Affairs of the Heart (Season 1)

At 21, Tristan Valentin thought she had life figured out-until she discovered her long-term boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. Desperate for a clean break, she transfers to Hogwarts, a prestigious and highly competitive college for careers in the wizarding world, starting her fourth year while everyone else moves into their fifth. Tristan vows to swear off drama and complicated romance, focusing only on rebuilding her life.

But quiet resolve is impossible at Hogwarts University. Tristan quickly catches the eye of both the brooding, reserved Severus Snape and the charming, magnetic James Potter, instantly placing her at the center of their years-long rivalry. As her undeniable connection with Severus deepens, his fierce animosity with James-and James's equally possessive friend, Sirius Black-escalates into a cold war.

Adding to the chaos, Tristan also forms tight, conflicting bonds with other students: a close friendship with Lily Evans is jeopardized by her budding relationship with Severus, while a bond with Charity forces her to mediate between Lily's loyalty and Charity's biting wit.

The central conflict becomes clear: if Tristan wants to keep the vibrant community she's found, she must somehow find a way to make the rival Marauders and Severus's Gang civil around her. Forced into the role of reluctant mediator, Tristan uses her mature perspective and sharp wit to broker a complex, exhausting truce. Yet, as the rivalry pushes the students toward dangerous magic and darker confrontations, Tristan must decide if keeping the peace is worth risking the safety of her family and her new friends-and if she can truly trust Severus (Or James and Sirius) with her heart after a past betrayal left her shattered.
