In the shadowed halls of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy and Leona "Leo" Lestrange are bound by the faded ink of old family ledgers, betrothed since birth and shackled by their pure-blood legacies. Draco, heir to the notorious Malfoy fortune, balances the demands of dark family dealings with a growing desire for personal autonomy. Beneath his polished façade lies a conflict between duty and personal freedom. Leo, the fierce only daughter of the Lestrange family, renowned for their unwavering loyalty to dark arts, defies the traditional roles carved out for her. With a sharp intellect and rebellious spirit, she battles for a life where love is chosen, not imposed. Her journey encapsulates the struggle between familial loyalty and her own desires. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of Hogwarts, scrutinized by allies and adversaries alike. As the wizarding world teeters on the brink of war, the ancient rites meant to secure their power become the shackles they long to shatter. Torn between the love they share and the legacies they inherit, Draco and Leo face a pivotal choice: submit to the rites that bind them or forge a new path by breaking the ancestral chains. Will their spoiled rites lead them to ruin, or can they rewrite their destinies and claim a future where their love triumphs over legacy? (Title based on a Taylor Swift song)
