Ariella Swan, a brilliant Ravenclaw graduate, returns to the Muggle world after facing unimaginable loss and the return of dark forces. Seeking solace and a normal life in Forks, she finds herself thrust into a new mystery when a familiar face from her past—a doppelganger of her deceased best friend—emerges. Can she navigate the complexities of her magical heritage, her estranged family, and a world brimming with secrets, all while trying to move on from her past? Dive into a tale where magic intertwines with the mundane, and the search for peace leads to unexpected dangers.

The rhythmic click-clack of the Hogwarts Express faded into a mournful hum beneath Ariella Swan's feet. Grief, a constant companion since the graveyard, pressed heavy against her. She was done with Hogwarts, finished with the magic that had defined her for seven years, now cast adrift in a world where Voldemort loomed and her best friend was gone.

She stared out the window, the emerald landscape blurring into an indistinct streak of green. Soon, it would be Forks, Washington, a place she barely remembered, a stark contrast to the hallowed halls she'd just left. A place where her estranged twin, Isabella, waited. Bella, who hated her. Bella, who was moving in with their father.

Ariella closed her eyes, the familiar weight of her journal in her hand. It was time to write, to pour out the tumultuous thoughts that churned within her, a futile attempt to make sense of a world that felt increasingly out of control.
