Elowen Hale is known for her kindness... and for not taking shit from anyone. Except Mattheo Riddle, apparently. He gets under her skin from the moment Theodore starts bringing her around - sharp words, sharper looks, and an intensity she refuses to acknowledge. She's a Hufflepuff with a hidden bite; he's a Slytherin who hides softness like it's a sin. They should hate each other. But hate doesn't feel like this. Enemies, rivals, something dangerously close to more... There's a thin line between honey and venom- and they're about to cross it together. A Mattheo Riddle x Original Character Slow Burn Enemies to lovers • Banter • Dark/light dynamic • High tension • Mutual obsession #1 mattheoriddle #1 wizard #9 slytherin boys

"I was reaching for stars that didn't exist, caught up in the fantasies born of willful hope. I threw myself in the path of fate because I wanted to be swept away." ... We do stupid, stupid things in the name of those we love. We dedicate ourselves to false promises and we hope that in the end, it all turns out alright. I was never the kind of person who jumped into things without thinking about the consequences. I never dreamed of what could come from some silly mistakes. Two new students come for their 6th year at Hogwarts. Neither of them particularly want to be there. What havoc could a witch and a dark wizard bring to the year? As they both become frustratingly curious about each other, things fall in place that might never have occurred if they had just never met. ... So I started this book because I was bored, and now it's kind of my life accomplishment weirdly enough. It's not perfect and definitely not what it started out as but this fic has parts of my heart and soul in it and I'm proud of how far it's come. Contains toxic but also lovable Mattheo Riddle and an emotionally relatable mc. !!!Finished updating but still doing some editing!!! *WARNING* Contains violence, sexual content, swearing, mentions of abuse, death and possibly more. *I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, Mattheo Riddle belongs to @yasmineamara, I only own my own characters. Happy reading
