Transferred to Durmstrang Institute, you arrive as a prodigy from an old dark magical lineage, skilled in combat and advanced magical theory. Durmstrang doesn’t sort students—it evaluates them, and you are flagged as an anomaly it can’t classify. In a school where duels define hierarchy and restraint is power, you draw attention you didn’t ask for—especially from Viktor Krum, whose quiet presence begins to shift the rules of where you belong.
No one at Hogwarts is given the full story of your transfer. Expelled from Durmstrang mid-year for reasons no official record will explain, you arrive carrying a name tied to dangerous magical history and sealed Ministry files. Your family is known for dark experimentation and unstable magical inheritance, though nothing is ever proven. Within days, rumours spread of memory manipulation, cursed fire, and incidents no one can verify. Mattheo Riddle is the first to speak to you. Draco Malfoy is the first to realize something is wrong.
