i look at you
the way icarus looks at sunrises

as something so beautiful and bright
it scatters the heavens
and the longer i watch,
the more i know i'm as good as gone

sometimes, i wonder
what the sun ever thought of icarus
but I guess it doesn't really matter

even if my wings were to burn
in a ball of hell fire
chasing after you
i wouldn't be bitter

i'd look up at the sky
as i crash back down to earth
and smile

because the sight in front of my eyes-
of all the different hues
diping in and out of clouds

would be a sight-
only few, if any
would ever get to see
and it would definitely,-
be worth the risk

THE FALL OF ICARUS
synopsis

MATTHEO RIDDLE has fallen in love.
But JULIET OF THE ANGELS doesn't know he's fallen in love with her.

JULIET OF THE ANGELS was an ordinary witch blending in with the rest of her classmates as they watched Harry Potter and his friends go through adventures every school year. something always had to happen which made it exciting as she lived vicariously through the stories she heard from her classmates. nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. she was just a random student that happened to attend the same grade level as harry potter.

if anyone ever asked about who she was, most hufflepuffs would describe her as sweet and kind while the majority of the other students from different houses didn't even know she existed. that's how easily she blended in. despite her friendships from her house, she didn't make many others outside of it. she could go through her entire school years unknown.

well, that's what she thought.

unbeknownst to her, she's always had an admirer. someone always tried to catch glances of her. but he had never done anything to get her attention. maybe because of his reputation or because he was frightened she wouldn't believe him.

MATTHEO RIDDLE was popular within his grade level. well, scratch that, he was popular overall. every grade level knew who he was. why you ask? because he was the son of an infamous criminal that created the first wizarding war having killed many innocent lives. so anyone who crossed paths with him either feared him or admired him. the girls swooned over his looks and charm while the boys respected him and wanted to befriend him.

having a tragic past, mattheo kept his history close to himself not letting many know who he was deep down. the only people knowing of him was his closest friends that consisted of a few slytherins, theodore nott and enzo berkshire being the main ones.

the boy that crossed her mind was a boy, a year older than her, the one every girl also swooned for, cedric diggory. now he was the boy that crossed her mind constantly. especially when he'd go out of his way to greet her when he'd see her walking to class or to the great hall. mattheo has rarely crossed juliet's mind. she didn't think much when she hears of him or sees him during classes. but this all changed when they were partnered up for an assignment for their potions class.

clueless to what she was getting herself into, juliet befriends the misunderstood slytherin without knowing what's coming for her. she doesn't know how deep in love she was going to fall for mattheo. she doesn't know how troubled her life was going to get when she realizes he's reciprocated those feelings all along. and she doesn't know how far mattheo would go to protect her and keep her safe from the man he calls father.

she doesn't know how tragic her epic love story with mattheo is going to become.

or

in which the story of icarus becomes a cautionary tale for mattheo riddle as he falls in love with juliet of the angels, the sun.

❝ icarus didn't think about the sun as his death. he didn't think about how he would burn and fall and drown in the ocean.

icarus saw the sun after years of clouds and misery and thought about his childhood and about sunsets and dawns and he smiled, because it was like greeting an old friend after a rough time. ❞

author's note!
please note that the timeline will change a little bit. instead of the students being fourteen in the goblet of fire, they will be fifteen years old. just because this story does carry a lot of drinking and sexual scenarios. i prefer them to be at least 15. so that means you gotta be 16 to join the tournament.

disclaimer!
i do not own any of these characters they all belong to JK Rowling, mattheo riddle belongs to yasmineamaro, and enzo belongs to babynaomi. i only own juliet of the angels, her family, her friends, and their storylines.

warnings!
blood, eating disorders, body issues, violence, foul language, underage drinking, underage smoking, morbid discussions, political views (as in pure blood supremacy), sexual innuendos and scenarios.

also!
don't be a ghost reader! please vote, comment (I love replying to comments including spam ones), give this book some love! it helps my motivation and knowing that people like my work.
