GhostInTheMargins
They were never meant to fall in love.
Once, before the war painted their names on opposite sides, they were only children at Hogwarts. He was Lucius Malfoy, heir to wealth, ambition, and secrets older than the castle itself. She was the girl who refused to bow, the only one who dared meet his pride with fire of her own.
Together, they forged a bond no one expected-rivalry, friendship, and something more dangerous growing in the shadows. From late-night talks in the common room to the thrill of stolen dances, every moment drew them closer.
But innocence cannot survive the serpent's coil. Promises of power. Arranged futures. The lure of a master whose mark would one day stain Lucius's skin. Each choice carved the path toward betrayal, even as their hearts whispered of what could have been.
This is the story of how it all began.
The laughter before the lies. The kisses before the chains.
The boy who became a Death Eater. The girl sworn to hunt him.
Before there was hunting-there was falling.
