After the fall of Lord Voldemort, his son Mattheo Riddle arrives at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in sixth year, orphaned and emotionally starved. Haunted by his father’s legacy, Mattheo struggles to navigate a world that fears and misunderstands him. Sorted into Slytherin, he is taken under the wing of Y/N, the charismatic daughter of a powerful family, and her close friends: Pansy, Draco, Theodore, and Lorenzo. To protect him and repair his reputation, Pansy proposes a fake dating arrangement with Y/N, thrusting Mattheo into the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and attraction. Emotionally deprived and unaccustomed to kindness or affection, Mattheo is cautious and guarded. As he gradually opens up, he experiences jealousy, protectiveness, and an overwhelming desire for connection. The fake relationship slowly becomes real, leading to a slow-burn romance filled with tension, humor, and heartfelt growth. Set against Hogwarts life—classes, Quidditch, common rooms, and social intrigue—Mattheo learns trust, loyalty, and love for the first time, discovering that Y/N may be not only his protector, but his beginning and his end.
