She was Prince Harry's best friend, and he was Prince Harry's brother. Their paths crossed during one of the darkest times of his life, not long after they had both lost their beloved mother. She found solace in the pages of books, and he found solace in her.
She was the beauty to his beast, the Eric to her Ariel, and the Hermione to his Ron. Opposites in so many ways, yet their connection was undeniable. She brought light to his shadows, while he grounded her in a way no one else could.
Their bond grew quietly, rooted in shared grief and strengthened by countless moments of laughter, understanding, and unspoken emotions. It was the kind of love that crept in slowly, unnoticed, until one day, it became impossible to ignore.
They loved each other in ways neither of them fully understood yet-soulmates caught in the delicate dance of timing, longing, and the weight of what could be. All they needed was time to realize what everyone around them already knew: they were meant for each other.
In which, a 15 year old signs up to play the games, unknowing of the friendships she'd make and the people she'd lose.
