Most witches and wizards spend seven years at Hogwarts. Emilia Snape has spent eighteen years there. As the daughter of Professor Severus Snape, Hogwarts has always been her home. She was never sorted into a house, never attended classes as a student and never had a common room to call her own. Instead, she grew up within the castle walls, living in private rooms beside her father’s office after her mother left when she was just a baby. Despite carrying one of the most recognised surnames in the wizarding world, Emilia is nothing like the rumours. Kind, loyal and impossible to dislike, she’s built friendships across all four houses, proving that loyalty isn’t defined by the colour of your tie. Trusted by Professor Dumbledore, Emilia oversees the prefect patrol rotas and runs a small mixed-house club where friendships are formed beyond house rivalries. Alongside her closest friends from Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, she spends her days bringing students together while trying to keep her mischievous younger brother, Nathan, out of trouble. And then there’s Mattheo Riddle. Confident, sarcastic and endlessly devoted, he’s the one person who can always make Emilia forget about her responsibilities, even if it means earning another disapproving look from Professor Snape. In a castle divided by four houses, Emilia belongs to none of them. Yet somehow… She belongs everywhere.
