The sequel to The House We Built. They swore loyalty would be enough. But when the storm came, even the strongest house began to crack. Now silence sits where laughter used to live - and what was once unbreakable will never be the same again.

In a world that fears snakes before it ever learns their names, Celine Auclair has built a family out of loyalty and silence. The granddaughter of one of the oldest pureblood lines, she was raised to be perfect, obedient-and untouchable. But at Hogwarts, she finds something far more dangerous than expectation: love, friendship, and the kind of loyalty that binds tighter than blood. Within the stone walls of Slytherin, Celine and her five boys-Draco, Theo, Blaise, Enzo, and Matty-rule their house with quiet power and unspoken devotion. The world calls them cold. The world is wrong. Together, they are the heartbeat of the serpent, unbreakable and unseen. As darkness gathers beyond the castle and whispers of war begin to stir, Celine must decide what she's willing to risk to protect the only family she's ever truly known. Because when the world divides heroes from villains, she knows exactly where she stands. They aren't monsters. They're the house she built Tiktok - The_house_we_built
