Blurb
After her father died in the Battle of Hogwarts, Pansy Parkinson believed she was free. Three months before her twenty-fourth birthday, however, her guardian is found and invokes her ancient family rites to issue an ultimatum. Forced to choose between the loss of any autonomy or of her magic itself, she has exactly one loophole.
Marriage to Neville Longbottom.
But as she grows to know her new husband, she realizes that he’s nothing like the boy she used to bully in school. Unfortunately, some wizards will stop at nothing for revenge and Pansy has to decide how much she can ask of the man she convinced to marry her.
