Wolfthorne and the Half Blood Prince

The war is approaching, and Aedan Wolfthorne knows time is running out.

While the wizarding world prepares for conflict, Aedan becomes increasingly frustrated with those around him. Hermione's feelings for Ron, Ron's inability to understand the people who care about him, and the growing dangers others refuse to acknowledge leave Aedan feeling more isolated than ever.

He finds himself caught between protecting his friends and wanting to leave them behind entirely. Even helping Hermione navigate her feelings for Ron becomes another reminder of how distant he feels from the people he once fought beside.

As Draco Malfoy's actions grow more suspicious and the threat around Hogwarts becomes impossible to ignore, Aedan begins to believe that relying on others is a weakness he can no longer afford.

Because the closer the war comes...

the easier it becomes for Aedan to stop seeing himself as a friend.

And start seeing himself as the monster that lurks under your bed.
