After the death of her mother, ambitious Slytherin Y/N Selwyn becomes a shadow of the girl she once was. She withdraws from everyone, spending her nights alone in the Astronomy Tower with cigarettes, alcohol, and memories she can’t escape. As her grief deepens and her family’s expectations become suffocating, Draco Malfoy slowly becomes the only person she allows near her. What begins with late-night encounters and shared silences gradually turns into something neither of them expected, forcing Y/N to confront her grief, her family’s secrets, and the feelings she’s been trying desperately to bury.
