In the shadow of Voldemort's rise, the Slytherin boys know the rules: loyalty to the Dark Lord comes before everything. No love. No weakness. No mercy.
But when Cassidy Bennett crosses their path, one of them makes the fatal mistake of looking twice. Her family's name is whispered only in secret - a legacy drenched in blood, one that could get them all killed.
What begins as wary avoidance turns into an unlikely alliance, and then something far more dangerous. When all goes south, these boys are forced to witness it, they are left with a choice: obey the Dark Lord... or protect the girl they were never supposed to speak of.
In a world where sides are drawn in blood, can love survive the war - or will it burn with the rest of them?

YN Malfoy X Matteo Riddle
At Hogwarts, power is everything- and secrets can destroy even the strongest hearts. YN Malfoy has always been the overlooked Malfoy sibling-Draco's mischievous little sister, the one no one took seriously. But when she returns to Hogwarts for her fifth year, everything has changed. The quiet, awkward girl is gone, replaced by someone stronger, sharper... and hiding more than anyone realizes. Behind her cool smirk and biting sarcasm lies a truth she's never spoken: years of pain buried under the façade of a perfect pureblood life. Her father's cruelty still haunts her dreams, and the scars he left behind are deeper than magic can heal. Now, as old rivalries reignite and new alliances form, YN finds herself caught between the expectations of her family, the watchful eye of her protective brother Draco, and the dangerous charm of Matteo Riddle-best friend, confidant, and the one person who sees straight through her walls. But Matteo carries shadows of his own, and his family name-Riddle-comes with darkness that refuses to stay buried. As whispers spread through Hogwarts-of power, loyalty, and love forbidden by bloodlines-YN must learn to fight not just the monsters around her, but the ones within. Friendships will be tested. Secrets will unravel. And love might just become the most dangerous spell of all.
The Snake and The Lion
A second perspective. This story begins before Harry's third year at Hogwarts. Summer has only just begun, but Harry Potter already knows it's going to be different. A storm is brewing - not in the skies above Privet Drive, but within himself. When a chance encounter in Diagon Alley changes how he sees the world, Harry returns to Hogwarts with new eyes and heavier questions. Old friendships strain, unlikely ones begin, and the familiar walls of the castle start to feel... different. Darkness moves closer to the school - and to Harry - but this year, the real challenge isn't what hides in the shadows. It's learning that not everything light is good, and not everything dark is evil. All the characters in the story belongs to J K Rowling , only the storyline is my imagination. As this is my first time writing please bear with the grammatic errors and feel free to correct me .

He Hates Me Not | Theodore Nott
Nichole Lennox has rules: 1. Don't let anyone see you bleed. 2. Never fall for a Slytherin with secrets sharper than his jawline. 3. Especially not Theodore Nott. Cold, calculating, and maddeningly beautiful, Theo has always been her rival-the boy with cruel eyes and a mouth made for war. But when a party ends in jealousy, whispered confessions, and a kiss that burns more than it heals, everything changes. For the first time, Nikki isn't sure what's more dangerous: Theo's silence... or the way he looks at her like she belongs to him. As their games turn into glances, and their hatred melts into heat, Nikki finds herself drowning in tension, lies, and a love so explosive it might destroy them both. But Theo doesn't play fair-and neither does she. This isn't a love story. It's a battlefield. And someone's going to break first.
Starlight Muse - Regulus Black
Esmee Potter has never lived up to the Potter name-and she prefers it that way. While her brother James basks in the spotlight, all charm and Gryffindor pride, Esmee walks her own path: quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. She's not out to save the world. She's out to survive it-on her own terms. But when she crosses paths with Regulus Black-misunderstood, cunning, and tangled in the dark threads of his family's legacy-her carefully built walls begin to crack. They're from different worlds, enemies by blood and house, yet drawn to each other by something neither of them can explain. As darkness rises inside and outside Hogwarts, Esmee must decide who she wants to be: the girl who hides in the shadows, or the rebel who's willing to risk everything-even her heart-for the wrong boy. She's not James Potter's sister. She's something else entirely. And he sees it. *I do NOT own these characters except Esmee Potter and my other OCs*
