This story is largely based on Manacled by senLinyu; therefore, there are parts directly taken from Manacled as copy-pastes, which I acknowledge and state from the beginning.
The idea arose from adding this girl, Beth Grindelwald, into my story—not entirely my own story—because I felt that Astoria didn't have a truly interesting or impactful lore.
So, I decided to create this story with a deeper and darker lore from the start. Everything begins from fourth year at Hogwarts onwards, until reaching that Manacled present where things get even better, or crueler.
The story is about Beth Grindelwald and the Slytherin boys: a pure-blood girl, heiress to dark magic and political power, who studies at Hogwarts and is part of the Slytherin elite.
Amidst intrigues, loyalties, and an inevitably approaching war, she falls in love with the wrong person at the wrong time.
Her decisions, a secret pregnancy, and the alliances surrounding her push her toward a dark, pre-written destiny where love, power, and survival collide mercilessly.
A happy ending? Keep reading to find out.
