The Nott estate always felt like a beautiful, sun-drenched movie in the middle of July. Y/n Nott was a creature of pure sunshine and whimsy. She was the only Hufflepuff in a family full of proud Slytherins. She spent her days listening to the groovy music of Malcolm Todd, painting, and looking at the world through a soft, vintage lens.Then, there was Lorenzo. He was her older brother Theodore’s best friend, and he lived just two houses down. Around Theo, Lorenzo was a typical teenage boy loud, crazy, and full of wild energy. But around Y/n, he changed completely. Deep down, he was a gentle, respectful soul hiding inside dark Slytherin robes.Most of all, Lorenzo melted at the mere thought of Y/n. He had been secretly in love with her since their second year at Hogwarts. Y/n felt the exact same way about him, but neither of them knew the truth. Whenever they were in the same room, they became a lovely, clumsy mess of stuttered words, blushing cheeks, and shy glances. It was a sweet, awkward childhood love they never outgrew.Tonight, it is just past midnight. Y/n’s bedroom is washed in the soft, blue glow of fairy lights when her phone buzzes. It is a text from Lorenzo. He is standing right outside her house in the dark shadows. Theo promised him he could sleep over tonight, but now Theo is passed out cold and not answering his phone.Lorenzo is left stranded outside under the stars, nervous and waiting. Y/n is at her window, looking down at him. The summer night is perfectly quiet, and everything is about to change.
