Drawn to Her Like a Curse

Camila Cabello was the student teachers called on when no one else knew the answer. If there was a hand raised in class, it was hers. If there was a textbook open in the library at midnight, it was hers. She had a plan for her Hogwarts years, and the plan was simple: work harder than everyone, be extraordinary, and let nothing get in the way.

She was prepared for late nights, ink-stained fingers, and giving up everything that wasn't studying.

She was not prepared for Lauren Jauregui.

Green-eyed, sharp-tongued, effortlessly brilliant without ever seeming to try, the Slytherin girl everyone at Hogwarts has an opinion about and the only person who has ever made Camila lose her place on a page.

But something is happening at Hogwarts this year. Something dark, moving quietly beneath the everyday life of the castle, and for the first time in her life Camila is going to find that the questions worth answering aren't the ones written on an exam paper.

Falling for Lauren was never part of the plan. Saving her wasn't either.

She intends to be extraordinary at both.

### A note before we begin ###

The story will be around 50 chapters. This is an AU Camren fanfic set in the Harry Potter universe. All characters belong to themselves and this is purely fictional. In this version of Hogwarts, students begin their first year at fourteen or fifteen. Students born between January and March are eligible to start a year early: the selection is random, chosen by Hogwarts itself, the letter arriving at the beginning of the summer before their first year. Camila Cabello, born in March, is sharing her fifth year with students a year older than her (Lauren, Ally, Normani, Liam, Harry, and most of the people who matter in this story). There are only a few exceptions, like Dinah, the same age as Camila and still in fourth year.
