the side characters and their stories which inspired me to make this <3
