After the Dark Lord's return, the wizarding world was divided. As the Ministry slowly crumbled, one name began to circulate among the Death Eaters: Arabella Black, the future heiress of one of the oldest families and destined to become the next most powerful Death Eater.

But that same blood made her a target. Enemies wanted to find her before she took their place.

Cygnus Black was not willing to take the risk.

The Black and Nott families had been united by loyalty for generations, so she made a decision: to hide Arabella under the protection of Theodore Nott.

"I don't need a babysitter," Arabella snapped, crossing her arms.

"Perfect. Because I don't want to take care of an unbearable Black either," Theodore replied without taking his eyes off her.

From that day on, Theodore had to accompany her everywhere: training sessions, meetings, patrols, and even guard her bedroom door. Arabella did everything she could to escape; Theodore always managed to find her before anyone else could.

Every argument ended the same way.

—Are you planning to follow me all day?

—Until the war is over.

-I hate you.

—What a relief. It would be a problem if I liked you.

But as the attacks increased and the threat drew ever closer to Arabella, they both began to wonder what would be more dangerous: the enemies who were pursuing her… or the feelings that neither of them was willing to admit.
