She hated him. He could feel it in the cold distance between them. But what hurt the most was that he hated himself too.
But she knew deep down that, despite the hurt, despite the anger and the things they couldn't undo, they weren't done yet. Not with each other. Not yet anyway.
"Do you think we can fix this?" Marina asked quietly, her voice almost inaudible. She sounded so tired. So vulnerable.
Theo paused, his chest tightening as he searched her face, trying to find some kind of answer in her eyes. He didn't have one. Not a real one. Not yet. But he wasn't going to give up. Not on her. Not on them.
"I don't know," he whispered back, his thumb brushing against her cheek one more time. "But I'm not going anywhere, Marina. Not this time."
For a fleeting moment, Marina believed him. And that was enough.

Love is blind - a Hogwarts Legacy fanfiction
" 'Promise me,' I said, as I started to notice his body just inches away from mine. He frowned as he looked down on me. 'Promise you what, Ava?' That way of saying my name- again. My breath was shaky as I whispered, closer to hip lips. 'Promise you won't do it. Promise that you won't marry her.' He lent a bit more forward and I felt his also racing heart beat against my own chest. I couldn't bear having him so close, not being able to touch his lips with mine before he said the words. I could see in his milky eyes that his mind was getting more blank by the feeling of my fingers that had found his hair. 'Please,' I asked, and he took one, long breath. 'I promise, I will-' but that was all I needed before I pressed my eager lips against his, gripping his hair more tightly and pulling him closer than I ever had before." Ava Dijkstra is in her last year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the year she must decide how she will fulfill the rest of her life; stay close to her muggle roots or choose another, magical path.

~•THE WRONG ROUTE•~
Malfoy knocks into Granger. Granger snarls. Malfoy mocks. Granger retorts. The end. Except... Something in his chest cracked open. His limbs moved before his pride could catch up. He dropped to one knee beside her and began to collect the books. Hermione blinked, her fingers pausing on the spine of her Arithmancy notes. Her eyes darted to his face, confused. "You're actually helping?" she muttered, suspiciously. Draco didn't look at her. He picked up the thickest book, brushing some dust from the edge. His fingers trembled. And then, voice rough, soft-like it had scraped itself raw before speaking-he said: "I-I'm sorry." Hermione froze completely. What? Draco cleared his throat, handed her the book, and added, voice faltering just enough to betray him: "I didn't mean to, I wasn't paying attention-sorry, mudblood." Triggered Warning- Gore, violence,mentions of attempted suicide, torture, mentions of rape.Complete
The Facade of Us | Sebastian Sallow x Reader
"We can't keep tipping the scale of friendship, Sebastian." I say, my voice trembling as I meet his gaze. His expression falters, vulnerability flickering across his face. "Then tell me, Y/N-what do we call this?" ────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆── Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you're still celebrated for your heroic deeds during fifth year. But fame comes with its challenges, and nothing complicates life more than unspoken emotions.

One condition, however, left you uneasy-Ominis forbade any romance between you and Sebastian, convinced it would only bring chaos. You agreed, believing your feelings for Sebastian were purely platonic. But as the new school year begins, the line between friendship and something deeper began to blur. Leander Prewett, persistent as ever, refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to his infatuation with you that started in your fifth year. Desperate for a solution, you turn to Sebastian for help, thinking it might finally end Leander's advances. Little did you know, this small request would set the stage for a far more tangled web of emotions and forbidden feelings.Complete
Just - Theodore Nott
!!CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! "You're not how I remember you." Theodore mumbled, loud enough for it to hang in the cigarette-smoke-infused air between us, but quiet enough for just the two of us to hear. It was heavier than the smoke, maybe heavier than the fallen expression on his face, but I didn't want to test that. "I've just..." I shifted, crossing one leg over the other, fingers twisting the silver ring on my middle finger. "... changed." His gaze lingered on me for a beat too long before he looked away, tapping ash neatly into a tray. "You really have changed," he murmured, almost to himself. I raised a brow, my fidgeting stuttering just slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?" His shoulders rose and fell in a faint shrug, plastering a face of nonchalance. "Not sure yet." --- A dual POV story in which Aliyah Riddle and Theodore Nott find love amongst all the hardships of fighting for their life, for love, and even going behind all they have been convinced is right.

A Touch Beyond || Theo Nott
"Even the Dark Lord flinched when Myla raised her wand. Theo only smiled-because he knew she was his." The Dark Lord has won too much already. What remains of the old Slytherin circle-Theo, Draco, Blaise, Daphne, Pansy, and their tangled families-cling to one another in a war that has stripped them of youth, innocence, and choice. Loyalties blur, promises fracture, and survival demands sacrifices that wound deeper than any curse. At the center of it all is Myla-a brilliant tactician, the most feared weapon the Death Eaters have, and the woman Theo would burn the world to protect. But in this war, love is not salvation. It is leverage. And memory itself may not be strong enough to hold on to her. As betrayal coils through their ranks and Voldemort's grasp tightens, each secret kept to protect the family threatens to destroy it instead. In the Manor's halls and on bloodstained battlefields, they discover the war isn't just fought with wands. It's fought in the mind, the heart, and in the unbearable silence of what has already been lost.

"Sit. The fuck. Down," she said instead, her voice dropping into a warning tone. But he only matched her and lowered his head just a tiny bit, so their eyes were perfectly levelled. His face was about three inches from hers, and she could study all the sharp and non-boyish features of his face. "Why. Do. You. Avoid. Me." It wasn't a question anymore. "Because you scare me." | This is no love story. This is simply a story where love is taken as less than a minor factor. | Check author's note for trigger warnings and more information!Complete
Mr. Perfectly Fine || Draco Malfoy

And this... is the story of how Draco Malfoy completely ruined me. . . . Draco x oc fanfiction. 11/8/25-1/6/26Complete

It's there she meets three boys who wear their pain like armor: Mattheo Riddle, the detached, brutal duelist haunted by the legacy of his father; Theo Nott, the anxious perfectionist with a quiet desperation for connection; and Lorenzo Berkshire, the reckless gambler trying to outrun the chaos in his own mind. What starts as survival quickly becomes entanglement. Genre: Dark Academia, Romance, Mental Health, Found FamilyComplete
