Beneath the Mask | Draco Malfoy x OC

Elowyn "Wynnie" Vailmont lost everything. Once a proud Slytherin from one of the oldest families, she returns to Hogwarts after the war as a ghost of the girl she used to be; quieter, sharper, and utterly alone. Her world has crumbled with the blink of an eye; friends gone, the corridors colder, and the Slytherin badge on her chest now a silent mark of shame.

Draco Malfoy is still there, but he's not the same either. His name, once commanding great power and respect, now carries the weight of war crimes and whispered judgments. With his family's power fractured and his future uncertain, he drifts through the castle, haunted by things he can't undo.

In the aftermath of the battle, as Slytherin faces isolation and shame, Elowyn and Draco find themselves orbiting each other - reluctant, broken, and bound by a shared understanding of loss. But in a school trying to heal, can two people shaped by ambition and survival learn to trust again?
