𝐕𝐄𝐈𝐋𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍 - FRED WEASLEY X READER.

Torn from the iron shadows of Durmstrang, Lirae Nocturne carries the weight of a crafted weapon, not a girl.

When Hogwarts calls, she answers. Reluctantly.

But within the sacred halls of Hogwarts, she finds herself faced with a different kind of weakness-one she had never been taught to recognize. Vulnerability.

It lurks in the spaces between lessons and laughter, in the quiet moments when no one is watching. A feeling she cannot control, cannot fight. It is the warmth in friendships that unsettle her, the trust that demands more than she is prepared to give. The castle itself, ancient and full of secrets, seems to whisper of this vulnerability, and it challenges everything she was trained to believe: that strength lies in isolation, in distance, in coldness. But here, in this place full of light and life, she is forced to confront the cracks in her carefully constructed walls, and for the first time, she wonders if breaking would truly be the end or just the beginning.
