Between Blood And Love

Vivienne Nott has always lived in the shadow of the powerful Nott name-and under the watchful eye of her protective older brother, Theodore Nott. In the dangerous world of Slytherins, loyalty is everything, secrets are currency, and trust is a risk few can afford.
But everything begins to unravel when Mattheo Riddle-Theodore's best friend and the boy with a reputation as dark as his family name-starts to look at Vivienne differently.
What begins as stolen glances and quiet conversations turns into something neither of them expected... and something Theodore would never allow.
Caught between family loyalty and forbidden feelings, Vivienne and Mattheo find themselves tangled in a web of secrets, betrayals, and promises they may never be able to keep.
Because in their world, love isn't just dangerous.
It's forbidden.
And sometimes the people you trust the most are the ones who break you.
When Vivienne Nott arrives at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she expects one thing-rules.
Rules from her powerful family.
Rules from her protective brother, Theodore Nott.
And especially one rule about his closest friend, Mattheo Riddle.
Stay away from him.
But Hogwarts is full of secrets, whispered alliances, and late-night encounters in dim corridors. Vivienne quickly realizes that the castle is nothing like the stories she grew up hearing. The students are darker, the rivalries deeper, and the friendships far more complicated.
Mattheo Riddle is exactly the kind of trouble Theodore warned her about-reckless, charming, and impossible to ignore.
At first, their meetings are accidental.
A glance across the Great Hall.
A late-night run-in in the Hogwarts Library.
A moment that lasts just a little too long.
But the more time Vivienne spends at Hogwarts, the more she realizes that some rules are impossible to follow... especially when the one person she's supposed to avoid might be the only one who truly understands her.
