Hogwarts' Biggest Gossip

Lin Che (bottom) × Draco (top)

Me, Lin Che, just wanted to be a lazy bystander who watched the drama unfold. On my first day at Hogwarts, I discovered a transparent jellyfish floating above my head.

It had a magical ability: everyone who meant me no harm could hear my thoughts.

And just like that, the whole school found out about me, the drama-watching bystander.

On the train, I called Malfoy a “villain template,” and he spent the whole ride chasing after me to ask what I meant.

At the Sorting, I haggled with the Sorting Hat to get into Hufflepuff and laze around. The whole Great Hall heard everything.

In Potions class, I explained the feud between Snape and the Potter family, and Snape's cauldron nearly exploded.

I just wanted to peacefully watch the drama unfold. How did I become the center of gossip at school?

Even more absurdly, that blond Slytherin young master started showing up by my side every day.

“What are you thinking about now?” he asked.

I thought: I'm thinking you're pretty handsome.

His ears turned red.

From then on, Hogwarts had a strange pair: a Hufflepuff who found drama wherever he went, and a Malfoy who made a point of listening to his thoughts.
