Ever since y/n’s mother passed away, Y/N has carried her grief entirely alone, hiding her pain behind silence and quiet smiles. Even though she’s grown close to Mattheo, Theodore, Lorenzo, and Draco — the most feared boys in Slytherin — she never lets them know what she’s going through. One night, hoping to numb the ache, she drinks too much at a party. When she returns to Hogwarts overwhelmed and broken, she finds herself at their shared dormitory, where she finally breaks down falling to floor in tears and tells them every secret she’s kept locked inside.
