During the Battle of Hogwarts, a once-unbreakable Slytherin friend group fractures under the weight of war. As Death Eaters close in, Mattheo Riddle betrays the group in a desperate attempt to save them, offering Draco Malfoy up as the price. Forced to confront his Dark Mark, his family’s threats, and the people he loves most, Draco must choose between survival and loyalty. When long-buried feelings between you and Draco finally surface in the middle of the chaos, his decision changes everything—turning friends into enemies, love into a liability, and one choice into a wound that will follow them long after the war ends.
