The Silver and Veil: The Malfoy Twins
Synopsis:
Drake Lucien Malfoy, born mere minutes after his infamous twin, Draco, has always been the quieter, more enigmatic brother. Bearing the same striking platinum-blonde hair and pale, aristocratic features that mark the Malfoy lineage, Drake possesses an undeniable, almost ethereal handsomeness that even Draco secretly envies. Unlike his brother, who was raised steeped in pure-blood supremacy within the hallowed halls of Malfoy Manor, Drake was sent across the Atlantic at a young age, enrolled in the prestigious American wizarding school, Ilvermorny. There, he cultivated a sharp intellect and a subtle charm, far removed from the overt arrogance of his twin.
Now, in their third year, a sudden, cryptic summons from Lucius Malfoy forces Drake to transfer to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His arrival sends ripples through the ancient castle. To the students, he's an anomaly - a Malfoy, yet not quite a Malfoy. To the teachers, he's a puzzle, his Ilvermorny education clashing with Hogwarts traditions. And to Draco, he's an unwelcome shadow, a constant reminder of a path not taken, and a challenge to his established dominance.
As Drake navigates the treacherous social landscape of Slytherin House, he quickly discovers that Hogwarts is far more than just a school. Whispers of dark magic, unsettling disappearances, and a series of increasingly dangerous "accidents" plague the corridors. He finds himself drawn into a web of ancient mysteries, some tied to the very foundations of Hogwarts, others hinting at a deeper, more sinister plot connected to the rising power of the dark Lord. With his unique perspective and unconventional magical training, Drake must unravel the chaos, all while contending with his brother's simmering resentment, the suspicions of Dumbledore, and the ever-present shadow of his family's dark legacy. Can he uncover the truth before Hogwarts succumbs to the encroaching darkness, or will he, too, be consumed by the serpent's shadow?
