Theodor Northwood has always kept to himself. A quiet, anxious Ravenclaw from a strict, high-society family, he finds comfort in solitude, precision, and avoiding anything that could draw attention - or trouble. But this year, he's made himself a quiet promise: to try. Try to socialise, to understand others, to stop letting fear dictate his every choice.
When a cheerful and unpredictable Hufflepuff named Murphy bounds into his life during a Potions assignment, Theo finds himself drawn into a strange new rhythm. What begins as an awkward study partnership slowly transforms into something more - study sessions turn into Quidditch training, cautious curiosity becomes genuine connection, and for the first time, Theo wonders what it means to want more than just friendship.
But navigating feelings is more daunting than any essay or match. With a lifetime of repression, heartbreak, and high expectations weighing him down, Theo must decide if he can trust himself-not just to feel, but to believe that someone might feel the same way in return.
