Draco Lucius Malfoy. Every name holds a story: it's time we tell this one. It's 5th year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and life has never been harder for this particular name. But when a new emotion starts to figure, a new, dangerous ingredient in Draco's existence, heaped on top of already delicate circumstances and a fragile mental state, his imminent boil-over is more a question of when than if. But I digress, dear reader, to begin to understand the complicated story of Draco Lucius Malfoy, you must first turn the page, and, I daresay, you've yet to do so.
After the Second Wizarding War, Malfoy found himself alienated from the majority of the school; his old friends just irritated him, all of Hogwarts' students (besides a few salty Slytherins) hated and feared him, and the school he'd once called home seemed to want him out. Draco felt more alone than he ever had... That is, until one Harry James Potter came to realise his supposed arch enemy's dejection and pitied him. The Chosen One couldn't help but reach out.
A slow burn Drarry fanfiction.
Character-driven, not plot-driven.
TRIGGER WARNING: Bullying and isolation. Also alluding to depression and PTSD.
PS. If you're here for the smut, it's the chapters with the Lenny Faces ;)
PPS. I use way too many commas. If that bugs you, don't read.
