Three schools. Four champions. One witch who was never meant to be chosen. Y/N Hawthorne has spent her life mastering magic others only dream of creating. But when Wysteria School of Witchcraft enters the Triwizard Tournament, the Goblet chooses her as its champion—alongside Cedric Diggory, Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour, and Harry Potter. Dragons. Dark waters. A deadly maze. As Y/N fights for victory, she discovers the tournament is hiding something far more dangerous than any task. And somewhere between late-night studying, unexpected friendships, and Hogwarts' most intriguing Slytherin, she may find something she never planned for: a reason to stay. 🖤🐍
At Hogwarts, everyone knew the Gaunt twins. They just didn’t know them. **Adrian and Y/N Gaunt**, fourth-year Slytherins, were brilliant enough to make professors uneasy and powerful enough to make older students whisper. Their magic came naturally—charms, curses, potions, transfiguration. Where other students practiced for hours, the twins seemed to understand magic instinctively. People, however, were another matter entirely. Adrian could dismantle a complicated spell in seconds but could barely hold a conversation without retreating behind a cold stare. Y/N was no better. She could read ancient runes by candlelight and cast nonverbal magic without a wand but had absolutely no idea what to say when someone asked how her day was. The twins had their own world. And everyone else was simply outside it. They sat together at meals. Walked together between classes. Studied together in the library. Even their silences seemed like conversations only they understood. Until a handful of Slytherin heirs decided they were tired of watching from the sidelines. Cassian Vale was the first to make the attempt. “You know,” he said one evening, dropping into the seat across from them in the common room, “most people don't bite.” Y/N slowly looked up from her book. “Most people aren't worth biting.” Adrian's mouth twitched. Cassian grinned. “See? Progress.” Soon, the others joined him—children of old magical families, each carrying their own reputation, expectations, and secrets. They weren't interested in the Gaunts' family name or their frightening talent. They were interested in the two people hiding underneath it. What begins as a challenge quickly becomes something none of them expected. Because breaking the Gaunt twins' bubble isn't about forcing them into friendship. It's about earning the right to enter it. And the deeper the heirs get, the more they realize the twins aren't hiding from Hogwarts. They're hiding something from it.
