To help his best friend talk to the girl of his dreams, Elliot Tanner foolishly agrees to take Polyjuice Potion and break into Gryffindor Girl's dormitory to circumvent Godric Gryffindor's spell that only lets girls in. In the form of fellow female students, Elliot gets into the girls' dormitory, but his best friend is rejected by Gryffindor's spell.
As Elliot starts to ask questions about what is going on the world and why he was able to pass as a girl in the eyes of Godric Gryffindor, the world begins to fight back. Eliot is hearing a strange voice that sounds like a narrator describing his life, and those he loves are occasionally cursed with glowing green eyes as they act like puppets.
All of this would be stressful enough for a sixth year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, except there are dementors floating around the castle and a madman named Sirius Black obsessed with some third year student nobody can stand.
This story is written as a love letter to the trans community who grew up loving the world of Hogwarts only to feel betrayed by the Dark Lady that created it.
The Battle of Hogwarts is over, but the scars of war remain. As Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for an unprecedented 8th year, she is determined to rebuild, heal, and move forward. But when she's forced to share a dormitory-and her daily life-with Pansy Parkinson, the sharp-tongued Slytherin who once stood against everything she believed in, Hermione finds herself drawn into an unexpected storm of tension, rivalry, and self-discovery.
Haunted by the past and burdened by their choices, both Hermione and Pansy must navigate a Hogwarts that feels both familiar and foreign. Through reluctant alliances, clashing ideals, and moments of vulnerability, they begin to unravel the facades they've built to protect themselves. But as walls crumble, they'll face questions neither of them is ready to answer: Can forgiveness mend what's been broken? And is there more to their connection than either of them is willing to admit?
Amid the chaos of rebuilding a school-and a world-they thought they knew, Hermione and Pansy must confront their differences, their shared history, and the growing storm between them. Sometimes, the only way to heal is to step into the tempest.
Enemies. Allies. Something more?
Their story is just beginning.
