When the Snatchers drag Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger to Malfoy Manor, Fawn Salish is already there—a Gryffindor living under the Malfoys’ roof as something between a ward and a war prisoner. She has never openly defied the Dark Lord, but her House, her friendships with the Golden Trio, and her refusal to fully fall in line have earned her a place in a house built on suspicion and punishment. Whispers follow her through the halls: obedience, usefulness, marriage to Draco Malfoy—always framed as mercy.
