Everyone at Hogwarts knows Mattheo Riddle is the last person you should get involved with. Cold. Arrogant. Untouchable. So when we become enemies, I don’t think twice about it. We clash in class, argue in the corridors, and compete every chance we get. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just another arrogant Slytherin who can’t stand being challenged. What I don’t realise is that somewhere between our arguments and stolen glances, he starts falling first. I never notice the way his eyes follow me across the Great Hall, the way he steps in before anyone can hurt me, or how his friends tease him whenever I’m around. While I’m determined to keep him at arm’s length, Mattheo finds himself breaking every rule he’s ever lived by to protect the one person who can’t stand him. With dark secrets resurfacing at Hogwarts and danger closing in, the line between enemies and something more begins to blur. They say the first person to fall loses. Mattheo Riddle never expected that person to be him.
Everyone warned me about Mattheo Riddle. They said he was dangerous. Cold. The kind of person you stayed away from if you valued your peace. I believed them. Until I was forced to work with him. The more time we spent together, the more the rumours began to unravel. Beneath the sharp remarks, the guarded smiles, and the infamous surname was a boy carrying secrets darker than Hogwarts itself. But falling for Mattheo Riddle comes with a price. At Hogwarts, not every story has a happy ending—and some hearts are just as dangerous as dark magic.
Everyone warned Y/N to stay away from the Slytherins. They were dangerous. Cold. The kind of people you never expected to care. But nobody warned her about the person she was supposed to trust. Jake was the Gryffindor everyone admired—the perfect boyfriend with the perfect smile. Yet behind closed doors, Y/N discovers that not every love story is what it seems. When the Slytherins find her broken and alone, the people she was taught to fear become the ones who stand beside her. Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Theodore, and especially Mattheo Riddle begin to show her that she is more than what happened to her. As secrets unfold and old wounds begin to heal, Mattheo finds himself becoming fiercely protective of the one person who saw past his darkness. But Hogwarts holds more secrets than anyone knows… And sometimes, the person everyone calls a monster is the one who saves you.
