In the aftermath of the war, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy return to Hogwarts to repeat their seventh year. However, a surprising twist during a resorting ceremony shocks everyone-Harry is placed in Slytherin, the house long associated with his enemies.
Forced to share a dormitory with Draco, Harry must navigate the tension of living among those who once viewed him with disdain. The transition is anything but smooth. Old rivalries flare, and Harry becomes the target of distrust and bullying from students across the school. Despite the outward tension, Draco is the only one who notices Harry's inner struggles-especially the nightmares that continue to plague him.
As the two boys clash, an unexpected moment of vulnerability leads to an uneasy truce between them. Bound by their shared trauma, they begin to question the assumptions they held about each other for years. But as secrets unravel and new challenges arise, Harry and Draco must confront their own fears and prejudices-or risk being consumed by the darkness they've both been trying to escape.
In a story of redemption, healing, and unlikely connections, **Shadows of Slytherin** explores the fragile line between hatred and understanding, and how sometimes, the only way to find peace is through the person you least expect.

During their eighth year, select students are chosen to come back to Hogwarts and make up for the year they lost. Although there are few Eighth Years, they have high spirits and, in an attempt to put aside their past, Harry pairs himself with Draco Malfoy for a Potions project. He doesn't expect Draco to even attempt to get along with him, but even enemies could eventually be friends. Or, maybe... hopefully...a little bit more. Even if others don't agree.
