Y/N has spent four years at Hogwarts being everyone's favourite joke. The awkward Ravenclaw with oversized glasses, unruly ginger hair, second-hand robes and absolutely no friends. So when Draco Malfoy, Hogwarts' arrogant Slytherin prince, suddenly starts paying her attention, she can hardly believe it. He defends her. Compliments her. Makes her feel beautiful. And when he asks her to the Yule Ball? She thinks she's finally living her own fairytale. Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy doesn't believe in fairytales. He believes in winning. Two hundred Galleons. One cruel bet. One very public humiliation. When the truth is revealed at the Yule Ball, Y/N discovers that every stolen glance, every whispered compliment and every promise was nothing more than a carefully rehearsed lie. But while Draco and his friends were busy laughing, someone else was watching. Neville Longbottom. The shy Gryffindor boy who knows exactly what it feels like to be overlooked. And unlike Draco, Neville doesn't need a bet to notice how beautiful she is. Now Y/N must learn to trust again, Neville must find the courage to tell her how he feels, and Draco must live with the consequences of the cruellest joke he's ever played. Because to Draco Malfoy, she was worth two hundred Galleons. To Neville Longbottom, she was priceless.
