Slytherin Boys x Y/N Short Stories/Reacts

The Black Book - Lorenzo Berkshire

Y/N stood at the entrance of Hogwarts, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness. As a new student, she was eager to explore the castle and make new friends. The Sorting Hat had placed her in Slytherin, and as she made her way to the common room, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

It was there that she first met Lorenzo Berkshire. He was tall, with striking features and a charming smile that seemed to light up the room. Lorenzo was known for his kindness and helpful nature, always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.

"Hi there," he said, approaching her with an easy confidence. "You must be Y/N. I'm Lorenzo. Welcome to Slytherin."

She smiled, feeling her nerves ease slightly. "Thanks, Lorenzo. It's nice to meet you."

Over the next few weeks, Lorenzo became a constant presence in her life. He showed her around the castle, helped her with her studies, and made her laugh with his witty jokes. He was always there for her, whether she needed a friend to talk to or someone to study with. Slowly, she found herself falling for him, captivated by his charm and kindness.

One evening, as they sat by the fire in the common room, Lorenzo took her hand in his. "Y/N, I've really enjoyed getting to know you," he said, his voice soft and sincere. "I think I'm falling for you."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a warmth spread through her. "I feel the same way, Enzo."

They began dating, and for a while, everything seemed perfect. Lorenzo was the perfect boyfriend—attentive, caring, and always there to support her. They spent their days exploring the castle, studying together, and sharing their hopes and dreams. Y/N felt like she had found her soulmate.

But then, things started to change. She began to notice little things that didn't quite add up. Whispers in the hallways, girls giving her strange looks, and Lorenzo's sudden disappearances. She brushed off her doubts, convincing herself that she was just being paranoid.

One day, while Lorenzo was in class, Y/N was in the common room and accidentally knocked over his bag. A small, black book fell out, and curiosity got the better of her. She opened it, only to find a list of names—girls' names—with dates and notes beside each one. Her heart sank as she realized what it was.

Confronting Lorenzo that evening, she held up the book, her hands trembling. "What is this, Enzo?"

His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly tried to take the book from her. "Y/N, it's not what you think."

She pulled away, tears welling up in her eyes. "So, you keep a list of all the girls you've been with? You've been lying to me this whole time?"

Lorenzo looked desperate. "Y/N, please, let me explain. That book is from my past. I was a different person before I met you. I did stupid things, hurt people. But you've changed me. I love you, and I don't want to be that person anymore."

Her heart ached at his words, but the betrayal cut too deep. "How can I trust you, Lorenzo? How do I know you're not still that person?"

He stepped closer, his eyes pleading. "Because you make me want to be better. I swear, Y/N, I've changed. I love you more than anything. Please, don't leave me."

She looked at him, torn between her love for him and the pain of his betrayal. "I need time," she said finally, her voice shaking. "I need to think about this."

For the next few days, Y/N avoided Lorenzo, needing space to process everything. He tried to reach out to her, leaving notes and messages, but she couldn't bring herself to face him. Her friends urged her to move on, telling her that she deserved better, but her heart was still conflicted.

One evening, as she sat by the Black Lake, lost in thought, Lorenzo found her. He looked weary, as if the weight of his past mistakes had finally caught up with him.

"Y/N," he said quietly, sitting down beside her. "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I need you to know how much you mean to me. I've done terrible things, and I regret them every day. But being with you has shown me what it's like to truly care about someone. I don't want to lose you."

She looked at him, seeing the sincerity in his eyes. "Lorenzo, how can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the black book. "I want you to have this," he said, handing it to her. "I'm done with it. My past is behind me, and I want to focus on our future. I love you, Y/N. Please give me another chance."

Tears filled her eyes as she took the book from him. She could see the pain and regret in his expression, and despite everything, she still loved him. "Enzo," she said softly, "I love you too. But this isn't something I can just forget. It's going to take time to rebuild the trust we had."

He nodded, understanding. "I'll do whatever it takes. Just please, don't shut me out."

They sat together in silence, the weight of their past hanging between them. But in that moment, Y/N realized that she was willing to give him another chance. She had seen the good in him, the person he could be, and she wasn't ready to let go of that hope.

"Let's take it one day at a time," she said finally, her voice steady. "We'll figure this out together."

Lorenzo's face lit up with a hopeful smile. "Thank you, Y/N. I won't let you down."

As they walked back to the castle hand in hand, Y/N knew that their journey wouldn't be easy. But with honesty, patience, and love, she believed they could overcome the shadows of Lorenzo's past and build a brighter future together.
