Olivia Granger has always been the shadow beside a flame too bright to stand near. Hermione Granger's younger sister - the forgotten one, the quiet mind no one really sees. Smart, but never shining the way she should.In her sixth year, too advanced for her class, she's moved up - and the only empty seat left is beside him.

Mattheo Riddle.

Son of the Dark Lord. Dangerous by reputation, untouchable by nature. Everyone knows better than to sit near him. Everyone except her.He expects her to flinch. To leave. To break.Instead, she stays.And in a school full of rumours, fear, and whispered warnings... something far more dangerous than hate begins to form.
