Y/N is the boy everyone at Hogwarts thinks they understand. Charming, reckless, and constantly surrounded by girls, he has built a reputation for never taking anyone seriously. He flirts, disappears, moves on, and lets people believe he simply doesn’t care. What nobody sees is the life he goes home to. With his mother gone and an abusive father waiting for him during every holiday, Y/N has learned to survive by becoming whatever people want him to be. Attention from girls is easy. It makes him feel wanted, even if only for a moment. Then his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor starts noticing the things everyone else misses. The injuries Y/N jokes about. The way he avoids going home. The dueling talent he keeps hidden. The silence underneath all that confidence. For the first time, someone cares about Y/N without wanting anything from him. And that may be the one thing he has no idea how to handle. Y/N is a Gryffindor.
