Eternally

Arianna Analise Black was precision wrapped in poise-elegant eyes, a mind like a blade, and a heart that beat only for the few who earned it. She was untouchable, unreadable, and just a little bit dangerous.

She grew up loved, yes-but always watched. Her mother's mistrust of her school made caution second nature. So Arianna learned to guard herself, to trust no one too easily, and to cut deep if anyone dared cross a line.

Then came him.

Dark. Brilliant. Infuriating. He tried to push her away.

But she wasn't a fan of leaving and moving against her will.

And it all started with that damn Potions project.

Matheo Riddle was chaos in human form-ink-stained fingers, blood on his collar, and a mind sharp enough to cut. Professors feared him. Students watched him like a loaded wand. He didn't care.

He'd been told his whole life he was just like his father. His friends disagreed. He didn't. The darkness felt too familiar.

So he hid-behind sarcasm, rebellion, and a twisted sense of control. He didn't let people in.

Then came her.

Sharp. Unafraid. Unshakable. She didn't back down, and worse-she understood him.

He tried to push her away, convinced he'd ruin her.

But she didn't like being pushed.

And it all started with that cursed Charms essay.
