The Dark Between Us | Draco x OC - A Harry Potter War AU

The war was supposed to be about Harry Potter.

Instead, it began with a girl no one knew existed.

As Maisie begins her sixth year at Hogwarts, she sets out on a quiet mission: to uncover the truth about the father she has never known. But the answers she finds begin to unravel her life faster than she can understand them.

When the wizarding war explodes across Britain, Maisie is pulled into a world far darker than she ever imagined. Caught in the blurred lines between loyalty and survival, she finds herself trapped inside Voldemort's court - where secrets, blood magic, and power are the only things that matter.

Outside the walls of Malfoy Manor, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Bella race against time to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes and bring their friend home. But every step deeper into the war demands a price, and the story of heroes begins to feel like a story of casualties.

Bella struggles with the promise her brother Theo made to protect her, questioning what loyalty truly costs when the people you love are standing on opposite sides of the war.

Meanwhile, surrounded by Death Eaters and dark rituals, Maisie must learn how to survive in a world built on cruelty and control. The only person who understands what it takes to stay alive there is Draco Malfoy - a boy already drowning in the choices he's been forced to make.

As trust fractures, loyalties blur, and the line between survival and betrayal begins to disappear, one question remains:

When the war is over... who will they become?

Because they are no longer just students at Hogwarts.

I do not own any characters except for my original character.

The plot loosely follows that of the Harry Potter franchise but a lot is changed to accommodate my character.

They are soldiers now.
