Tropes: Friends to Lovers• High-Stakes Pining • 90’s Hogwarts Party Culture (No Voldemort AU) Hogwarts is loud, messy, and fueled by cheap firewhisky, late-night ragers, and absolute chaos. In a world where Voldemort never existed, the biggest battle Y/N faces is surviving her own teenage hormones. Y/N and Charlie are inseparable best friends, and everyone is betting on when they will finally hook up. Y/N thinks Charlie carrying her back to the dorms is just standard best-friend behavior. Charlie is completely distracted by how perfectly her tiny frame fits into his giant flannels. At 5’1”, Y/N is a sharp-tongued Ravenclaw with black cat energy, a book always in hand, and the highest marks in her year. At 6’5”, Charlie Weasley is a broad, freckled force of nature who spends his days wrestling magical beasts and his nights anchoring their chaotic friend group. They are inseparable. They are best friends. And they are both completely, miserably in love with each other. To Y/N, Charlie’s constant, protective presence and the sweet, quiet things he does for her are just proof of his good nature. To Charlie, Y/N’s sharp wit and fierce loyalty are a dangerous distraction from his obsession with dragons—especially when he is constantly fixated on just how perfectly her tiny frame fits against his. When the line between friendship and something more begins to blur, the stakes feel higher than any professional challenge. In a world of high-pressure training and close-knit social circles, the biggest hurdle is navigating the space between two people who know each other too well.
