To the rest of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is still the same arrogant pureblood prince he has always been. But you see the truth. You notice the gray skin under his eyes, the way his robes hang loose on his shoulders, and the tremor in his hands during Potions. While your friends suspect him of plotting something malicious, your analytical mind and quiet empathy tell you a different story: he is a boy being eaten alive from the inside out by a dark secret.When a late-night panic attack forces your paths to collide in the Restricted Section, his brittle armor cracks completely. What starts as a tense, silent understanding slowly evolves into a dangerous alliance. In a world fracturing under the pressure of an oncoming war, a simple, freezing touch of his hand becomes your shared anchor—and the most dangerous secret you've ever kept.
