Ruby Stonewall and the Secrets Beneath

Ruby Stonewall enters Hogwarts in the autumn of 1984, haunted by a family legacy of secrets and a missing brother once expelled for chasing forbidden knowledge. Sorted into Hufflepuff, Ruby quickly forms bonds with bright minds like Rowan Khanna and Penny Haywood-only to clash with Merula Snyde, an ambitious Slytherin determined to uncover the Cursed Vaults before anyone else.

From facing bullies to dueling werewolves, planning a surprise birthday for Hagrid to surviving the icy threats of the Forbidden Corridor, Ruby's first year is anything but ordinary. As snow falls on Hogwarts, she forges a new kind of family bound not by blood but by loyalty, love, and magic. But ancient whispers stir in the dark beneath the joy of Christmas, the thrill of Quidditch, and the warmth of new friendships. The Vaults are waking-and Ruby's journey is only just beginning.

Welcome to Year One. The Vaults are stirring again.

Author's Note:

Thank you so much for clicking on Ruby Stonewall and the Secrets Beneath. This fanfic follows a new Hufflepuff student through her first year at Hogwarts in 1984. It is inspired by Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, but full of original twists, deep friendships, and a mystery that echoes through the generations. I have wanted to write my own fanfic since the game came out, and I will also write short stories based on this game, but now I am still playing the game, and I am in Year 7.

Whether you're here for the Vault adventures, the growing bond between friendships, or the secrets buried beneath Hogwarts... welcome. I hope you enjoy Year One. 💛🖤
