No one knows what really happened. Before Y/N Vale even steps foot into Hogwarts, the rumors have already spread through every corridor of the castle. Some say she was expelled from her previous school. Others claim she cast one of the Unforgivable Curses. The Ministry sealed the records, leaving nothing but whispers and speculation behind. The truth? No one knows. Least of all the students waiting to meet the harmless-looking girl with warm hazel eyes and an innocent smile. But Y/N carries secrets far older than the rumors surrounding her. She sees traces of ancient magic—a forgotten force that most witches and wizards believe exists only in myths. As strange disturbances begin to ripple through Hogwarts, she finds herself forced into an uneasy alliance with a group of Slytherins she’d rather avoid: Mattheo Riddle, Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Lorenzo Berkshire, Pansy Parkinson, Astoria Greengrass, and Daphne Greengrass. Together, they’ll uncover secrets buried beneath the castle, question everything they thought they knew about magic, and realize that some legends were never meant to stay forgotten. Because sometimes… The greatest danger isn’t the person everyone fears. It’s the truth they’re hiding.
