Draco Malfoy and Y/N fall in love at Hogwarts, where he is certain about a shared future and she is terrified of how real it feels. As they grow into adulthood, her fear makes her pull away while he keeps holding on, not understanding what changed. They slowly drift apart without a clear ending, and years later Draco is engaged to Astoria Greengrass while Y/N is left with memories, recordings, and messages of a life that almost happened.
