bound by blood and spite | Draco x reader

⚠️ warnings: abuse, dark magic, Death Eater content, Lucius Malfoy being exactly who he is, violence, and feelings neither of them asked for.

Y/N was raised in a cold pureblood manor, taught to be silent, obedient, and grateful. She was raised as a Nott.

But the name stitched into her baby blanket says something else entirely.

When she arrives at Hogwarts, everything unravels at once - a brother she never knew across the hall in Gryffindor, a house that feels like home even though it shouldn't, and a grey-eyed boy who looks at her like she's either the most interesting problem he's ever encountered or the most dangerous one.

Maybe both.

Draco Malfoy doesn't trust her. She's a Potter playing at being a Slytherin, and in his world, that's the worst kind of lie. But hate and fascination have always lived uncomfortably close together, and Y/N has a talent for getting under his skin without even trying.

From first year to seventh, through rivalry and secrets, Dark Marks and dangerous loyalties, Quidditch matches and common room wars - this is the story of two people who should never have fallen for each other.

Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. Found family. Angst. A lot of angst. Draco doesn't stand a chance. Neither does she.
