DISCLAIMER

Faye Winslow never meant to stand out. Quiet, clever, and tucked into the golden heart of Hufflepuff, she's content watching magic unfold from the edges. But Hogwarts has other plans. Friendships spark like spells, secrets stir in the stone corridors, and a certain red-haired Gryffindor keeps looking at her like she's more than just background.

Faye knows the threads of her life were meant to be gentle - woven in kindness, steadiness, and warmth. But when the winds shift and fire comes calling, she'll have to decide how brightly she's willing to burn.

Some hearts are quiet.
Some are forged in gold.
