at hogwarts, y/n is just trying to survive her first year—make friends, find her classes, and stay out of the endless, complicated drama she doesn’t quite understand yet. unfortunately, she’s already at the center of it. draco malfoy has everything in his life planned out—including his future with astoria greengrass—until his mother decides otherwise and chooses someone new for him. y/n. the problem? draco refuses to accept it. astoria refuses to lose. and y/n wants absolutely nothing to do with any of it—especially not him. but between crowded hallways, shared classes, jealous glances, and too many almost-moments, avoiding each other becomes impossible. and the more y/n pushes him away— the harder draco starts to hold on.
