Life goes on with or without you

The depth of Riddles

At Hogwarts, some secrets are buried in the restricted section, but the most dangerous one breathes beneath the surface of the Black Lake. Mattheo Riddle, the brooding heir to a legacy of darkness, is a boy who has never known peace. Haunted by his father’s shadow and a mind that won't stop screaming, he spends his nights on the water’s edge, waiting for the world to finally claim him. He expects the cold; he expects the silence. He doesn't expect her. Born of ancient magic and predatory grace, [Y/N] is a siren who has watched the surface for a century. She knows the taste of fear and the melody of death, but in Mattheo, she finds a soul that mirrors the crushing weight of her own abyss. What starts as a lethal game of predator and prey quickly spirals into a forbidden obsession. As Mattheo is pulled deeper into her world of haunting songs and silver moonlight, he must decide if he is willing to drown for the only creature who truly sees him. In a castle filled with magic, the most powerful force of all might just be the one that drags you under.

Lillies for a ghost

What begins as a quiet class partnership soon grows into something deeper—when Mattheo and Y/N are paired for a school project, they discover a connection neither expected, and before long, they are dating. But when a new assignment partners Mattheo with another classmate, his focus shifts without him fully realizing it. Gradually, he pulls away, leaving Y/N feeling unseen and isolated, even as she struggles silently with her own inner battles. Tragedy strikes, and Mattheo is left reeling, overcome with regret and the heavy realization of what he lost. In the years that follow, he visits her resting place often, always bringing white lilies—her favorite flower. He finds comfort in sending messages to her old phone number, speaking to her as if she can still hear, a quiet way to process his grief. Time passes, and eventually, Mattheo finds the strength to love again. When he and his partner welcome a daughter, he names her Lillie—a gentle tribute to the girl who shaped his heart, a promise to remember without letting grief stop him from living.

Bound by bitter blood

Y/N has always known where the lines are drawn. As an unwavering ally to the Order of the Phoenix, survival at Hogwarts means keeping your head down and your secrets guarded. But when a Ministry mandate binds advanced students into year-long academic partnerships, Y/N is paired with the one person capable of tearing those secrets to shreds: Mattheo Riddle.Brilliant, volatile, and carrying the ruthless legacy of the Dark Lord in his veins, Mattheo doesn't just dislike Y/N—he utterly despises them. To him, Y/N is a self-righteous obstacle, a threat to his family’s hidden agendas, and a fragile thing begging to be broken. What begins as cold schoolyard warfare quickly escalates into a psychological chess match of cruel sabotages, cutting remarks, and late-night confrontations in the dark corners of the dungeons.But when a rogue Death Eater plot traps them together in a forgotten, warded chamber beneath the castle, the rules change. Cut off from the world, the thin veneer of hatred begins to fracture. Trapped in a suffocatingly small space, Mattheo is forced to face a reality he never anticipated: Y/N is the only person alive who refuses to fear him.As the slow burn turns agonizing, the line between mutual destruction and terrifying obsession completely blurs. Mattheo realizes that the only thing more exhilarating than trying to ruin Y/N... is realizing they are the only one dark enough to match him.

The terrace of lost vows

Naia dreamed of marrying Mattheo beneath Castle de Amore’s fairy lights, on the rose-lined terrace overlooking the lake — until he left her there, on their anniversary, and walked away before their life together had even begun. Weeks later, she loses her job at the village café. Desperate for work, she takes a position at the very place her heart was shattered: catering staff at Castle de Amore. Now she arranges flowers, lays linen, and serves champagne to happy couples every weekend — forced to watch strangers pledge forever in the spot where her own future ended. Then the booking arrives. Mattheo is coming back. He has booked the castle to marry his new fiancée, Astoria — on the same date, in the same season, on the very terrace where he broke Naia’s heart. And because she is on the catering team, Naia must serve their wedding. She will prepare their feast, pour their drinks, and stand feet away — smiling — as he promises forever to someone else, in the place he once said belonged to them. Astoria is kind, graceful, and entirely unaware of the history she is stepping into. Mattheo is quiet, guilt-ridden, and slowly realising he may have traded his true love for safety. And Naia? She must choose between running away and never looking back… or staying, holding her head high, and proving that even the most beautiful castles cannot hold a heart that has learned to heal.
