The Lakes • M.R

Some secrets were never meant to be found. y/n had been part of the Slytherin Elite since first year. She was one of them. Until, almost two years ago, she disappeared without an explanation. Now she’s back. But while the others see the same girl they grew up with, y/n knows she’s carrying something far more dangerous than the secrets she left Hogwarts with. An ancient symbol is appearing throughout the castle. Forgotten records are beginning to surface. Eight bloodlines are connected to a pact that was erased from wizarding history—and one of those bloodlines was never supposed to survive. y/n is the last piece of it. And somewhere beneath Hogwarts, something ancient is beginning to wake. The worst part? Someone has been guiding her toward it the entire time. Someone who knew exactly who she was. Someone who wanted her to disappear. Someone who knew she would eventually come back. And Mattheo Riddle has spent almost two years wondering why the girl he trusted most chose to leave without saying goodbye. Now she’s standing in front of him again. But this time, she’s brought the truth with her. And the deeper they dig, the more they realise— y/n was never running from the secret. She was being prepared to unlock it.
