Forbidden affections

It began in their third year - the year the walls of Hogwarts seemed to whisper secrets, and danger felt closer than ever. But for Hermione Granger, the real secret wasn't hidden in the shadows.
It was Lyra Malfoy.

Known as Draco's sister, but nothing like him, Lyra carries a calm power that silences rooms and a mystery even her closest friends don't dare question. Beneath her quiet defiance and sharp wit lies a truth about her bloodline that could shatter everything - and a heart that betrays her better judgment every time Hermione's near.

Hermione knows this connection breaks every rule she's ever followed.
Lyra knows it could ruin her if anyone found out.
Yet, as each year passes - as house loyalties shift, new professors test them, and war begins to rise - they find themselves drawn together, again and again, like two forces meant to collide.

From whispered glances in candlelit halls to choices that could tear them apart, their story is one of secrecy, rebellion, and love that shouldn't exist...
but refuses to die.

Because some bonds aren't chosen by magic they're forged in defiance of it.
