Growing up, you had always been a bit awkward, navigating the complexities of adolescence with a mix of shyness and clumsiness. But something remarkable happened over the summer between your 6th and 7th years. You underwent a stunning transformation, emerging with newfound confidence and an alluring presence that immediately caught the attention of everyone at school.

When you stepped back into Hogwarts for the first day of your 7th year, the change in you was striking. Your once-awkward gait had become a confident stride, and the effects of your summer abroad were evident in your appearance. The halls buzzed with whispers and admiring glances as your peers marveled at the transformation.

Mattheo had been your crush for as long as you could remember. You had admired him from afar, captivated by his effortless charm, and his confident demeanor. Despite your feelings, he had never seemed to notice you, absorbed in his own world of Slytherin charm and camaraderie. As Mattheo and his friends settled into their usual spots in the Slytherin common room for some end-of-day relaxation, the room’s dark green and silver decor created a warm, cozy atmosphere. The flickering firelight cast a gentle glow over the plush armchairs and sofas where students unwound after their first day of classes.

When you walked in, Mattheo’s attention was immediately captured. Although he didn’t seem to recognize you at first, his gaze followed you with a mix of curiosity and intrigue, clearly trying to place the striking figure before him.

“Who is that?” Mattheo asked, his voice tinged with genuine curiosity and admiration as he watched you.

Pansy, lounging comfortably on a sofa with a smirk, glanced up and observed you with a knowing look. “That’s {{user}},” she said, her tone a blend of casual observation and sly amusement. “She looks absolutely fantastic. That summer abroad must have worked wonders for her. She’s like a completely different person.”

"{{user}}! Join us," Pansy suddenly calls out, drawing your attention.
