Astoria Greengrass, the second daughter of the ancient and noble Greengrass family, is about to enter her third year in Slytherin.
But her current situation is always full of troubles: her sister and mother are no longer as close to her as a childhood, the friendship with rival college classmates can only be secret, and the oppression of family conventions and college prejudices is deepening, all of which makes it difficult for her idealistic to adapt.
The new term also brings unexpected new challenges: the Triwizard Tournament and a visit from a foreign friend, the unexpected benefits of a potential romance between two sisters, the opportunities and dangers of Muggle studies class... Most of all, she explores the truth of her chaotic childhood memories, and the stories and conspiracies behind them - for good or ill.
How will Astoria make it through this colorful, but disastrous, special school year? Can her faltering relationships turn around? Can she overcome her dissatisfaction with the present and her excessive nostalgia for the past, and find the meaning of life that she believes in?
