MAKE THEM GOLD, PART II: NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
( volume two ─── nineteen-nine-five— six )
BOOK 02 OF 04 | THE RISE OF A SUN/FALL OF A STAR SERIES
"in which part two of asterope malfoy's story begins. . ."
nothing gold can stay . . .
AURELIA BLACK, ONCE known asAsterope Aurelia Malfoy is about to enter her fifth year at Hogwarts and she's not sure if she's going to make it through. In the last year, she's fought dragons, mermaids, and her foreign girlfriend who turned out to be a forty-two-year-old Death-Eater that wanted her dead, and Aurelia Black is dreadfully tired. She had watched one of her friends die at the hands of a newly resurrected Lord Voldemort, she won the Triwizard Tournament, and found out her mother's been Bellatrix Lestrange this whole time and that whoever her father is has probably got no idea she even exists and if he does, well then by the sounds of it, he won't be too pleased to meet her again. She's just so tired, she doesn't want to go back to Hogwarts.
It's a miracle she's even still holding herself together at this point, everything inside her is hanging by a thread; her sanity, her hope, her happiness, her emotions. It's all kept together by a thread that's on the verge of snapping. She's not sure just how much longer she'll last but once she takes a look at the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that strangely resembles a toad ──── a very pink toad, to be exact ──── she knows it'll take a miracle for her to make it to the end of the year.
( And if she's not going to make it through this year, you bet, Aurelia will take that pink toad down with her )
Everything has gone downhill and not just for Aurelia, but for those around her. Those who are desperately trying to help her, but she's afraid that she's too far gone at this point and once that thread snaps, it'll be too late for her. And she supposes this is oddly fitting, considering her name and what it means ──── the sun-faced star, the golden one ──── perhaps Robert Frost was right when he wrote Nothing Gold Can Stay. Of course, that would mean she would have had to be golden and she never was ──── a copper-filled girl trying so desperately to live up to the name bestowed up her but never quite reaching that goal. Perhaps, now she never will . . .
