Y/N Black has always known how to keep a secret. As the younger sister of Regulus Black and cousin to Draco Malfoy, she was raised in the world of pure-blood families, old names, and even older expectations. At Hogwarts, she has everything people think a girl like her could want—status, friends, a place among Slytherin’s elite, and Adrian Pucey by her side. But nobody knows what Adrian is like when the doors close. To everyone else, Adrian is arrogant, charming, and untouchable. Around Regulus and Draco, he knows exactly how to play the perfect boyfriend. Behind closed doors, however, Y/N lives with a side of him that nobody else has ever seen. Her best friend, Pansy Parkinson, has no idea. Neither do Draco, Regulus, Theodore Nott, Mattheo and Tom Riddle, Blaise Zabini, or Lorenzo Burkshire—the boys who rule the Quidditch pitch and make up the heart of Slytherin’s seventh-year circle. Until one night, someone sees through the crack of Adrian’s bedroom door. Someone sees enough to realize that Y/N’s perfect relationship is anything but perfect. And suddenly, the secret she has spent so long protecting isn’t hers to keep anymore. With loyalties tested, friendships pushed to their limits, and feelings developing where they were never supposed to exist, Y/N is forced to confront a truth she’s been avoiding for far too long: Adrian may have convinced everyone that she belongs to him. But he doesn’t get to decide what happens to her next.
