The Last Spark

After witnessing Cedric Diggory's death in the graveyard, nothing feels real anymore - least of all survival. Lexi, a Muggle-born Gryffindor and part of the golden trio, returns to Hogwarts carrying a grief so heavy it turns silence into a weapon and memory into a battlefield. While her friends struggle to support her, Lexi can't shake the feeling that she's been left behind in a world that insists on moving forward.

As the wizarding world tilts further into darkness, Lexi must learn how to keep living in the aftermath of loss - even when it feels like betrayal. But grief has strange allies. One of them wears a Slytherin crest and carries a name she never thought she'd say without contempt: Draco Malfoy.

Torn between the boy she lost and the boy she's learning to see in a new light, Lexi must navigate a year haunted by war, guilt, and the unrelenting question: Why her?

This is not a love story.
This is a survival story.
And survival, as Lexi learns, is the cruelest form of magic.
