Emilia Hart has never belonged to just one world. Born a Muggle-born witch, she grew up in Essex with her Muggle parents and her older wizard brother, Elliot. Magic was something she had to learn while living a completely normal life. After attending Hogwarts for one year, Emilia realised the castle was not where she belonged. She returned home, continued learning magic through private tutoring and built a life away from the wizarding world. Now, at 19, Emilia balances college, helping Elliot run their corner shop and raising their 12-year-old sister, Lily. After their parents walked away from them, Emilia and Elliot became the family Lily needed. But there is one person who has always connected Emilia back to magic. Theodore Nott. Their relationship has existed away from Hogwarts, with Theodore travelling to Essex while keeping Emilia separate from his closest friends. They know about the mysterious girl he loves, but they have never met her. Until now. When Theodore finally adds Emilia Hart to the group chat, everyone expects to meet a stranger. Instead, they discover she is someone they already know. To Theodore’s friends, she is the girl he has been talking about for months. To Hermione Granger, she is the best friend she has had since childhood. Two worlds that have always existed separately suddenly collide. And Emilia must discover that maybe she was never meant to choose between magic and home. Maybe she was always meant to have both.
