Summary: The Golden Trio faces new challenges in romance, school, and life. They are entering their last year at Hogwarts, and many things have changed. With Albus Dumbledore gone, the war has taken a turn for the worse. Minerva McGonagall is now Headmistress, and in an effort to make up for the lack of students she decides to invite a small group of exceptional foreign students from around the world.

One of those students is Lauren Heathwood; beautiful, mysterious, sharp, and dangerous. She is a girl who has nothing to loose and everything to gain, a past that drives her, and secrets that could change everything about the wizarding world. But when an unexpected relationship grows between her and the Chosen One, it throws a curveball and causes Lauren to have to make an ultimate decision: a choice between her past and her present, between her heart and her head, between one person and the wizarding world. What, or who, will she choose?

Summary: Everyone has a past, and everyone's future depends on the choices we made in our past. But one boy has never been able to make his own choices. The choices he made were always in fear of others. In one night, he remembers and realizes.

This is a look behind the grey eyes of Draco Malfoy. It's a look into the memories and thoughts of the son of a Death Eater. It's the realization and the vented anger that may or may not change anything when the morning dawns.
