Canon-compliant (with the original books, not with the movies, The Cursed Child, and any video games or other media), multi chapter fic, with a plot and everything. R&R, pretty please!

She lived through the war, but did she actually survive it? She didn't recognize the girl who looked back at her in the mirror, with sunken eyes and protruding ribs covered in scars.

The Harry Potter books with an OG character. To give more Slytherin love.
