Y/N landed from the private plane, met by the familiar face of the flight attendant who had been a constant presence since her childhood. The attendant had aged gracefully from her 20s to her early 30s, witnessing Y/N's growth over the years. For the Muggle world, Y/N's education was shrouded in secrecy. Amaryllis told her Muggle friends that Y/N attended a boarding school, conveniently hiding Hogwarts. The Four Founders of Hogwarts had devised a fictional boarding school in the Muggle realm, providing a cover for Muggle-born students like Hermione. The clock showed 9 am, marking the next day after their 8 pm leave yesterday. As they stepped onto Californian soil, the warm sun welcomed them. The temperature wasn't as scalding as Y/N remembered, but it was certainly much, much warmer than London. ✴✴✴✴✴ The crowd erupted in joy as the new year arrived, and fireworks burst into the sky, casting a brilliant, kaleidoscopic display. In that moment, amidst the sparkling lights, Y/N and Hermione sat next to each other - they always have. But one thought they shared indefinitely: "I'm confused about you." ✴✴✴✴✴ Disclaimer: This book follows the plot of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

"You are the love of my life," Y/N said. "I love you." "If loving me comes with shame," Hermione breathed in a shaky breath. "I don't want your love." In a matter of seconds, Y/N's world came tumbling down. Hermione's words hit her like a pile of bricks. It wasn't long until her pride was in shambles - barely hanging on by a thread. She felt so fucking weak and pathetic. Hermione was the only one she'd been truly herself with and, turns out, she wasn't enough. "I'm trying my best," Y/N's red eyes - as if they weren't bright enough - brightened even more with tears. ⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇ Y/N Crimson, a 15-year-old student in her fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, gets chosen as a Triwizard Champion as Cedric Diggory's replacement alongside Harry Potter. Y/N also grapples with her emotions, particularly her growing feelings for Hermione Granger; to be or not to be? Just ask her the question, she thought - she was about to until everything all came tumbling down when what Y/N had thought she had left in the past was suddenly in front of her, face-to-face. A friend, or a foe? Amidst all this, a feeling gnawed her from the inside out, a feeling that something bad would happen. Disclaimer: This book follows the plot of J.K.
