AU. Elena Potter's sixth year is chaotic: her twin brother lands himself in more trouble than ever, she has to do a project with Draco Malfoy, her best friends can't stop fighting, and no one will talk about the Daphne Thing. On top of it all, she realizes the definition of Dark Arts is less conclusive than she's ever been told—but she's determined to figure it all out. Draco/OC.

Shortly after starting, Rory Gilbert's junior year turns into chaos: vampires are everywhere, one starts blackmailing her into helping with his schemes, and her twin sister can't stop creating drama. At least she has her two best friends to help deal with it all. Potential Damon/OC (with Matt/OC, Tyler/OC, and Stefan/OC vibes). First in "The Crow and the Butterfly" series.
