Let Me Be the One Who Knows You

She didn't ask to be loved by two boys shaped by war.
Cedric-golden, steady, untouchable.
Draco-sharp, storm-eyed, desperate to be understood.

She was just trying to find her place.
In the castle that whispered her name.
In the house that chose her.
In a family that nearly didn't.

But Hogwarts doesn't care about timing.
The Sorting Hat saw something in her.
The professors watch her too closely.
And the boys-well, they're not watching.
They're choosing.

And when love begins in silence and jealousy?
You don't always know who you are,
until someone else tries to claim it.

This is not a story about being chosen.
It's a story about choosing back.

Hufflepuff golden boy. Slytherin prince. Ravenclaw storm.
