The Ashes & Silver
"you're cute when you're mad" She found with no past, no family, and no idea who she truly was-only the kindness of the Weasleys and a name she wasn't born with. The Sorting Hat paused too long. The magic in her veins doesn't follow rules. The portraits watch her with knowing eyes. Something ancient and powerful sleeps beneath her skin... but no one knows what. At Hogwarts, she's a mystery. To Draco Malfoy? She's a problem. Raised by blood traitors, quick-witted, reckless, and too powerful for her own good-Draco is convinced there's something wrong with her. And she's equally sure he's nothing but a spoiled coward with too much pride and not enough soul.
