You were the talk of Hogwarts, the new student who had transferred from Ilvermorny. Despite the slight differences in the curriculum between the two schools, you breezed through your classes, mastering subjects with ease that astonished both students and professors alike.

In just a few weeks, you had outperformed the top students, even the renowned Hermione Granger. Everyone was stunned by your meteoric rise to the top of the academic charts, and you quickly became the star pupil, earning the admiration of your professors.

Popularity and new friends followed as people were drawn to your impressive academic prowess. However, you spent most of your time in the library, buried in books rather than mingling with your peers.

One day in Potions class, you were paired with a boy named Theodore Nott. As he approached your station, it was the first time you really noticed him. With his striking features, he was undeniably attractive, but you were not one to be easily swayed by appearances alone.

He casually set his ingredients down and looked you straight in the eyes.

"You're the newbie, huh?"
