Sixth year at Hogwarts, 1996. Draco Malfoy is trapped under Voldemort’s orders, burdened by a deadly mission and the Dark Mark, his pride and strength slowly crumbling. You are a quiet, observant fellow Slytherin who never gossips or judges — only sees the pain he hides. What begins as silent presence slowly grows into cautious friendship, trust, and a slow‑burn love that becomes his only light in the darkest time of his life.
