In the middle of the wizarding war, the Dark Lord summons his deadliest young Death Eaters for a mission that could shift the balance of everything. Y/N abd Mattheo Riddle hadn’t stood in the same room together since their Hogwarts days, back when they were friends, reckless, arrogant, and untouched by war.
The party's hitting its peak in the Slytherin common room—the usual crew: Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Lorenzo Berkshire, Astoria Greengrass, Daphne Greengrass, Blaise Zabini, Mattheo Riddle, Theodore Nott, and Y/N—all crammed onto the massive central sofa. Everyone's pretty wasted by now, tongues loose as hell.
Hogwarts has descended into its darkest era. Dumbledore was murdered, the school’s now ruled by Snape, and the once-safe castle walls hide fear, violence, and secrets. Harry Potter with Ron and Hermione have had disappeared after Dumbledores death. The rumours says they’re on the mission along with The Order to kill The Dark Lord.
Last year, Y/N was cheated on and forgotten. This year, she’s confident, lethal, and impossible to ignore. Everyone notices, especially Draco Malfoy.
It started off as a joke. A harmless, teasing kind of thing. A smirk, a challenge, a whispered “scared, are you?” before Draco’s lips brushed against yours. It wasn’t supposed to mean anything.
