every summer belonged to theodore nott. hogwarts belongs to draco malfoy. and somewhere between old promises, dangerous secrets, and the life she never expected to live in britain, y/n has to decide whether first love is worth fighting for, or finally letting go. inspired by @raebitten’s “i miss you, i’m nott sorry’
everyone knows satoru gojo. fraternity president. campus celebrity. serial flirt. the guy who somehow turns every party into a story worth telling. everyone knows you, too. not because you’re trying to stand out, but because wherever gojo is, you’re usually right beside him. best friends since childhood, you’ve spent your entire lives attached at the hip. you steal his hoodies, he steals your food, you flirt constantly, and neither of you thinks twice about crashing in the other’s room after a night out. while gojo keeps his love life casual and you have your own, your friendship has always been the one thing neither of you has ever questioned. everyone else, however, has. because to the rest of campus, the lingering touches, effortless chemistry, and constant teasing look a lot less like friendship… and a lot more like two idiots refusing to admit they’re in love. they’re wrong. …right?
four ilvermorny students trade america for hogwarts for their final year, only to find themselves sharing the slytherin dungeons and navigating a completely different magical world. between new friendships, parties, rivalries, hookups, quidditch, culture clashes, and plenty of bad decisions, nine months abroad might change a lot more than they expected.
a mysterious eighteen-year-old transfer from ilvermorny arrives at hogwarts for seventh year and is quickly sorted into slytherin. she’s intelligent, intimidating, impossible to read—and hiding one hell of a secret. she’s a vampire. feeding from strangers and erasing their memories has kept her identity hidden for years. she doesn’t feel guilty about what she is, and she certainly doesn’t get attached to the people she feeds from. then the slytherins get involved. what begins as curiosity slowly becomes friendship, attraction, suspicion, and something dangerously close to belonging. the closer they get, the harder her secret becomes to keep—and for the first time, walking away might actually hurt.
when a reckless dare sends mattheo riddle into the black lake, a shy mermaid saves him and disappears before he can learn her name. he returns the next afternoon with a blueberry muffin and a thank-you. soon, his visits become a habit—and his friends start wondering who he keeps meeting by the water.
when eight slytherins trade hogwarts for a year at ilvermorny, y/n is assigned to help them survive america. she’s supposed to show them around and help them adjust—not become their favorite person. between culture shock, parties, new friendships, hookups, jealousy, and terrible decisions, one year abroad gets complicated fast.
y/n has always been the sweetest person in the slytherin friend group, and everyone adores her for it. when pansy and the girls realize the boys will do nearly anything she asks, they can’t help testing their theory. y/n thinks they’re exaggerating. the boys think they’re behaving perfectly normally.
a childhood friendship, a royal engagement, and one final year at hogwarts. y/n has always belonged to a future carefully planned for her—including a marriage to prince dominic “nico” valenti. but after transferring to hogwarts and reuniting with theodore nott, her childhood best friend from summers in italy, the life she’s always accepted suddenly feels much less certain. especially when theo realizes his best friend was never supposed to be his.
mattheo riddle has been keeping a secret since first year: the mermaid he visits beneath the willows of the black lake. seven years of shared pastries, quiet conversations, and growing up together have gone unnoticed—until his friends follow him and discover just who he’s been sneaking away to see.
y/n and mattheo riddle have been together for years, and somehow they still get butterflies around each other. a cozy hogsmeade date, a walk home in the rain, and two people who never stopped having a crush on each other.
you have always believed you are better off alone—until theodore nott becomes the one person you cannot stop thinking about. while theo quietly accepts that he loves you, you continue denying your feelings, terrified of needing someone that deeply. but when you push him away and he finally stops waiting, you must decide whether protecting your heart is worth losing the rarest connection you have ever found.
