They were everything to each other once - three kids tangled in summer storms, whispered spells, and secrets buried too deep.
Then Belle Nott vanished.
No warning. No trace. Just silence... and the lie that she was dead.
Five years later, she returns to Hogwarts - changed, guarded, and carrying a power even she doesn't understand.
But to Theodore Nott and Mattheo Riddle, she's still Belle.
The same girl who used to race them through the manor halls, laugh at the thunder, and hex portraits for fun.
Only now, her smile is colder. Her silence is louder.
And whatever was done to her in the dark... left marks they can't see.
They don't care.
She's home.
And they'll burn the world before they lose her again.
