The Serpent's Gem

Victoria Rosier never planned to become Draco Malfoy's greatest rival.

After moving from France before their first year at Hogwarts, Victoria quickly became part of the same Slytherin friend group as Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini. Their parents are close family friends. Their childhoods have been intertwined. Yet somehow, Victoria and Draco have spent the last four years arguing over everything-from Quidditch and grades to who gets the last word.

Everyone in Slytherin knows one thing: if Victoria Rosier and Draco Malfoy are together, an argument is guaranteed.

But fourth year changes everything.

A harmless game of Truth or Dare at a secret Slytherin dorm party leaves them sharing a kiss neither of them can forget. What begins as a joke slowly becomes a secret neither is ready to admit. As stolen glances turn into late-night conversations and hidden meetings around Hogwarts, Victoria and Draco are forced to question whether the line between hatred and love was ever there at all.

With gossip spreading through the castle, family expectations growing heavier, and their closest friends beginning to suspect the truth, keeping their feelings hidden becomes harder every day.

Sometimes your greatest enemy is the one who knows your heart best.
