Hogwarts has changed. The war that everyone expected never came. The houses still bicker, friendships cross old boundaries, and now the students are back for their eighth and final year—older, freer, and far less interested in following the rules they grew up with. You certainly aren't a Slytherin. In fact, you've never had much reason to involve yourself with them beyond the occasional class, friendship, or argument. Until one of them starts paying attention to you. At first, it's harmless. A lingering glance across the Great Hall. A seat taken beside you in the library. An oddly specific memory of something you mentioned weeks ago. A convenient appearance whenever you're alone. Then it becomes harder to ignore. Because he's always watching. He knows your habits. He notices who you spend time with. He remembers things you don't remember telling him. And whenever someone else gets a little too close, that carefully controlled Slytherin composure starts to crack. You don't know exactly when you became his favourite person. You only know that, somewhere along the way, his interest stopped being a crush. And became an obsession. Choose your house. Choose your Slytherin. Decide what happens when the boy who should have been your rival becomes the person who can't seem to stay away from you.
