Daisey Blackwood has always been a shadow-quiet, observant, and unnoticed by most. But not by Draco Malfoy. As childhood friends, she has followed him for as long as she can remember, trusting him to be her anchor in a world she barely understands.
Now, as a first-year at Hogwarts and a newly sorted Slytherin, Daisey finds herself surrounded by unfamiliar faces, clinging to the only person she knows. But Draco is in his fourth year, already entangled in House rivalries, expectations, and the weight of the Malfoy name.
To the rest of the world, she's just another first-year. To Draco, she's the girl who refuses to leave his side. But as the years pass, innocence fades, and the line between friendship and something more begins to blur.
In a world where blood status means everything, and darkness lurks behind every corner, Daisey must decide-will she always remain in Draco's shadow, or will she finally step into the light?
