❛ cause  you  and  i,  we  were  born  to  die. ❜

Olivia Mallard was somewhat of a mystery. She was known around the Wizarding World, but was she really? No one knew the true Olivia Mallard; they only knew the tales that they had heard from the gossipers around them. Though some—but only some—of those "rumors" were true, neither Olivia nor anyone else who wanted to see the light of day would ever confirm them.

She was something scary—or rather, her eyes were scary. Something in her eyes made people squirm in fear; her pale-green gaze was soulless, cold, and dark, which sent the kids around her running for the hills, giving her a sense of enjoyment but also disappointment in the fact that she didn't have any friends.

Lucas, her younger brother, was the only one who never ran from her. In fact, he ran towards her—he was her one and only friend. She had practically raised him, seeing as though their parents were always away on "business trips" or some other undisclosed trips that they didn't take their children on.

She was the only parent he knew, so when she finally went to Hogwarts, it was hard for him. But it was like a breath of fresh air to Olivia, like she was in an empty field full of flowers, running as the sun shone down on her.

Slytherin was her house, and that's where she met her best—and life-long—friends, including one particular blonde boy, who in fact did not start off as a friend, despite his attempts.

Draco Malfoy was a lonely boy. He had no siblings, and like Olivia's parents, his parents were always too preoccupied with work and other responsibilities to spend time with him, much less raise him. House elves were his caretakers for most of his life. His mother, however, was better than his father in the sense that she tried to be a slightly better parent.

The words "feelings and emotions make you weak" were drilled into his head from a young age. His father lectured that people would take advantage of you if you weren't a cold-hearted monster (his words, not mine).

Draco learned to isolate himself—to hide his emotions and feelings from everyone and everything. That is, until he encountered Olivia Mallard, with her soulless eyes that made him smile and her devilish smile that made him swoon.

Draco and Olivia were always attracted to each other—well, "always" for the most part. It started out as a simple school crush—nothing too serious—but as they grew older, it evolved into something much more—something more powerful and passionate.

They pretended to be the only ones aware; Olivia even denied it a time or two, but everyone knew. It was as obvious as the white powder that coated the ground on a long winter's night.

Everyone could see how in love they were—how infatuated with one another they were. It didn't go unnoticed by their parents, either. Olivia's mother wasn't too happy about it; Olivia's father didn't really care but ultimately agreed with his wife to keep the peace; and Draco's parents, on the other hand, couldn't have been more thrilled—their son, finding love with someone of pure-blood status, what more could they want?

The two were best friends—after they got over their little bump in the road, that is. They never really said it aloud to anyone other than themselves, but it was true. She knew that he was the only one she could go to about her problems, and he knew that he could do the same.

He was still distant from the dreadful land of emotions, but every now and again, he'd catch his polished mask cracking, showing off some semblance of humanity to her. And she was still as cold and dark as ever, but she would purposefully show him her true self, knowing that he adored it and her.

They were similar in many aspects—they both had overly cruel parents; they were alone; they appeared emotionless, but deep down in the depths of their souls, known as hell, they were feeling everything; and finally, they were completely and utterly dependent on and in love with each other.

But everything would change when Olivia abandoned her friends at the beginning of their sixth year in favor of The Golden Trio.

They had no idea how their lives and the world would change in the coming years. Nothing was ever going to be the same again. Nobody was ever going to be the same again. Their world, as they knew it, was doomed. It would be destroyed, and it would take some of them with it, and some of them would be the ones doing the destruction.

Draco Malfoy and Olivia Mallard were star-crossed lovers. They were destined for destruction and born to die. If only they could've done something to stop it. If only they could've seen it coming. If only they...

hello! I've been planning this book for so long. I have changed the plot probably about a hundred times, but I think i've got it down now...hopefully.

update: welp, i changed the plot again

also, i had this published before, but then took it down and completely revamped it, that's why the dates down below are so far from each other.

i hope you enjoy!

kisses.
