Summary
You know how some girls get grounded for sneaking out or kissing the wrong boy? Yeah, I got dosed with truth serum and deported across the ocean.
My crime? Falling for a No-Maj. Tragic, I know.
Now I’m stuck in England, under the thumb of a father I barely know and the watchful eyes of the Malfoys. Spoiler: they don’t exactly hand out hugs and cookies. This is a story about what happens when you throw one very stubborn witch into the orbit of a man who defines the word dangerous.
Stick around. It’s going to be a slow burn, but I promise the sparks are worth it.

Summary
Hey guys. How’s it going? You doing okay?
So, as you might know, I got married. And no, before you ask, I’m not thrilled about it. Because Lector Carrow? Kind of awful. Like… impressively, professionally awful. Anyway. This story is about that.
I’ve got a lot of things I need to figure out and understand, but so far I can confirm this ride is wild in the way a car crash is wild. It’s still strange to me that a few short months ago I was living my life in D.C., doing my job, hanging out with my boyfriend, and thinking my biggest problem was whether I should finally buy a second set of sheets.
Then I made the mistake of loving a No-Maj. Audacity, apparently. And now I’ve been shipped off to London to live with my father like I’m an embarrassing family heirloom that needs to be locked in a vault until everyone forgets it exists.
The experience has been… well… enlightening, to say the least. I’ve felt more heartbreak and rage in the past few months than I did in my entire life before this. If anyone knows how to get me a flight back home, or to Australia, or honestly anywhere with fewer pureblood opinions and fewer men named Lector, that would be great.Series
