Y/N L/N was never meant to be ordinary.
Born into the Malfoy family and burdened with impossible expectations, she enters Hogwarts carrying both her parents' ambition and the shadow of a brother who despises her - Lucius Malfoy.
Sorted into Slytherin, Y/N struggles to live up to the brilliance she was raised to embody, battling academic pressure, social hostility, and her own self-doubt.
But among whispered rumors, rivalries, and the sharp cruelty of Hogwarts politics, one presence stands out - Tom Riddle.
Cold. Brilliant. Observant.
A boy who speaks rarely, watches closely, and hides far more than he reveals.
As Y/N fights to prove herself in a world that expects perfection, she finds herself drawn into Tom's orbit - where ambition, danger, and quiet tension begin to intertwine.
Because at Hogwarts, power is never harmless...
And neither is falling for someone who may one day become a monster.
