Everyone at Hogwarts knows Y/N. The sweet girl. The kind one. The girl who remembers your name, helps the first-years and somehow manages to find the good in everyone. Everyone knows Mattheo Riddle, too. The troublemaker. The flirt. The boy with the sharp tongue, darker reputation and a talent for getting into trouble. They couldn’t be more different. She is warmth. He is chaos. She believes people are more than their reputation. He doesn’t believe anyone could ever see past his. So naturally, they can’t stand each other. At first. Between stolen books, sarcastic remarks, accidental late-night conversations and far too many arguments, something neither of them expected begins to grow. Because beneath Mattheo’s arrogance is a boy desperately trying not to be vulnerable. And beneath Y/N’s sweetness is a girl who refuses to be underestimated. Maybe she isn’t meant to save him. Maybe he doesn’t need saving. Maybe all they needed was someone who could finally see them for who they really are. She was the light everyone saw. He was the darkness everyone feared. And somehow… the darkness found its way to the light.
