"Did you know?" I ask Draco, unable to see him clearly through the tears.
I watch his eyes close, squeezing out tears of his own. We stand an arms length apart, but I can't find it inside myself to comfort him. He doesn't answer.
"Did you know about what happened to me?" I ask him again, more forcefully this time.
He reaches for me, but I step away. His eyes plead with me, for what I am unsure. Before he can speak, I turn away. The corridor ahead is dark, but the truth of what Draco has done is darker.

Lexi arrived late to Hogwarts... Five years late, to be specific. Jumping headfirst into the most difficult year yet is a breeze for Lexi, even easier is capturing the heart of the King of Snakes himself, Draco Malfoy. But when shadows from a past she is unfamiliar with come calling, her story takes a turn into the darkness. While her life as she knows it disintegrates, Lexi clings to Draco, who is fighting the same battle alongside her. Will they prevail, or will their destinies pull them even further into nothing?
