Growing up next door to the Weasley twins, you were the chubby best friend folded seamlessly into their world. But everything shifts when you realize you’ve fallen for Fred the boy whose laughter feels like home. Afraid he could never feel the same, you pull away to protect the friendship you can’t bear to lose. In the space your distance creates, someone unexpected steps in: Draco Malfoy.
Maggie Bell has a talent — not for magic, not for charms, not even for flying — but for CHAOS. Unfiltered, nonstop, enchanted-beasts-following-her kind of chaos. If something at Hogwarts rattles, glows, moves, or has fangs, Maggie will somehow trip over it… or accidentally adopt it.
In a Hogwarts where magical strength is determined at age five by the Familiar you manifest, Maggie Hawthorne has always been the anomaly. Everyone else receives proud, powerful companions—lions, serpents, leopards, bears—that define their magical path.
When a quiet moment by the Black Lake leads to the discovery of a forgotten journal, everything changes. What begins as a simple attempt to return a lost item spirals into something far more unsettling—pages filled with intimate observations, meticulous sketches, and a handwriting that feels disturbingly familiar. As the lines between watcher and watched blur, the safety of Hogwarts no longer feels certain. Someone has been paying attention. Someone knows her far too well.
