Y/N sits at the center of Slytherin’s most infamous friend group—Tom Riddle, Mattheo Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Lorenzo Berkshire, Regulus Black, and Barty Crouch Jr. They’re not jealous of each other, not competitive over her, and not subtle about the fact that she belongs in their orbit. At Hogwarts, it’s an unspoken rule: don’t stand too close, don’t linger too long, and don’t mistake her warmth for availability. Because if you do, the entire Slytherin table shifts at once. But Y/N doesn’t mind. She jokes with them, flirts back, and loves them all in her own way—equally, easily, like it was always meant to be this way.
