Harry, swollen from the Stinging Hex, is pushed forward by the Snatchers, Lucius Malfoy, and Draco, who is eager to hand over him to Voldemort. Draco hesitates, knowing the truth but feeling the weight of the decision. Harry's vision is blurred, and his heart pounds as he faces Draco, who hesitates to turn him in. Draco's expression is confusing, and Harry struggles to understand the situation. Draco's voice strained, and he steps back, feeling the weight of his father's gaze and the looming shadow of Voldemort.
Lucius, growing more impatient, calls for Draco to give Harry to the Dark Lord. Harry feels the crushing weight of the moment and locks eyes with Draco, pleading silently to "no." Draco's breath hitsches, and Harry's sadness cuts through him like a knife, sending a tremor through the cold wall he's built around himself.
Harry swallows hard, fighting back the torrent of emotions threatening his decision. The Snatchers, Draco, and Harry are trapped in a twisted war, and Draco's silence is a reminder of the dangers of not knowing the truth.
When a letter is posted on the information board outside the great hall, stating that the anonymous writer is gay, Harry Potter starts to feel like he's not alone. He writes back to the anonymous boy, but falling in love certainly wasn't the plan. And why is Hermione suddenly hanging out with Slytherins? Most of all, when did Draco Malfoy get so damn attractive?
PSA: this is in a world where Harry defeated voldemort as a baby and he never came back, so Harry is still the boy who lived, but with less responsibility.
