Everyone at Hogwarts knows the Slytherin boys are dangerous. Nobody understands why they suddenly keep appearing around a quiet Ravenclaw girl who barely speaks above a whisper. After a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson leaves Lilia Vale sobbing over the memory of her dead mother, strange things begin appearing outside her dormitory door: enchanted paper birds, sweets, handwritten notes reminding her to eat. She never finds out who’s leaving them. Not for a very long time.
