About

The Wizarding War is still raging across Britain. Voldemort's forces grow stronger by the day, while the Order of the Phoenix fights back from the shadows, desperate to keep the resistance alive. Among them is Carmen Hayward, a twenty-one-year-old former Slytherin who once believed fiercely in pureblood supremacy. At Hogwarts, she had been arrogant, sharp-tongued, and openly hostile toward Muggle-borns and blood traitors—including Charlie Weasley, whom she regularly called a blood traitor. The war changed her. After witnessing the reality of Voldemort's regime, Carmen abandoned everything she once believed and joined the Order. Still, many members haven't forgotten her past. Others simply find her difficult to tolerate. She's brutally straightforward, witty, stubborn, and slightly mean when she feels like it. Carmen also has a naturally flirtatious side, often teasing people simply because she enjoys watching them become flustered. And she's hard to ignore. Tall and slender, with pale skin, striking grey eyes, and long dark hair, Carmen is undeniably beautiful—and she knows it. Charlie Weasley Charlie Weasley returned to Britain to fight in the war after years abroad working with and taming dragons. The experience made him exceptionally strong, capable, and fearless, earning him a reputation within the Order as one of their most effective weapons. He's mature, calm, intelligent, and frighteningly merciless toward Voldemort's followers. Handsome, confident, and physically imposing, Charlie naturally attracts plenty of attention from women—but he rarely seems interested. Because his attention has always belonged to one person. Carmen Hayward. His obsession with her began at Hogwarts, back when she looked down on him for being a Weasley and called him a blood traitor. Somehow, that never made Charlie stop wanting her. If anything, it only made the obsession worse. He doesn't care about her past anymore. He doesn't care about the things she said to him, or the mistakes she's made. Whatever Carmen does, Charlie finds himself incapable of truly holding it against her. But he hides all of it. Around her, he's calm and indifferent, pretending she means no more to him than anyone else. Meanwhile, he notices everything—the smallest injury, every change in her expression, every time she disappears on a dangerous mission. And Carmen has started noticing him too. The war slowly forces them together: shared missions, late nights in Order safe houses, arguments, close calls, and moments where one has to trust the other with their life. Carmen teases him. Charlie pretends not to care. She flirts. He acts completely unaffected. But beneath the indifference, Charlie's obsession has never faded. And as the war pushes them closer together, keeping it hidden becomes harder
