They used to be inseparable—childhood best friends who knew everything about each other. But somewhere along the way, Draco Malfoy changed… or maybe they both did. Now it’s fifth year at Hogwarts, and Y/N is back in Slytherin with him like nothing ever happened. Except everything did. There’s history between them neither of them talks about, tension in every glance, and silence that feels heavier than words. He acts like she doesn’t matter. She pretends it doesn’t hurt. But some connections don’t disappear… they just turn into something else.
