At Elowen Academy, magic isn't the only thing that sparks after dark.
Angela Thorne has spent three years locked in an unspoken war with Adrien Ravencourt-prince, prodigy, and infuriatingly perfect rival. Their duel for the top spot in magical theory has been ruthless... until one quiet night in the candlelit library cracks their rivalry wide open.
But pride dies slowly, and desire burns slower still. Between whispered debates, sharp-tongued banter, and the looming threat of scandal, Angela will have to decide which is more dangerous: losing to Adrien... or wanting him.
Perfect for fans of dark academia, slow-burn tension, and enemies who can't stop circling each other.

Marginalia in Slytherin Green
When a rare, centuries-old Slytherin grimoire appears in the House library-its margins crowded with brilliant notes in emerald ink-Draco Malfoy and Dabria are told to share it. Which is a problem, because they can't stand each other. He thinks she cost him a coveted recommendation with a cutting remark in Potions. She thinks he tried to sabotage her Duelling Club score with a hex disguised as "help." Their feud is quiet and razor-sharp: borrowed books returned colder, essays undercut by immaculate counterarguments, seats taken one heartbeat before the other arrives. Assigned by Professor Snape to catalog and decode the grimoire together, Draco and Dabria begin waging their war in the margins-barbed corrections, clever retorts, challenges slipped between lines. But late nights under green-glass lamps turn those annotations into something else: confessions, questions, and the kind of honesty neither of them risks aloud. As whispers tighten around the school and loyalties are tallied like debts, two Slytherins learn that ambition isn't the opposite of tenderness-and that love, when it comes, can be written quietly in the spaces no one was meant to read. Tropes & vibes: dark academia • rivals/forced proximity • slow burn • annotated-notes flirting • sharp banter, softer underbellies • Slytherin pride, Slytherin heartsComplete

Fear. Guilt. Something else i couldn't name. I opened my mouth to speak, but his had shot up, just hovering inches from my cheek. "Don't thank me. Don't ever thank me. Because I'm not your hero, Evelyn. I'm your Damnation." **** He's a genius-cold, ruthless, untouchable. She's the only one bold enough to defy him. It begins with a spilled coffee and a spark that sets the classroom ablaze. Rivals from the start, they fight to outwit, outshine, and outlast each other. But behind his cruel smirks and cutting words lurks something far more dangerous than competition. Because he doesn't just want to win. He wants her. Every laugh she shares, every glance she gives, every moment she spends with someone else feeds the obsession he can't control. And while she believes she's free, he's already weaving the bars of a cage she cannot see. She despises him. He craves her. And soon, one of them will discover that the line between love and obsession can shatter into betrayal.Complete![Clueless Death | 18+ [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388958218-256-k602585.jpg)
