When Tom Riddle falls genuinely, terrifyingly in love with Hogwarts' most popular Hufflepuff, he must navigate his own dark, possessive nature to protect her from the dangerous crossfire of the Marauders' era.
After the Becker murders, naive newcomer Y/N is stranded at the Macher estate without a car. To her, Billy and Stu are handsome protectors; to them, she is a shared trophy. They use staged scares and gaslighting to ensure she never leaves the woods—or the lethal safety of their arms.
To Malleus, the world is dust—until her. The magic-less human that smells of ancient rain, triggering a draconic greed he cannot ignore. What starts as protection becomes a gilded cage. She isn’t his friend; she’s a hoarded treasure, and the dragon will never let his rain wash away.
For a century, billionaire tech tycoon Ignistherial Vane lived a solitary life, hiding his true identity as the world's last Solar Flare dragon. But when a human woman walks onto his protected mountain lands, her scent awakens a primal, undeniable instinct deep within his soul. Y/n has no idea she has stepped into the territory of an ancient apex predator—or that she is the fated mate he will stop at nothing to claim.
The protective wards are shattering. Harry Potter is missing. Voldemort stands at the gates, poised for absolute victory. In a desperate, final gamble, Minerva McGonagall triggers an ancient blood-seal charter to release Hogwarts' ultimate secret: a volatile, nineteen-year-old student kept in stasis for centuries. Known as the Aegis, she doesn't fight for the Light, she doesn't fear the Dark, and she finds the concept of war hilarious. To save the wizarding world, the Order of the Phoenix must unleash a chaotic wildfire they cannot control—and hope she burns the Dark Lord first.
