ᴹᴰᴺᴵ🔞| You came to London expecting new beginnings, new friends, and maybe a few attractive Quidditch players to admire from a safe distance. You definitely didn’t expect Everett Parkinson. Pansy’s older brother is everything you usually avoid—older, quiet, reserved, intimidatingly handsome, and seemingly allergic to emotional vulnerability. Pansy has spent years trying to find him someone, but every blind date ends canceled, every number gets blocked, and every potential romance dies before it starts. Then she meets you. Suddenly, Pansy’s matchmaking schemes become suspiciously subtle. A Manor visit where she conveniently disappears. A Hogsmeade trip where everyone mysteriously splits up. Invitations designed to keep you and Everett in the same room long enough to actually notice each other. And somehow, it works. Not quickly. Not easily. Because Everett doesn’t fall for you at first. He argues with you. You argue back. He gets irritated. You get even more irritated. Somewhere between the bickering, stolen glances, unexpected kindness, and jealousy neither of you understands, something begins changing. But when one drunken night finally pushes your carefully built tension too far, the morning after leaves you with more questions than answers. Because Everett leaves. And now the man who spent months pretending you were nothing to him has to figure out why walking away from you suddenly feels impossible. Pansy wanted to find her brother someone. She just didn’t expect that someone to become his favorite problem.
