You really thought you fixed James Potter. Yeah. That aged horribly. After a year of dating Hogwarts' resident golden boy, {y/n} discovers James cheated with Lily Evans. And somehow the entire castle knows before breakfast. Now {y/n} is officially Potter's Ex, trying to survive seventh year without drowning in heartbreak, hexing anyone who whispers too loudly, or murdering James in the Great Hall. Luckily, {y/n}'s best friend is one minor inconvenience away from committing war crime and absolutely refuses to let {y/n} rot in misery. Meanwhile, Lily is drowning in guilt, Marlene is one insult away from starting a duel, and apparently half of Hogwarts has decided this breakup is their business. Then Severus Snape decides James Potter has taken enough from {y/n}. His original plan? Get close. Treat {y/n} better. Humiliate Potter. Make Lily watch. Simple. Except somewhere between sarcastic insults, stolen study sessions, and Severus remembering every tiny thing {y/n} likes, the revenge plot starts looking suspiciously like a crush. And unfortunately, Severus isn't the only one noticing. Regulus is watching. Sirius is panicking. Remus is quietly suffering. And one of James's other friends? Yeah, turns out someone else has been harboring a painfully inconvenient crush on {y/n}. James is losing his mind. Lily regrets everything. Best friends are actively discussing which curses would hurt the most. Congratulations, {y/n}. One cheating scandal has turned Hogwarts into the world's most dysfunctional love pentagon. And somehow, the school year has barely even started. Good luck, babe!
