    Summary

    Light is easy to love. Show me your darkness.
    To say Jade Lerevep was a standout among the Slytherins would be a laughable understatement. She was bright-eyed, sharp-tongued, and had a smile that could melt titanium—though she’d never admit how often she used it as a weapon. There was a reason the Hat didn’t hesitate to send her to Slytherin, and it wasn’t just the way she wore emerald like it was stitched from ambition itself. Jade didn’t call herself competitive. She called herself determined. Purposeful. Hungry.

    So when the owl came from Albus Dumbledore—offering something vague and glittering—she didn’t hesitate. That old glint sparked in her eyes, and the restless ache for something greater stirred in her chest. A chance to work beside the great Albus Dumbledore? That would look exceptional on parchment.

    Before her tea could cool, her bags were packed. And she arrived at Hogwarts grinning like sunlight bottled in human form.

    What she didn’t expect was the obstacle.
    A potion master.
    Unsmiling. Impossible. Far too close to Dumbledore.
    And insufferably—insufferably—distracting.

    What does it mean to live when you are constantly ready to die?
