She was born in silence.
Raised in shadows.
Bound by a name the world could never know.
Arabelle Riddle had live her whole life behind a mask- an ordinary Hogwarts student on the surface, but carrying a secret that could tear the wizarding world apart if it ever slipped free. No one knows the truth of her bloodline, and no one can ever know.
She tells herself she doesn't need anyone. That loneliness is safer than love, it's better than betrayal. But when her carefully built walls began to crack, and when a boy and his own buried scars drift into her orbit, Arabelle is forced to face the truth she's never dared to imagine.
Because even in the darkest shadows, the heart still longs for light.
