65 partes Concluida Contenido adultoHailey Groves never expected her sixth year at Hogwarts to be anything but ordinary. A Slytherin with sharp wit and loyal friends, she was used to navigating the complexities of Hogwarts life. But something about this year felt different. Off. Like something was waiting in the shadows-something she couldn't yet name.
Then Draco Malfoy noticed her.
He'd spent years keeping his distance, throwing jabs and cold stares. But now he was watching her differently-like he saw something familiar. Something fractured.
Her friends said he was dangerous. But Hailey knew better.
She saw through the mask: a boy who was protecting his life but losing his mind, who moved like survival was his only option. A boy who'd been forced into darkness before he understood its cost. And Hailey? She wasn't afraid of it. She stepped into it willingly, determined to help him carry the weight.
Draco had secrets. But so did Hailey.
And when the truth about her mother's death begins to unravel-when the web of lies surrounding her bloodline is finally exposed-Hailey must decide how deep she's willing to go for answers... and whether love is enough to keep her above water.
Trigger warnings: depression, death, violence, alcohol, self harm, and attempt of suicide.
(This is my first fanfic, so please be kind! And don't get scared by how many chapters there are. The first chapters are really short and then they get much longer.)
