    Summary

    Hermione Granger enters Hogwarts expecting wonder and study, not the heavy silences that follow the Dark Heir.
    Harry Potter—raised by the Dark Lord, feared by students, obeyed without words—moves through the castle with a quiet, lethal grace. No theatrics, no cruelty. Just power contained so tightly it changes the air around him.

    Hermione knows to keep her distance. Everyone warns her to. But each time she glimpses him—calm, unreadable, dangerous—something in her tightens.

    Not admiration. Not fascination. Something in between.

    This is the story of a girl who fears a boy she cannot stop noticing…
    and a boy who hasn’t yet realized he will one day notice her back.
