Draco Malfoy has spent seven years loving the same girl. From the moment he first saw Isabella Gaunt, she became the center of every future he imagined. While the rest of Hogwarts saw the wealthy, brilliant, intimidating heir to the Malfoy name, no one knew that behind the arrogance and sharp tongue was a boy hopelessly devoted to one person. Isabella. Beautiful, kind, effortlessly adored by everyone around her—and completely oblivious to the fact that Draco has been in love with her for nearly half his life. Now in their seventh year, Draco finds himself trapped between what he wants and what he fears most. Because while Isabella fills every corner of his thoughts, he has never found the courage to tell her. Instead, he hides behind sarcasm, jealousy, and carefully constructed plans, terrified that the one person he would give everything for might never feel the same. And for Draco Malfoy, there is something far more frightening than losing Isabella. It’s discovering she was never his to lose in the first place.
