After the war, Hogwarts reopens for an eighth and final year, because apparently surviving a magical war is not enough to get anyone out of finishing their education.

The Ministry gets its symbol of unity, Dumbledore gets to keep everyone exactly where he wants them, and the wizarding public gets a new favorite obsession. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Harry and Y/N are actual people with opinions, and this whole arrangement could either help rebuild the wizarding world⌠Or go horribly, horribly wrong!
Y/N thought dating Lorenzo Berkshire meant safety and perfection. Then Mattheo Riddle appeared â dark, reckless, and impossible to ignore. As tensions rise at Hogwarts, Y/N must choose between comfort and chaos⌠and discover that falling for the wrong boy might be exactly what she needs.
