After The Music

Rosalie Evermore has always known who she is supposed to be. She's the top of her classes, responsible, kind. She's the Gryffindor girl who tries to never disappoint anyone - especially her father.

As fourth year comes around, she has her place at Hogwarts figured out. She's ready to study with Hermione, laugh with Ron and Harry, talk with her best friend Daphne Greengrass, but most importantly - stay far away from Draco Malfoy and that should be easy.

Draco Malfoy is cruel, he's arrogant, and he is impossible to understand - yet somehow he's always there. In shared classes. Across crowded hallways. Watching her with his unreadable eyes. Their relationship has always been built on sarcastic remakes, their sharp remarks, and an unspoken rivalry.

Until one day they begin to notice things about each other they shouldn't.

The way he never lets people speak badly about her.
The way she looks for him before realizing she's doing it.
The way enemies begin to feel dangerously familiar.

As secrets grow and expectations close in, Rosalie finds herself caught between loyalty and curiosity, friendship and reputation - and Draco between who he's expected to be and who he becomes when he's around her.

While some stories begin with love, this one begins with tension.
