Enemies. Liars. Partners. Something is unraveling between them—and it's not just the war.
Fifth year at Hogwarts is already a nightmare. The Ministry calls him a liar, Umbridge patrols the halls in pink tyranny, and Voldemort haunts Harry's dreams. But something else is shifting—something sharp and strange and silent. It starts with a glance across a dungeon, a reluctant partnership, an insult that cuts a little too close. Draco Malfoy is supposed to be the enemy. So why does Harry feel like he's seeing him for the first time?
As tensions rise and lines blur, Harry and Draco find themselves circling each other through detentions, secrets, and moments they can't explain. Because sometimes, the quietest war is the one you fight with yourself.
