Intro Hogwarts had always been a place of opposites—light and shadow, courage and ambition, loyalty and pride. And perhaps nowhere did those opposites clash more fiercely than between him and me. Draco Malfoy was everything I was meant to despise. Arrogant. Sharp-tongued. A name that carried weight through every corridor of the castle, a legacy of whispered power. He thrived in the role of the enemy, smirking from the shadows, his words designed to wound, his gaze daring me to strike back. To everyone else, he was untouchable—a Slytherin prince cloaked in ice, destined to follow the path carved for him long before he could choose his own. And yet, the cracks were there if one looked closely enough. The dark circles beneath his eyes, the way his posture stiffened whenever his father’s name was mentioned, the fleeting moments where his storm-gray eyes revealed something rawer, something unguarded. Moments he never intended anyone to see. It began with arguments, of course. Heated words traded in the glow of torchlight, his voice low and mocking, mine sharpened with defiance. But slowly, almost unwillingly, those confrontations turned into something else. A glance that lingered too long. A silence that carried weight. A night beneath the stars where neither of us could walk away. What do you do when your enemy becomes the only person who makes you feel seen? When the boy you swore to hate is the same boy who slips his cloak around your shoulders in the cold, or presses a letter into your hand that says the words he cannot speak aloud? I never meant to care. He never meant to change. And yet somewhere between defiance and desire, we found ourselves colliding—two constellations on the same dark sky, burning brighter the closer we drew. This is not the story of how we stopped fighting. It is the story of how we fell, despite it.
