42 parts Ongoing MaturePost-war, eighth year. Hogwarts has reopened, but nothing feels the same - especially for Joy Potter, Harry's twin sister, a war-scarred fighter known for her sharp tongue and quiet grief. Tortured at Malfoy Manor alongside Hermione, Joy bears the word blood traitor carved into her skin - and deeper wounds carved into her mind.
While Harry and Ron begin Auror training, Joy returns to a rebuilt Hogwarts with Ginny. But her old world fractures further when she's sorted into the same shared eighth-year dorm as the Slytherins who once tormented her - including Draco Malfoy, the boy who mocked her for years... and never looked away.
Except Draco isn't the same. Neither is she.
As dark academia days stretch on - full of smoke breaks, forbidden parties, storm-wrapped nights, and truth-or-dare confessions - enemies become allies, secrets unravel, and something dangerous stirs between Joy and Draco that neither of them can explain, deny, or resist.
But when the nightmares return, and the past claws its way back through scars and silence, will love be enough to heal - or will it only tear open what war never truly closed?
