BEASTS AND BLOODLINES (Mattheo Riddle x OC)

"Monsters are just things we haven't taken the time to understand yet."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xia Scamander carries more than just magical creatures in her father's battered leather case-she carries a legacy of kindness in a world growing increasingly dark. When she transfers to Hogwarts, she expects to spend her days tending to Nifflers and Bowtruckles. She didn't expect to catch the eye of the school's most dangerous enigma:
----------------------------
Mattheo is a storm of shadows and sharp edges, a boy who has never known anything but fear and power. But when a stray Niffler leads Xia into the depths of the Slytherin dungeons, a spark ignites that neither of them can extinguish.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Hufflepuff with a heart for the misunderstood and a Riddle with a soul built for war, they must decide if their connection is a sanctuary-or a death wish. In a world of beasts and bloodlines, can a Scamander truly tame a Riddle?
