(i have a similar premise, but the rules are reversed on my other one. Go check it out)Everyone at Hogwarts thinks Draco Malfoy being best friends with a Hufflepuff is insane. Especially when that Hufflepuff is Y/N. What started as a random argument outside Potions somehow turned into an inseparable friendship full of sarcastic banter, stolen food, late-night studying, and Draco becoming embarrassingly attached to her. Y/N is one of the only people who treats him normally, and Draco would do almost anything for her. Which is exactly why Mattheo Riddle hates it. Because Mattheo has been in love with Y/N for years. The problem is that Draco always seems to be there first — walking her to class, making her laugh, standing too close, looking at her a little too softly for “just friends.” And Draco doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. Y/N stays completely oblivious, convinced Draco is simply overprotective and dramatic in a best-friend way. But during a snowy Hogsmeade trip, Mattheo finally reaches his limit after watching Draco gently fix Y/N’s scarf without even thinking about it. Because suddenly Mattheo realizes something terrifying: He’s not competing with another guy. He’s competing with the person Y/N trusts most in the world. Now jealousy grows, tension rises, and Y/N slowly begins realizing maybe her friendship with Draco has never been as simple as she thought.
