Cautiously Yours || Fred Weasley

Ophelia Malfoy has never fit the mold carved out for her by her pureblood dynasty. Sharp tongued, frighteningly intelligent, and fiercely independent, she's spent her years at Hogwarts building a reputation as the one Malfoy who refuses to be controlled. But for all her composure, there is one person guaranteed to ignite her temper. Fred Weasley, resident troublemaker, Gryffindor golden boy, and Ophelia's self declared nemesis.

Fred is everything she claims to hate: loud, infuriatingly confident, too clever for his own good, and always armed with a grin that makes Ophelia want to hex something. Their rivalry is legendary; his pranks, her biting retorts, his chaos to her precision.

So when Ophelia is suddenly forced to tutor Fred in Defence Against the Dark Arts, by a professor who has clearly lost his mind, she's convinced she's living her worst nightmare. But the more time they're forced to spend together, the thinner the line between irritation and intrigue becomes... and Ophelia finds herself noticing the warmth in Fred's laughter, the bravery beneath the mischief, the way he looks at her like he sees her, not the family she was born into.

Yet shadows are stretching across the wizarding world. Whispers of Voldemort's return grow louder, and with every passing day the pressure from Ophelia's father intensifies. Lucius Malfoy expects his daughter to follow him into darkness, into loyalty, into the ranks of the Death Eaters.

Caught between bloodline and conscience, duty and desire, Ophelia must choose whether her future lies in the life she was bred for... or in the boy she was never meant to fall for.
