She was only meant to stay temporarily. A Gryffindor misplaced in Slytherin territory, counting down the days until the dorms were fixed and she could go back to where she belonged. At first, she’s just a guest. Then she’s tolerated. Then she’s invited. Somewhere between late nights in the common room, reckless parties, and quiet moments that linger too long, she stops feeling like an outsider — and starts feeling like one of them. The problem? Temporary ends. And not everyone is ready.
