After transferring from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts, you almost miss the Hogwarts Express and can’t find a seat anywhere. A group of Slytherins unexpectedly invites you into their compartment.
Theodore Nott and you can’t stand each other at first—constant sarcasm, tension, and sharp comebacks. When you’re forced into late-night detention together, the arguments slowly turn into real conversations, and you start seeing sides of him no one else does. Just as things begin to feel real, he suddenly shuts you out—leaving you to wonder if it meant nothing, or if he’s just too afraid to let you in.
At a Slytherin party, you and Theodore Nott get so drunk that the constant arguing between you somehow turns into spending the night together. The next morning, neither of you talks about what happened—except Theodore suddenly becomes cold, distant, and almost cruel, acting like he barely remembers any of it. You convince yourself he regrets you. But the truth is worse: Theodore remembers everything. He’s only pushing you away because the night meant far too much to him.
At a Slytherin dorm party, the room is full of music, firewhisky, and bad decisions when someone suggests playing Seven Minutes in Heaven. What starts as a joke quickly turns messy—hidden crushes, jealousy, and tension everyone pretends not to notice. When Theodore Nott ends up locked in a room with you, neither of you expects the seven minutes to change the way you look at each other for the rest of the night.
After getting caught outside the castle after curfew, your entire friend group is forced into weeks of detention together. What starts as annoying quickly turns into late-night chaos, confessions, jealousy, unexpected friendships, and relationships nobody saw coming. Somewhere along the way, the detentions stop feeling like punishment and start becoming the best part of everyone’s day.
At Hogwarts, you’re used to being bullied and ignored by everyone around you. One day, when Draco Malfoy mocks you in front of everyone, Mattheo Riddle unexpectedly tells him to stop. A few days later, after someone deliberately steps on your hand when you drop your books, Mattheo sees it happen and completely loses his temper defending you. After that, he slowly becomes your safe place—always beside you when nobody else is. And somewhere along the way, the two of you fall in love.
Your friends bet Mattheo Riddle to take you on a date because everyone thinks you hate each other too much for it to work. The only problem is that you have absolutely no idea it’s all just a bet to him. Somehow, what starts as a joke and a fake date turns into the best night either of you has had in months—and Mattheo slowly realizes he never meant for any of it to become real.
Your friend group starts secretly using an abandoned classroom for late-night parties and drinking, until strange messages begin appearing on the walls—messages exposing secrets nobody else should know. As the writings become more personal and cruel, paranoia slowly destroys the group from the inside.
