They have known of each other for years. Well… not really. Y/N knows who Matteo Riddle is. Matteo knows Y/N exists. They are both Slytherins, but their paths have never truly crossed. Until that summer. An accidental encounter. A few seconds. A simple apology. And a scent. Matteo doesn’t know her name. He knows nothing about her, yet something about that encounter stays in his mind. A few weeks later, at Hogwarts, he smells that same perfume again. This time, the mysterious girl from the summer is standing right in front of him. Y/N. And while she barely pays any attention to him, Matteo slowly begins to wonder why he can’t seem to ignore her anymore. Between stolen glances, friendships, jealousy, secrets, and feelings that take time to grow, a story neither of them expected begins to unfold. Because sometimes, you can forget a face… But you don’t always forget a scent.
