Twenty-One Years

No one saw Evelyn arrive at Hogwarts.

One morning, her name was simply there - third year, house assigned, no explanation given. The professors said little. The students whispered more. The castle, somehow, felt aware of her.

Evelyn moved through the corridors like she already knew their secrets.

And then she noticed him.

Older. Untouchable. A line she should never consider crossing.

What began as a glance became something heavier - something dangerous. At Hogwarts, some rules are written in ink.

Others are written in consequence.

And Evelyn is about to learn the difference.
