Imagine Harry Potter had a younger sister that he never knew about. The characters are not mine and I don't follow the story exactly. This is, I guess you could call it, a re-imagining. Cover by kenval214

No one knows who she is. Except him. And he wishes he didn't. When a mysterious transfer student named Sylvaine Nox arrives at Hogwarts for her seventh year, the entire school is thrown into quiet chaos. Cold, calculating, and powerful beyond reason, she's unlike any witch they've seen before. But Draco Malfoy knows exactly who she is. She's the Dark Lord's daughter. A secret so dangerous it was buried even from his most loyal followers, except Draco. He saw her once as a child. And now, here she is, walking the halls of a post-war Hogwarts like a shadow reborn. Sylvaine is not here to make friends. She's not here for redemption. She's here to watch, to judge, and to ensure her father's legacy is never forgotten. And Draco? He wants to hate her. He should hate her. But hate has always been a breath away from obsession.

My dear draco, I never planned to fall for you. You were never meant to be the place I felt safest. And yet - somewhere between the fights, the silence, the nights that broke us open - you became home. I see you when you pretend to be cruel. I see the weight you carry when you think no one is looking. And I love you not despite the darkness in you, but because I recognize it. You challenge me. You frighten me. You make me feel more alive than I ever meant to be. If loving you is a mistake, then it is one I choose - again and again. Because even in the chaos, even when the world burns around us, I know this much: I would find you in every lifetime. I would fight you in every one of them. And I would still fall - every time. - Alma
