You and Theodore Nott have spent the last year pretending you are over each other. It would be more convincing if either of you were better liars. When Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass invite you both to their countryside estate for a week of wedding festivities, avoiding each other becomes impossible. You are one of Astoria’s bridesmaids. Theo is one of Draco’s groomsmen. The house is full of champagne, formal dinners, pure-blood gossip, old friends, jealous guests, and enough unresolved tension to ruin several seating charts. Everyone knows you and Theo have history. Nobody knows you are still magically handfasted. The vow was made in secret during the final months of your relationship, back when loving each other felt permanent and leaving seemed impossible. After the breakup, neither of you mentioned it again. Unfortunately, Malfoy estate magic has no interest in denial. Now doors open for both of you. Seating cards rearrange themselves. Dance charms keep choosing you. Room assignments become suspiciously intimate. Every magical accident drags you and Theo closer to the truth you have spent a year avoiding. You can pretend he is your past. He can pretend he does not still look at you like losing you ruined something in him. But weddings remember vows. And this one is about to expose yours.
