Inrevocabilis Cantanem

Duchess Mystique

Story Summary:
The battle of good versus evil has finally ended at Hogwarts. House separation seems a thing of the past as Harry and Draco enter their seventh year. It would appear that the Prophecy has come to light: Harry Potter has defeated Lord Voldemort. Ron has severed all ties to Harry and Hermione, and his hatred of Draco grows stronger day by day, while Harry’s and Draco’s love, despite Harry’s bond with Hermione, heads down a rapid course of passion, deception, and suspicion. A Prophecy foretelling the rise of a pureblood witch or wizard with more power than Voldemort lies in the Ministry of Magic. With one incantation, the entire Wizarding World can change, and danger lives closer than anyone can imagine…until it’s too late.

Narcissa Malfoy has broken the over a year’s worth of silence to communicate with Draco, though to do so may cost her life.

When Harry and Draco turn Potions class into their personal playground, Draco is pleased that their penalty allows him to share an intimate moment with Harry. Just maybe he’ll finally seduce The Boy Who Lived. But at the Halloween Masque, things take a dark turn. (Harry/Draco)
