In their sixth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy and Y/N have perfected the art of loathing each other. So when Professor Flitwick pairs them together for an advanced cognitive-linking charm—an obscure N.E.W.T.-level spell meant to briefly synchronize magical intent—no one is surprised when it goes wrong. Because he can hear her, and she can hear his thoughts as clear as day.
t Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy has a reputation for brilliance—and cruelty. Y/N Hufflepuff has a reputation for kindness. They rarely speak. When they do, he makes sure she regrets it. But sunshine doesn’t disappear just because someone insists on standing in the shade. And some wars aren’t loud—they’re fought slowly, in classrooms, in corridors, in the quiet refusal to become bitter.
It’s the Hogwarts war, and every pair of eyes on the battlefield is glazed with the reflection of death. You hold the only cure for them, the last thing that will kill Voldemort. The only price being the only one you’ve ever loved. The choice is yours, and one death for a thousand lives seems practical. But you know he would let the world burn for you, the question is…will you?
The war may be over, but its scars still bleed. Hogwarts stands silent, Voldemort is dead, and yet darkness continues to roam the streets of London and Hogsmeade. With Aurors overwhelmed and Death Eaters tightening their grip, survival has become a daily battle. Trained in secrecy and hardened by loss, Y/N returns from the shadows as a hunter, prepared to sacrifice everything for the cause. Her mission is clear. Her first target unmistakable. Draco Malfoy.
In the modern wizarding world, Y/N is a composed and sharp Durmstrang student who spends a rare day in Hogsmeade with her close friend Pansy Parkinson from Slytherin. They take elegant photos around the village and post them on Instagram stories, casually tagging each other. After Y/N returns to the colder, stricter atmosphere of Durmstrang, she receives a message from Pansy: Draco Malfoy saw the story and asked for Y/N’s number.
What begins as a legal defense quickly turns into a relentless investigation, forcing them into late nights, dangerous discoveries, old wounds, and feelings neither of them ever truly left behind. Because some cases are never just about the law. And some people are impossible to leave in the past.
Y/N has spent years convincing herself that every ending is easier if she’s the one who walks away. Draco Malfoy has spent just as long believing attachment is nothing more than a weakness. Neither expects a detention, a handful of accidental conversations, and the halls of Hogwarts to unravel everything they thought they knew about love, loyalty, and the difference between leaving and letting go.
It’s Y/N’s fifth year in the wizarding world—they once spent their days with a pale-haired boy, a constant companion and their closest friend. But at the age of seven, everything changed. Their family relocated abroad, cutting all ties, and the boy they cherished became nothing more than a distant memory—But everything changed when they had to attend Hogwarts for their last years…
