"It's so sweet knowing that you love me,
Though we don't need to say it to each other, sweet."

Hogwarts was supposed to be a fresh start.
Instead, it became a battlefield - of power, of names, of bloodlines.
Aurelia Malfoy didn't believe in destiny, but being born a Malfoy meant carrying one like a curse. Everyone expected her to be perfect - poised, loyal, untouchable. But perfection cracks easily within Slytherin walls.
Then there's Theodore Nott - distant, unreadable, always half-lost in smoke and silence. He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it cuts deeper than a curse. No one really knows him - not the way Mattheo Riddle does, and certainly not the way Aurelia begins to.
