Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

But as months and then years pass, Oino and her sisters have to face not just the women of Tenedos who also live in the camp, but the heart will have its say, too. Convictions will be shaken and sympathies turned - but in the end, they are only girls, far from home.
In Troy, meanwhile, Helen watches as death begins to rip the Trojan royal family apart.

Summary
[In which no love, however defined, is wasted in Dorran Ravencroft-Bloodflame’s book, and in Ellis Moonflower’s opinion, every second with Dorran is time well spent.]
Dorran and Ellis have been inseparable for years, and they have a multitude of things to show for it—countless memories, inside jokes, constant platonic love. At fifteen, they’ve already built a friendship that feels older than either of them. Dorran is always sentimental and venturesome, whilst Ellis keeps to herself and observes the world through the camera of a lens or the echo of a poem.
Alas, things get rocky when they try to explain their relationship, even when it makes perfect sense to them. And yet, Dorran’s perspective gradually shifts, and the safe ground beneath her crumbles in an instant, replaced by both self-loathing for her tendency to overanalyze and the uncertainty of what other people will think of her.
A star-chasing mind accompanied by a lyrical, tenderly reckless attitude: what could ever go awry? Everything. Literally everything. But it'll never feel more right.
