35 parts Complete MatureAt Hogwarts, every friendship begins with a choice-and every rivalry with a spark.
Lily Evans boards the Hogwarts Express for her very first year, her heart full of nervous hope and the promise of escape from a home that never felt like hers. She quickly finds friends, warmth, and a place where she belongs.
But across the train corridor sits Draco Malfoy-arrogant, sharp-tongued, and already carrying the weight of his family's legacy. From the moment their paths cross, tension crackles. Lily refuses to bow to his pure-blood superiority, and Draco can't seem to ignore the defiant girl who challenges him at every turn.
As the school year unfolds, their rivalry becomes legendary-spilling into classrooms, corridors, and even the Quidditch stands. Yet behind every sharp word and cold glare lies something neither of them wants to admit: curiosity.
With secrets in the castle, the weight of expectations, and the beginnings of something far more complicated than hatred, Year One will test both of them.
Because sometimes the fiercest rivalries hide the deepest truths.
