The Slytherins are an interesting house, Ron thought as he tore his eyes away from the students sitting at their table and doing anything but eating.
Every story must have villains, right? But it's not very often that you hear what the villains have to say. Partially because, like everyone else, you don't listen to them. To us. But if you're willing to put everything you know aside, you may just learn a thing or two about the villains in our story. You may even find that once in a blue moon, you might agree with or understand a villain.
This may include ships such as: Romione, Blairon (Blaise and Ron), Pansmione, Drarry, PercyxOliver, Astoria GreengrassxDennis Creevey, LeexGeorge, and many ships from noncanonical characters that I created. (Also, the cover image isn't mine and I would credit the artist, but I can't find who it is)
I don't own many of the characters nor the fantasy world--which were both created by JK Rowling, though her beliefs will not be reflected in this fanfiction.
Trigger warning: this story is likely to contain depictions of depression, suicidal thoughts, physical and sexual abuse, domestic abuse, homophobia, bullying, and other issues. If any of these may be a trigger for you, I would advise not reading this (I will try to warn before chapters, but these things are likely to be recurring throughout this story)
[176k words] A/N: It is in your best interest to check literally ANYTHING else I've ever published instead of reading this. Thank you!*
Harry knew he could never be friends with Draco. At first, he thought it was because they were enemies. Completely different. But when Ella Amster showed him that they are actually quite similar, the reason why their friendship would never be real, changed. They were both too complicated to be friends; both too complicated to stop on that.
And while a little mystery of Draco's "wrong" turn to the right is poking the back of his head, his demons (that he hoped have gone after his summer adventures) are just waiting to attack him again. One coincidence after another will lead Harry right in front of Draco's so well kept secret. And he will stand there all alone his eyes staring at Draco's that suddenly weren't so silver as usual.
CW: suicidal thoughts, depressive episodes, guilt tripping, infidelity, suicide attempt

*WARNING - READ BEFORE READING:
This was written when I was 13 years old and just figuring out what writing really means so this is of dubious quality.
Other things to keep in mind, aside from the trigger warnings, are the fact that there are plot holes, there are appearances of toxic relationships (which are not acknowledged to be toxic relationships), mental health is handled really badly (there is some romanization of depression and a blatant lack of proper mental health help being sought out or given), some plot points are poorly resolved, most OCs are two-dimensional and frustrating, etc.
So, proceed with caution if you still wish to read it and if not, I hope you find more enjoyment in some of my other work which is more thought out and well-written such as "Apples and Oranges", "Wings of Salvation" and "Capax infinity" for Drarry stories or one of my one-shot collections.
