SB

late nights in the common room, Quidditch matches, and constant teasing between friends, their circle has stayed the same for years. Until Theodore Nott announces that his younger sister is transferring to Hogwarts. No one expects much—until Y/N Nott walks through the Slytherin common room doors. Suddenly the group dynamic shifts. Pansy Parkinson quickly claims her as her best friend, forming an unbreakable bond neither of them knew they needed. Draco Malfoy treats her like an annoying little sister, always watching the boys around her a little too closely. And then there’s Mattheo Riddle. Quiet, unpredictable, and impossible to read, Mattheo has never been interested in letting people get close. But the more time Y/N spends with the group, the harder it becomes for him to ignore her. What starts as tension slowly turns into something neither of them expected—and neither of them quite knows how to handle. Friendships grow, loyalties are tested, and emotions begin to surface in ways no one saw coming. Because sometimes the person you’re not supposed to fall for… is the one you can’t stay away from.
