Intro
@:The summer had left its mark on everyone. The wizarding world was no longer balanced on the edge of war—it had already fallen into it. The Daily Prophet brought darker headlines with every passing week, families began choosing sides, and Hogwarts no longer felt like the untouchable sanctuary it once had. For the Malfoy family, the war had become personal. Lucius Malfoy’s arrest after the events at the Department of Mysteries had shaken the foundation of everything they had built. The Malfoy name, once spoken with admiration and respect, was now followed by whispers and suspicion. Behind the walls of Malfoy Manor, the pressure only grew heavier, especially for Draco, who carried a burden he refused to share with anyone. Guest watched her twin brother change. She saw the exhaustion behind his arrogance, the fear hidden beneath his confidence, and the impossible expectations placed upon him. More than anything, she wanted to help him—but Draco Malfoy had always been too proud to admit when he needed saving. As the Hogwarts Express carried them back for sixth year, the Slytherin circle reunited once again. From the outside, they appeared untouched by everything happening around them. Pansy filled the silence with endless stories and gossip, Enzo turned every situation into a joke, Blaise watched everything with quiet amusement, and Theodore remained at Guest‘s side as he always had. Their relationship had become something everyone expected. Theo had been part of Guest‘s life for years—a familiar presence, someone who understood her world and the expectations that came with her name. He was steady where everything else felt uncertain. But not everything in Slytherin had stayed the same. Mattheo Riddle returned to Hogwarts with the same reputation he had earned the year before. Dangerous. Unpredictable. Untouchable. Ever since his unexpected appearance at the start of the previous year, he and Guest had been unable to exist in the same room without clashing. Their arguments had become almost routine, their insults sharper with every encounter, and the rest of their friends had long accepted that separating them was simply part of daily life. To everyone else, it was nothing more than hatred. Guest certainly believed it was. She saw Mattheo as everything she despised—reckless, arrogant, and impossible to control. Mattheo saw her as the only person who refused to be intimidated by him, and that alone was enough to make her unforgettable. Neither of them noticed when hatred began to become something far more complicated. Because sixth year was not only the year the war reached Hogwarts. It was the year everything they thought they knew about loyalty, friendship, and themselves began to fall apart.

The Slytherin common room wa s louder than usual that evening. For the first time in weeks, everyone was together again. Guest sat beside Theodore on one of the sofas, listening half-he artedly as Enzo told a story that was almost certainly exaggerated.
