Wicked Games - Draco Malfoy, Mattheo Riddle

At Hogwarts, secrets spread faster than magic, especially in Slytherin.

At Hogwarts, everyone plays a part - the saint, the sinner, the golden one, the snake.

Ophelia Blackwood has hers perfected. She's sharp, confident, and adored, the kind of Slytherin who can charm a room with a glance. But behind the perfect smile and polished uniform, she's walking a fine line between who she is and who she's supposed to be.

Then there's Draco Malfoy - cold, cutting, and always watching. He's made an art of pretending not to care, especially when it comes to her. His words sting, his silences sting more, and neither of them knows why they can't seem to stop circling each other.

And Mattheo Riddle, quiet where Draco is cruel, distant where he's loud. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it's usually to her - the only person who remembers the version of him that used to laugh.

They've all been in the same friend group for years. They've all played this game before. But this year, the stakes are higher, the secrets darker, and the lines between love, hate, and loyalty blur faster than ever.

Because in Slytherin, affection looks a lot like manipulation,
and every story is just another wicked game.
