*Will Update Regularly* After the war, Hogwarts feels... off. Corridors hesitate. Rooms seem to listen. The castle behaves less like a place and more like a presence-responsive, temperamental, quietly observant.
Harry Potter notices because he always does. He's learned to read silences, to stay with discomfort, to sense when something is asking to be seen rather than solved.
Draco Malfoy notices because he can't help it. He lives inside restraint-precision, control, the careful management of what must not show.
What follows is a slow, psychological burn: academic inquiry turning personal, observation edging toward intimacy, magic responding not to spells but to presence. Power shifts quietly. Trust accrues in increments. The castle watches.
Resonance Theory is a post-war Hogwarts story about attention, proximity, and the kind of magic that doesn't announce itself. This is not a story about fixing, redeeming, or defeating anything; it's about what happens when two people occupy the same space long enough for something buried to begin breathing again-and what it costs to witness that without turning away.
