I held the stolen letter from the 'H' Word School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just one step through the portal, and I'd finally be where I belong... or so I thought.
Mal Claire Wood has never known a life beyond the walls of Campbell's Café, the place her family once owned before debt stole everything. She spends her days working tirelessly to help her family survive, her only solace coming from letters exchanged with Jane Berry-a student at the magical H word School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Mal is a muggle, bound by the ordinary world, but she longs for something more. When she steals a letter from Hogwarts meant for a neighbor, she makes a reckless decision: she will go in their place. Leaving behind the only life she's ever known, she steps into the world of magic, deception, and dreams.
But Hogwarts is more than just spells and enchantments-it's a place where secrets lurk in the shadows, friendships are tested, and the truth has a way of unraveling. As Mal navigates a world she was never meant to enter, she must ask herself: how long can a lie last before it all comes crashing down?
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."

Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
