Everyone knows what Y/N did. Nobody knows why. When five Death Eaters infiltrate Hogwarts one night, Y/N is caught alone in a corridor and forced to fight for her life. Draco is the one who finds her afterward. She’s barely conscious. The five Death Eaters are lifeless around her. Y/N survives. But somehow, surviving becomes the part everyone has a problem with. Rumors spread through Hogwarts, twisting the truth until Y/N is no longer seen as the girl who was attacked. She’s dangerous. Unstable. Mad. The whispers follow her everywhere, and suddenly the people who once knew her are looking at her like she’s someone they should fear. Everyone believes the story they’ve been told. Everyone except Draco Malfoy. Because Draco was there. He saw the aftermath with his own eyes, and he knows there has to be more to the story. As he begins uncovering what really happened that night, Draco realizes that perhaps Hogwarts didn’t create a monster. Perhaps they simply created one by deciding to blame the girl who survived. They called her mad. They never asked what made her that way.
