VI

Scorpius Malfoy, Atlas Nott, Cassian Riddle, Tyrone Zabini, and Y/N have been inseparable since childhood. Raised in powerful pure-blood families, they grew up expected to be perfect—cold, intelligent, and untouchable. To the outside world, they are exactly that: the “Snakes,” a feared and elite group at Hogwarts who move as one and trust no one outside themselves. But behind closed doors, their loyalty becomes something far more complicated. What started as friendship has slowly blurred into something none of them can fully control. Feelings they were never meant to have begin to surface, and when love becomes shared instead of chosen, the rules they live by start to break. Because for them, it was never going to be simple. And in the end, it will be all of them… or nothing at all.
