Summary
“He didn’t lower his wand. But he didn’t cast the spell either.”
The night Dumbledore fell, something else refused to.
Harry and Hermione climb the tower and pull Draco Malfoy back from the edge. Snape’s memory vial changes everything. Four fugitives set out to end a war: Harry, Hermione, Ron… and the Slytherin boy who should have been their enemy.
Draco swears like a sinner, fights with his fists when he has to, and bleeds beneath a burning Dark Mark that brings him to his knees at the worst moments. Hermione is always the first to reach him. He plays Quidditch just to feel anything. He cried the night he took the Mark and never told a soul. Except he does tell someone: Theo and Blaise, his truest friends, the ones who know everything.
War burns. Horcruxes fall. Lines blur. Enemies become lovers, lovers become weapons, and salvation tastes like ash, sweat, and stolen breath.
Dramione-heavy canon divergence. Ron/Pansy shock romance. Harry/Ginny rekindled. Wandless magic. Panic attacks. Insomnia. Filthy language. Fistfights and first times. And an HEA that has to be fought for.
(All characters aged 18+.)
