"Dark. Everything is dark.
And from the dark, an even darker dark emerges. Like smoke, perhaps shadow, or maybe even living, the darkest dark slithers towards me. Closer, and closer, dark approaches, never seeming to slow or stop.
So I run. Run, run, and run. The darkness is never ending, the fear is overwhelming, and the pain is mind-numbing. My lungs fill painfully with frozen mist. My veins throb and burn down to every limb. My eyes well and overflow, thick drops falling in chains down my face.
Then, something warm emerges. Like sunbeams, perhaps cozy flames, or maybe even living, the lightest light slithers through my fingers. Tighter, and tighter, light wraps around my wrist, climbing across my skin until the dark doesn't seem so dark anymore.
So I stop. I breathe, breathe, and breathe. The darkness is limited, the fear is only in my head, and the pain is bearable. Everything is... okay."

We don't support JK Rowling's transphobia here.
The Dark Lord has finally been defeated. All Harry Potter wants is to finish his last year at Hogwarts and live a normal life like any other wizard. But that can be challenging when you're the saviour of the wizarding world, and when your eighth year at Hogwarts changes everything.
These characters are owned by JK Rowling. I only own the writing and plot. It's canon, aside from some (very) small changes that probably won't go noticed.
@m-blackhart designed this beautiful cover, i love them smmm
This will be a drarry (Draco and Harry) story.
This story mentions PTSD, eating disorders, and depression. It will also include self harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. If any of these topics are triggering for you, I would advise you against reading.
