"My heart tells me to love you, but my brain tells me to wait."
Aly Weasley is back and in her sixth year. As the war with Voldemort rages around her and her friends, she needs to learn that if she wants to protect herself, and the ones she loves, she'll have to do more then be a good student. She'll need to stand up to people she never expected to, hold her ground, and never let go of hope for when the war will end.

She's determined not to let him get under her skin... but some wounds don't heal, they deepen
