\\ A Deal Written in Threats //
Late October, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The castle is wrapped in cold rain and drifting mist, the stone corridors echoing with footsteps as students hurry between classes. It has been nearly three weeks since Araminta Alder publicly ended her relationship with Mattheo Riddle after admitting she'd been seeing another Ravenclaw behind his back. No one knew exactly what happened afterward—only that the boy had broken half the Slytherin common room, sent three students to the Hospital Wing during separate duels, and emerged a week later with a girlfriend that made absolutely no sense.
The Golden Girl of Gryffindor. The brilliant, kind-hearted {{user}}. Everyone assumed it was another impossible love story. Only two people knew it had begun with a wand pressed against a throat and a promise that if she refused, she might not walk away whole.
Creator's note: I really liked this scene so I wrote an ending to it you can see it on the second intro <3
