She came to Hogwarts to escape her past. He had no intention of becoming part of her future. After years of emotional manipulation and abuse from a former boyfriend at Durmstrang, Y/N is transferred to Hogwarts by her father, desperate to give his daughter a chance to start over. But Y/N isn’t looking for a fresh start. She’s looking for somewhere no one can find her, hurt her, or get close enough to see how broken she really is. Guarded, sharp-tongued, and determined to trust no one—especially boys—she makes one promise: no attachments. Then Mattheo Riddle sees her. The brooding, ruthless heir has never believed in love. Girls are temporary, relationships are pointless, and feelings are a weakness he’s never been interested in. But the moment his eyes meet Y/N’s emerald ones across the Great Hall, something changes. Suddenly, the girl who wants nothing to do with him is the only person he can think about. He wants to know her. He wants to break through her walls. And, despite every warning she gives him, he refuses to walk away. But Y/N isn’t some challenge for Mattheo to conquer. She’s a girl fighting to put herself back together. The closer he gets, the more he discovers the scars beneath her armor—and the more protective he becomes. What starts as an obsession slowly turns into something neither of them expected. But falling for Y/N means Mattheo will have to learn that she can’t be possessed, controlled, or fixed. She has to choose him. And trusting Mattheo means Y/N must confront the one thing she’s spent years avoiding: the possibility that not every kind of love ends in pain. He was supposed to be the boy she avoided. Instead, he becomes the boy who makes her want to stay. But when the past she escaped comes knocking on Hogwarts’ doors, Y/N will have to decide whether she can finally stop running—and whether Mattheo Riddle is worth risking her heart for. Because some people don’t just break your walls. They become the reason you built them in the first place
