They say first loves never last. Draco Malfoy and Marly Middleton are living proof that sometimes they never leave, either. After growing up side by side, falling in love at eight years old, and breaking each other’s hearts at fifteen, they’ve spent the last three years pretending they’ve moved on. They haven’t. Now it’s their final year at Hogwarts, and sharing the same common room, the same friends, and the same castle is proving far more difficult than either of them expected. Especially when the feelings they buried refuse to stay buried. Everyone thinks they know why Draco and Marly broke up. Everyone is wrong. Some secrets were hidden to protect a family name. Others were buried to protect a broken heart. But at Hogwarts, secrets have a habit of finding their way into the light. Childhood best friends. First loves. Exes. Still hopelessly in love. Or maybe… They were never really over to begin with.
