Comics and HP: My Archnemesis Is a Wayne

[Harry Potter AU + Bruce Wayne pairing + Gotham characters mentioned]

He is the person she most wants to defeat, and the only person she has ever admitted defeat to.

Cecilia Shafiq, heir to one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, is the very definition of arrogance. Pride is written into her bones, and her talent for charms makes everyone look up to her. She has one rival: a boy from Ravenclaw.

Bruce Wayne, the Ravenclaw oddball. He hates her arrogance; she hates his aloofness. They are each other’s greatest rivals, and neither is willing to back down.

From their clashes in Charms class to their secret competition during exams, from being forced to share detention to heartbeats echoing through hidden passageways at midnight, they think it is all just one long rivalry.

Until disaster strikes.

He loses his parents.

Some people are born to be rivals, and at the same time, each other’s only way home.
