The Unexpected Task

Summary:

Emorie Barnes has secrets, but at Hogwarts, secrets are nothing new.

When Emorie arrives at Hogwarts as a fourth-year transfer, the first in over a century, she is distracted by something far less thrilling than the Triwizard Tournament. Dreams that feel too real and questions she cannot answer plague her nights, lingering long after morning comes. As the year unfolds, she begins to understand that some mysteries are bigger than competition, and some truths are impossible to outrun.

And this year, Emorie’s secrets may not only change her. They may change everything.

Chapter Text

little by little,

as you left their voices behind,

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds,

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own,

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do—

determined to save

the only life you could save.
