Shifting was supposed to be temporary. One successful attempt, one night at Hogwarts, and then back to reality. Instead, you and your best friend wake up at King’s Cross with Hogwarts letters in your hands, names everyone somehow already knows, and a version of the wizarding world that feels a little too real to be a dream. Sorted into different houses but pulled into the same dangerous circle, the two of you quickly become entangled with Slytherin’s most infamous group — Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Matteo Riddle, and the rest of the people everyone warns you to stay away from. At first, it feels perfect. Magic. Parties. Late nights wandering Hogwarts. Secret passageways. People who make it dangerously easy to forget there’s a life waiting for you outside the castle. But this Hogwarts doesn’t follow canon as closely as it should. And the longer you stay, the more obvious it becomes that fantasy is far easier to fall in love with than reality.
