୨୧ she was never meant to be known ୨୧ For seventeen years, she lived far away from Hogwarts. No one knew her name. No one knew where she came from. No one even knew she existed. Raised in secrecy and taught magic by someone who knew far more about the wizarding world than he ever let on, she grew up brilliant, dangerously talented—and completely unprepared for what happens when she’s finally given the freedom she’s always wanted. At seventeen, she arrives at Hogwarts as a mysterious transfer student. And suddenly, everyone wants to know who she is. Especially the Slytherins. She is intelligent enough to outsmart most people in the room. Unfortunately, she’s also chaotic enough to make the worst possible decision simply because it sounds entertaining. Pansy Parkinson becomes her partner in crime. Celestia Carrow becomes the person she trusts with her secrets. Draco Malfoy becomes her academic rival. Theodore Nott becomes fascinated by the way her mind works. And Mattheo Riddle? He becomes the one person she absolutely refuses to let get under her skin. Except he keeps trying. Their relationship isn’t instant. It isn’t easy. And it certainly isn’t love at first sight. It’s irritation. Curiosity. Arguments. Competition. Reluctant respect. Friendship. And, eventually, something neither of them is prepared to name. But Hogwarts has a way of exposing secrets. And hers is bigger than anyone could possibly imagine. Because the mysterious girl who appeared at Hogwarts isn’t simply a talented transfer student. She’s the daughter of the one professor who has spent seventeen years making sure nobody ever discovered she existed. Severus Snape’s daughter. And if Hogwarts finds out why he kept her hidden for so long… everything changes. She was hidden to keep her safe. Hogwarts is where she finally learns to be free.
