Ten years after the war, Draco Malfoy, Theo Nott, and Mattheo Riddle live together in a sleek wizarding penthouse overlooking London—haunted by their past, bound by their secrets, and desperately trying to raise little Scorpius without completely traumatizing him. They’re brilliant, dangerous, and utterly incapable of functioning like normal people: Draco is too lenient, Theo too detached, and Mattheo thinks feeding a child chocolate frogs for breakfast is good enough parenting.
Now a newly appointed Ministry of Magic Department of Magical Records official with ink-stained fingers and a reputation for doing things by the book, Y/N is very aware of three immutable facts: 1. Office romances are a terrible idea. 2. Draco Malfoy is a walking violation of several Ministry policies. And he is an Auror. 3. Falling for her twin brother’s best friend would be catastrophic.
Mattheo Riddle sits in a cell in Azkaban, imprisoned not for a crime—but for his blood. The wizarding world believes the Dark Lord’s son will eventually follow in his father’s footsteps, so the Ministry locked him away before he could prove them right. You’re the only person who still visits him… and the only one who might be able to change his fate.
Eighth year at Hogwarts was supposed to be calm after the war… until the school introduced SpellBook™, a magical “therapy” app meant to help students manage their emotions. Unfortunately, the app is convinced you and Mattheo Riddle are soulmates. Now it won’t stop sending notifications about your “romantic tension,” suggesting forced proximity, and interrupting your day with wildly inaccurate relationship advice.
Slytherin eighth year was supposed to be quiet. It isn’t. You just wanted to survive Hogwarts, pass your NEWTs, and maybe sleep once in a while. Instead, you’re trapped in a chaotic common room with Draco dueling plants, Theo blowing things up “for science,” Blaise turning bets into a business, Pansy running everyone’s lives, and—worst of all—Mattheo Riddle, who seems determined to annoy you… and maybe steal your heart.
