Pink Lies and Silver Strings (a M.R story)

Lyra arrives at Hogwarts with nothing but a borrowed name and a quiet determination to stay hidden. Soft-spoken and kind, she quickly finds herself under the wing of Pansy Parkinson, who offers her both friendship and a place to belong. To everyone else, Lyra is simply the shy Slytherin girl who bakes late at night, plays gentle melodies on her guitar, and believes in love like it's something unbreakable.

But Lyra is keeping secrets-ones that could destroy the life she's carefully built.

Then she crosses paths with Mattheo Riddle, the school's notorious bad boy. Cold, unpredictable, and completely uninterested in love, he's everything Lyra should avoid. Yet, against all odds, he's drawn to her quiet warmth-and she's drawn to the pieces of him no one else seems to see.

As their connection deepens, so does the risk of everything falling apart. Because the truth Lyra is hiding isn't something that can stay buried forever- its somthing dangerous.

And when it finally surfaces, she'll have to face the question she's been running from all along-
can you really become someone new, or does the past always find its way back?
