The Silver Swan

Jacynthe

Story Summary:
“Why do I go on about Cho Chang? It isn’t as if the two of us were destined to live happily ever after … but for me the story begins and ends with her.” Cho was Padma’s first friend at Hogwarts, her mentor and protector. Now they have grown apart but the bond between them is still strong. As the struggle with Voldemort moves toward open war, Padma looks back on the very different choices each has made. This is a story of love and friendship, of loyalty and betrayal, of questionable decisions and adventures that do not end as expected. Sometimes, good and evil aren’t what we thought they were.
