Wizarding World: Harry Potter
Harry doesn't remember the first punch; only the smell of burnt chicken and the way the floor never quite caught him. When Petunia finally fights back, it's already too late to leave unscarred. Bloodied and barely conscious, Harry is dragged from the only home he's ever known and into the arms of a world that has never felt less safe. But Hogwarts is still standing, and magic still lingers like a thread he hasn't yet let go of. Draco Malfoy notices something different this year. Harry's quieter. Tired. Bruised in ways even magic can't fix. And somehow, against logic, history, and pride, Draco begins to care.

Voldemort's forces have learned a terrible truth. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are together their combined magical signatures burn like a beacon. Staying united no longer offers strength. It paints a target on their backs. So the Golden Trio must separate if they hope to survive long enough to destroy the Horcruxes. While Harry and Ron search for the scattered Horcruxes independently, Hermione finds herself alone on the outskirts of a forgotten village in rural Britain burying herself in research in the desperate hope of uncovering where the next one might be waiting. But even isolation cannot keep the war at bay. One late evening, she stumbles upon a body. One that is crumpled, pale, and bleeding into the leaves. Draco Malfoy. The boy who chose darkness. The boy she hates. As Hermione drags him into shelter, questions coil like smoke. How did he end up here? Why is he alone? And more dangerously... Why does she care if he dies or not? With Death Eaters hunting them both and the boundaries between enemy and exile blurring, Hermione must decide which will destroy her first: The war tearing their world apart... or the unexpected allegiance beginning to take shape in the quiet of the woods. ·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:·
