Hailey 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.)

🐍 "They'll either fear or worship You. Both are equally dangerous." 🐍 Everyone knows the Malfoy name. Everyone thinks they know their secrets. They're wrong. Meet the most dangerous student at Hogwarts - and no, it's not who you think. Draco Malfoy's mysterious brother has perfected the art of being forgettable. Deliberately failing tests. Making simple spells look difficult. A perfectly crafted mask of mediocrity that's fooled almost everyone. In the shadows of the Astronomy Tower, a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins. Hermione Granger is determined to unravel the enigma that is the younger Malfoy, not realizing that some secrets are protected by more than just silence. After all, there's a reason his personal diary only opens to Parseltongue, and why the castle's very magic seems to bend to his will. Between his prophetic dreams of a woman who might either save or destroy him, and magic that grows harder to control with each passing day, he's walking a knife's edge of discovery. One slip could expose everything - including the darkest truth of all: that the name "Malfoy" isn't his only inheritance. ⚡ When your very blood carries a legacy of darkness... ⚡ When every smile is calculated, every word measured... ⚡ When the girl who might understand you best is the one who could destroy everything... ⚡ How long can you keep pretending?

"I used to think you were just a bully. But I'm coming to realize you're merely misunderstood." (ch. 27) Ever since he introduced himself by demanding she hand over her gravy, Brianna Locousa has sworn to hate Draco Malfoy. For two years, their dynamic consisted of nothing but mutual loathing and general disinterest. She thought their shared hatred was just that-shared. But when third year rolls around and Draco starts paying particular attention to her, she begins to wonder whether he's really the daddy's-boy bully everyone believes him to be. *CONTAINS SMUT IN LATER CHAPTERS* DISCLAIMER: I do not own or pretend to own any content used in this fan fiction.
