K.B. Riley I woke to the sound of breathing right by my ear—soft, steady, and entirely too close. My heart pounded as I realized the cold, unfamiliar hand resting on my chest wasn’t my own.
K.B. Riley I’d go straight to Hogwarts. Predictable? Maybe. But there’s just something about wandering those dark hallways that feels… right. I’d probably spend most of my time in the Slytherin common room, tucked beneath the lake with its eerie, green-tinged light and just enough solitude. Maybe practice a few spells, maybe dig up some Hogwarts secrets the other houses conveniently overlook.

Oh, and you’d definitely find me exploring the Restricted Section at night—no Polyjuice, just a few well-placed charms. I’d skip the butterbeer and head straight for the firewhisky, thanks. Let the Gryffindors chase after glory; I’ll stick with a little well-earned mystery.
K.B. Riley A mystery from my life that could make a killer book plot? Oh, where to start! Picture this: a young girl grows up surrounded by secrets and whispers, the kind of things that seem normal until you realize... wait, this isn’t everyone’s childhood. I spent years untangling the mystery of my own family—layers of complicated relationships, unanswered questions, people who appeared in family photos but were like ghosts in real life. It’s like my own, slightly chaotic, origin story.

The plot would follow someone on a journey to uncover the truth about who they are and where they come from, revealing deep family secrets, maybe a long-lost sibling, or a mysterious stranger with ties to her past. It would be a story about resilience, survival, and (hopefully) a dash of humor because, trust me, you need it to make it through a family mystery like this one.
