Three years. That was how long Y/N had loved Theodore Nott. Three years of whispered promises, stolen moments, and believing that she was the person he would always choose. Until she wasn't. Somewhere along the way, Theo's attention shifted to Astoria, Daphne, and Pansy, leaving Y/N feeling more like a forgotten memory than his girlfriend. What once felt unbreakable slowly begins to fall apart, until there is nothing left for Y/N to do but walk away. But someone has been watching all along. Draco Malfoy has loved Y/N since third year—quietly, secretly, and from a distance. She's always been Theo's girl, and Theo has always been his best friend. Until she's not. As Y/N begins to move on, Draco finds himself closer to finally having the one thing he's spent years convincing himself he could never have. And Theo? Theo finally starts to notice. But sometimes, you don't realize what you had until someone else is holding it. And by then, it might already be too late.
