The most desired and intimidating girl at Hogwarts can get any boy she wants—except Theodore Nott, the older Slytherin who seems completely unaffected by her charms. Determined to win over the one boy who won’t fall for her, she finds herself drawn deeper into his world, even as her friends question why he’s the one she can’t let go of.
Theodore dares you to drink a shot of firewhisky straight from Draco Malfoy’s mouth. The room erupts, Draco is horrified, and everyone realises this unity night is about to get far more intense than anyone planned.
No matter what we once were, or what we still felt, I would always be the girl Draco Malfoy loved second. And that was the night I realized… you can mean everything to someone and still not be their choice.
Bored one afternoon, me, Daphne, and Pansy try a muggle trend for fun—taking pregnancy tests. But when one comes back positive, none of us know whose it is, and everything changes.
After Slytherin loses to Gryffindor, Draco comes back to the common room furious. When he locks eyes with you, it’s clear he plans to take out his anger the same way he always does — by seeking you out for physical relief. You and Draco have a secret arrangement: intense, private encounters whenever he needs an outlet, with no romance involved, just a dangerous cycle of desire and convenience.
In a Slytherin friend group full of couples, only Theo Nott and I remain single. While everyone else is busy being romantic, Theo and I cope by making fun of their cheesy moments—loudly, dramatically, and together. But as we keep joking, third-wheeling, and pretending we don’t care about love, the truth becomes harder to ignore: being the last two without someone is starting to feel lonelier than we admit… and maybe that loneliness is what draws us closer.
After summer break, I return to Hogwarts for seventh year completely changed—physically fragile, emotionally distant, and hiding habits and secrets I won’t talk about. My friends immediately notice I’m not the girl I used to be, but every time they try to reach me, I shut them out. As they grow more worried, I slip further into the version of myself I became over the summer… one they don’t recognize and I can’t explain.
You and Draco are caught in a toxic situationship — constant fights, intense make-ups, and feelings neither of you will admit. When Draco disappears or pulls away, it’s always Blaise who’s there to pick up the pieces, offering the steadiness Draco never can.
