Characters Involved: Theo Darke, Lori Leigh, Belle Leynette, Scott Ryder, Jack Reid
Plot Summary:
Dylan Caoimhe is a fifth year Slytherin who has lead a hard life. He was put into an orphanage at a young age and never got along with the other kids. His only friend was his caretaker, Alanah. Having recently passed away, Dylan has no one to turn to.
August Reid is a fourth year Ravenclaw and comes from a pureblood family and all the pleasures money could buy. If only it could buy a good family. His mother has recently gone mad, his father is having an affair, and his brothers don't seem to care.
This year, Dylan is slowly warming up to people and August is realising that the only person you can depend on for happiness is yourself. By chance, both boys met Theo Darke, a Ravenclaw prefect, who recognises the need to be loved in both of them. Theo enlists the help of Lori Leigh, Belle Leynette, Scott Ryder, and even Mary Evans to bring happiness to these two.
But Theo is caught in his own love triangle. If he can't sort that out, how will he ever be able to help Dylan and August?
