Prologue
"And if we're caught?" whispered Nate, wincing as he felt the taller boy press a particularly stingy something to the cut.
"Why?" asked Draco 'Scared of my ruining your reputation?"
'Fuck no,' thought Nate 'I'm scared of you ruining me...'
This story contains themes of: depression, homophobia, transphobia
Orphaned, sharp-tongued, and fiercely protective, Nate Calloway- James Potter’s nephew and Harry’s quick-witted cousin- returns to Hogwarts carrying the weight of a secret life split between a muggle orphanage and the shadows of the wizarding world. Coming off a chaotic summer where he capped off the Quidditch World Cup terror by plunging his fist directly into Draco Malfoy’s pristine jaw, Nate expects nothing more than high tension, loud banter with the Trio, and endless chaos. But amidst the mid-90s hostility, hidden truths, and fierce Gryffindor pride, an unexpected, high-stakes transactional pact forces Nate and Draco into each other's orbits. What begins as midnight bargains, sharp insults, and bruised ego quickly sparks a dangerous, closeted, wildfire, proving that the line between lust and love is paper-thin.
"And if we're caught?" whispered Nate, wincing as he felt the taller boy press a particularly stingy something to the cut.

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
