Sixth year at Hogwarts is defined by silence. Draco Malfoy is drowning in secrets he cannot share, and the person he once loved is learning how to live without his voice. Y/N survives stolen glances, unfinished conversations, and a love that never ended—only withdrew. Surrounded by Slytherins who watch, provoke, protect, and push, they circle each other through corridors heavy with things left unsaid, knowing that one truth could save them—or ruin everything.
