Some stories begin with love, this one begins with hate.
From the moment they met again on platform 9 and 3/4, Draco Malfoy and Cordelia Blackwood vowed an eternity of hatred. Every class becomes a competition. Every conversation ends in an argument. Every year at Hogwarts only gives them more reasons to hate one another.
But hatred has a strange way of growing roots.
As the years pass, rivalry turns into reluctant respect, stolen glances become dangerous, and the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. With war looming over the wizarding world, family expectations, impossible choices, and long-buried secrets threaten to tear them apart before they ever have the chance to understand each other.
When the time comes to choose a side, they may be forced to do the one thing they never imagined:
Kill each other.
Or risk losing everything they have ever known.
Spanning seven years at Hogwarts, Apple Tree is a slow-burn enemies to lovers story about loyalty, forgiveness, impossible choices, and the quiet places where love can take root - even between the fiercest of enemies.
