Managing the Mischief | George Weasley

"The silence in the manor is getting a bit much lately. Don't make me regret my lack of initiative."

Elysia Nott was a ghost made of silk and iron, navigating the halls of Hogwarts with a silver Prefect badge and the heavy weight of a Dark legacy. While the world saw only a sharp-edged pureblood heiress, George Weasley saw a girl who knew her way around a fifth-dimensional anchor and wasn't afraid to challenge a Weasley twin.

Now, the war is over. The Nott name is a brand of infamy, and Elysia is determined to survive without her family's blood-soaked gold or the Ministry's pity. She is a woman of two worlds, belonging to neither, looking for a place to disappear.

She finds herself at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes-a riot of chaos and noise.

George Weasley is drowning in the hollow silence left behind by his twin. He needs a manager who isn't afraid of the madness. He needs someone with a sharp mind to keep the shop-and his own thoughts-in line.

In a world still rebuilding from the wreckage, a Lion and a Serpent must decide if they can balance more than just the ledgers.

"You're brilliant when you're cold, Elysia, but you're magnificent when you're warm."
