Draco Malfoy has always ruled Slytherin with sharp words and an untouchable reputation, but everyone knows there’s one person who stands beside him as an equal, never behind him. His childhood best friend, Y/N, is the true Slytherin princess. Beautiful enough to turn heads the moment she enters a room, cunning enough to outmaneuver anyone who mistakes her looks for weakness, and bold enough to challenge even Draco himself. Students either dream of earning her attention or pray they never earn her wrath. Their effortless partnership makes them Hogwarts’ most intimidating duo, with whispers of engagement rumors and political alliances following them through the halls. Draco insists she’s simply his best friend, but every lingering glance from another boy chips away at his composure. As sixth year unfolds and more people begin pursuing the girl everyone wants but few dare approach, including Potter, Draco’s biggest rival. He becomes obsessive, yearning for her attention. Draco is forced to confront a truth he’s buried for years: losing her to someone else is the only thing that has ever truly terrified him.
