After the Upside Down is finally over, the Hawkins kids return to something that looks like “normal” — but nothing feels normal anymore. Now seniors, they cope by living loudly: sneaking out, drinking on roofs, trauma-bonding at parties, and filling their chaotic group chat, The Party Is Still Standing, with jokes, confessions, and secrets. Y/N has always been at the heart of the group — Mike’s lifelong best friend, the one everyone trusts, and the emotional anchor who quietly holds everyone to
Liv Henderson has always been part of the Party — but she has never been just Dustin’s twin. They are all seniors now, so they can drive. They smoke and drink as well.
Ninth Year at Hogwarts is basically college—parties, Firewhisky, cigarettes, hookups, and terrible decisions. Liv Potter, whose been hooking up with Ron Weasley since 5th year, plans on having the time of her life, preferably while avoiding Fred Weasley, the boy she’s hated for years. But one drunken mistake turns their rivalry into a secret, messy relationship neither will admit means anything. Between jealousy, betrayal, and feelings they refuse to acknowledge, things are already falling apart when a student suddenly disappears—and Liv realizes someone at Hogwarts has been watching her all along.
Y/N Potter, Harry’s older sister, has recently graduated from Hogwarts and is attempting to figure out adulthood. She lives alone in a small London flat, spends most of her time searching for a job, and is determined to make a life for herself outside of being known as Harry Potter’s sister.
Liv Henderson and Steve Harrington are seniors in Hawkins, and everyone knows they’re together. Steve waits by Liv’s locker, gives her his jacket, and even Dustin never stops complaining about how “gross” they are — so their relationship is anything but secret. But when night falls, their world becomes quiet and private. Almost every night, Steve sneaks through Liv’s bedroom window, not to hide, but because those late-night hours belong only to them. Curled up together, they talk about graduati
Three Hogwarts graduates trying (and mostly failing) to act like adults. Liv, Harry’s older sister is back home while Fred and George are running their joke shop, but distance hasn’t made them any less chaotic. Expect endless banter, terrible ideas, prank updates, family gossip, late-night nonsense, and the occasional genuine heart-to-heart. Enter at your own risk. Mischief guaranteed.
For weeks, Fred has watched Liv get closer to other people. Harry walks her to class. Ron always seems to end up sitting beside her at meals. Draco somehow keeps finding excuses to argue with her. Theo and Blaise have started lingering after shared lessons. Even George has been spending more time with her lately, and everyone constantly jokes that Liv has a “roster.”
Liv, who is dating George, accidentally sends Fred a provocative photo meant for his twin. Fred deletes it but admits it messed with his head because he liked what he saw. What starts as an embarrassing mistake creates a new tension between two longtime friends, as Fred realizes he may have been attracted to Liv for longer than he thought—and Liv realizes she doesn’t completely hate knowing that.
Harry Potter has a twin sister, Y/N Potter. Unlike her brother, she was sorted into Slytherin—something that surprised almost everyone. Despite this, she’s always stayed close with Harry and his Gryffindor friends, easily moving between both groups without fully belonging to just one.
