You’ve spent years cultivating the reputation of a proper Slytherin: clever, ambitious, sharp-tongued, and utterly uninterested in being liked. As the daughter of an influential wizarding family, you’ve learned early that Hogwarts is a game of alliances—and Slytherins are expected to play to win. Cedric Diggory is everything you’re supposed to dislike. He’s a Hufflepuff golden boy: kind, humble, effortlessly popular, and annoyingly determined to see the best in everyone. You’ve traded barbs with him since your first year, usually leaving conversations convinced that he couldn’t possibly be more irritating. Then your sixth year changes everything.
