The ancient stone corridors of Hogwarts felt like a beautiful indie film whenever Y/n walked through them. She was a bubbly, warm Hufflepuff made of pure sunshine, gentle daydreams, and a quiet, poetic whimsy. Everyone loved her, finding comfort in her bright presence as she spent her days reading old paperbacks, painting, and being effortlessly smart. As a core member of the Golden Trio and Hermione Granger’s best friend, her life was beautifully simple.Until Pansy Parkinson slowly became a part of her daily routine.If Y/n was a soft, sunny melody, Pansy was the dark, heavy distortion of a Deftones track. Pansy was all sharp edges, dark Slytherin robes, and a serious, cold quietness. She fiercely viewed the brilliant Hufflepuff as her ultimate academic rival, constantly trying to beat her top grades. Y/n never even realized it was a competition. Yet, as Pansy kept appearing in the corners of her vision, a sudden, breathless confusion about her own feelings and sexuality began to cloud Y/n's mind.When Pansy accidentally let it slip to Theodore Nott that her eyes kept following Y/n, Theo immediately decided to play Cupid. In a twist of pure teenage chaos, Theo teamed up with Hermione. Even though the chaotic Slytherin and the protective Gryffindor best friend absolutely detested each other, they formed a secret, bickering alliance. Acting as the ultimate wingmen, Theo and Hermione began pulling the strings behind the scenes, determined to push the stern Slytherin and the bubbly Hufflepuff directly into each other's orbits.
