AC

A world stripped of color. A bond that was never supposed to break—and a spark that was never supposed to ignite. Transferring from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts for her sixth year was supposed to be a fresh start for Y/N. Sorted into Slytherin yet welcomed warmly into Hermione’s inner circle, she had it all: brilliant friends, a quiet refuge in her house, and a genuine, devoted love with Theodore Nott. But when N.E.W.T. Potions introduces the Amortentia Clarifying Draught—a rite of passage that strips away environmental color until your eyes lock onto your true soulmate—Y/N and Theo drink it expecting a promise. Instead, they are left in a cold, unyielding greyscale. Heartbroken, Y/N resigns herself to a muted world. Until a late arrival strolls into Care of Magical Creatures, drawling an arrogant insult at Harry Potter. One glance toward the voice shatters her greyscale in a violent, blinding explosion of color. The problem? Her soulmate isn't just the boy her best friends despise. He’s Draco Malfoy—and he happens to be Theodore Nott’s best friend.
