In a dark, alternate universe where Voldemort has won the war but did not survive, Draco Malfoy finds himself trapped between duty and desire. As one of the Dark Lord's most trusted Death Eaters, Draco is cold, calculating, and ruthless-until he's faced with the one person who makes him question everything: Hermione Granger.
After being captured and sold to Lucius Malfoy, Hermione's life becomes a nightmare. But when Draco steps in to protect her, she finds herself torn between hatred for what the Malfoys have done to her and an undeniable pull toward the younger Malfoy. As they navigate a world of dark magic, betrayal, and forbidden love, their bond deepens into something neither of them expected.
When a powerful pureblood ritual threatens to tear them apart forever, Draco must make a choice that could change the fate of the wizarding world. Will he follow his heart and defy his family's legacy, or will he lose Hermione forever?
This story is one of passion, darkness, and redemption-where love might just be the most dangerous magic of all.

"Draco, it was your choice not to. Don't worry, everything will soon get better," Hermione said, putting her hand on top of Draco's, looking at him with concern.
"It won't!" Malfoy demanded weakly, "it never will! You don't understand!"
Hermione sighed.
"You're right, I don't understand," She said looking down, defeated. "And as much as I hate not knowing what to do in order to help you, I promise I will always be by your side.
"But you have to allow me, Malfoy."
