The serpent and the rose

They knew each other before they could walk. Raised side by side, bound by the same dark legacy, until grief and duty pulled them apart.

Now Draco Malfoy is the serpent: sharp, cold, and every inch the heir his father demands. Kelsey Kallister is the rose: beautiful, admired and sharp as any thorn, a disappointment to her father who wished he had a son.

To Hogwarts, they are bitter rivals, the worst possible match, always at each other's throats. What no one sees is the act. Two people hiding the only bond that ever felt like home, fighting to survive the paths their fathers carved for them.

But masks slip. And some things are far more dangerous to keep buried.
