Chloe is content with her quiet life amid her Muggle parents' fear of magic.  But after suffering a brutal attack at the hands of would-be Death Eaters, she is thrust into a world both exhilarating and terrifying.  Marlene McKinnon and her friends, the Marauders, are rule-breakers.  They leave laughter and chaos in their wake.  They are everything that Chloe thought she never wanted, least of all Sirius Black: cavalier, reckless and so strangely alluring.  As the years pass, her infatuation with Marlene and Sirius forces her to question where her loyalties lie in the shadow of a rising war.

It was winter and we were all spinning dreams. They grew over the year, like ice-flowers over a glass window. Each of us had our own—hidden, clutched in our hands like tiny birds. We buried them deep in the hush of snow. They were inside each of us: the brave boy, the moon fearer, inside the loyal friend and the cold pureblood. Secret roots grew deep in the ribs of Plain Jane and Green Eyes. They lurked inside me: Practically Betrothed.

As she watched the willowy man, Luna forgot that she still bled beneath her bandages. Forgot that the scent of death was still on her. That the War was still raging and, that the fate of the wizarding world rested in the sullied palm of the Boy Who Lived, and Luna could do nothing to help. War has a way of numbing your senses.
