Emerald Fire - REWRITING

Hogwarts. Year Four.
A tournament that will change everything - and a girl who already has.

Once, Iris Vega was just another face in the crowd. Quiet, naïve, easily hurt.
But this year, she's different.
Different hair. Different walk. Different fire in her eyes.
Now, she's the Slytherin everyone whispers about -
gorgeous, untouchable, dangerous in all the right ways.

They call her "Four."
She gives attitude where others would give smiles.
She flirts, teases, and walks away before anyone can get close.
Beside her, Cedric Diggory - the golden Hufflepuff - laughs like he knows her best.
Together, they look perfect.
But perfection is a lie Iris built to survive.

Because underneath the eyeliner and the effortless cool
is a girl who learned love the hard way.
A girl who hides her warmth behind a wall of pride.
A girl who sees more than she lets on -
especially when it comes to one boy who doesn't think she even knows his name.

Harry Potter never thought Iris Vega noticed him.
She's everything he isn't - confident, composed, impossible.
Until one afternoon, when she walks up to him,
green eyes glinting like mischief,
and says, "Potter... go to Hogsmeade with me."

And just like that,
his world shifts.

In the middle of danger, jealousy, and growing up too fast,
their story unfolds - slow, reckless, and real.
Because love at Hogwarts doesn't come easy.
Sometimes it's hidden in glances,
buried in pride,
and whispered between two hearts that never meant to meet.

"How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about me?"

This is not a fairytale.
It's a slow burn.
It's a spark in the dark.
It's the story of how even the most guarded hearts
can find their match.
