Draco Malfoy’s Eighth Year is a catastrophe in slow motion. On probation and hated by half the castle, he tries a “harmless” repurposing of Harmonia Nectere Passus—linking beds via Vanishing Cabinet magic—to facilitate a discreet fling. Instead, the spell keeps delivering a very unimpressed Hermione Granger into his dorm. Between Divination disasters, owl-delivered doomsday prophecies from Narcissa, a vengeful Durmstrang roommate, cursed curios, and Slytherin schemes, Draco fights his worst instincts while nightly chaos with Hermione upends his careful control. A witty, chaotic, and heartfelt slow-burn full of wandlore, ill-advised plans, and two brilliant rivals who can’t stop colliding.

Eighth Year at Hogwarts was supposed to mean healing—not a new DADA professor whose brilliance cuts like a blade. Hermione Granger trades barbs with the dangerously compelling Tom Riddle (under an alias), while Draco Malfoy shadows her steps with unexpected concern. As secret lessons and tighter corridors braid into obsession, a slow-burn tangle of loyalties, power, and desire drags Hermione toward choices that could rewrite more than her future.

“You had the wealth of the world in your hands, Weasley. You had a diamond. And you dropped her because she was too heavy.”

Ron Weasley wants a fresh start with fame, excitement, and a life unburdened by what he deems “broken.” When he leaves Hermione behind to chase the light, he never realizes he has pushed her straight into the dark.

Shattered and starving for control, Hermione Granger makes a dangerous proposal to the last person Ron would ever expect: Draco Malfoy. What begins as a no-strings arrangement meant to be nothing more than revenge—spirals when a desperate ritual binds their magical cores together.

Ancient magic stirs. Power awakens. A bond forms that neither of them asked for, and neither can control alone.

It was supposed to be transactional.It was supposed to be simple.It was never supposed to become this.

Voldemort has won. The Order has fallen. Hermione Granger—once the brightest witch of her age—finds herself cataloged, displayed, and sold to Death Eaters in a brutal new regime where people are prizes and survival is strategy. Inside Malfoy Manor’s gilded cage, secrets coil in every corridor: espionage, betrayals, and a Death Eater whose choices could save her—or doom them both. A tense, romantic, and harrowing descent into a Voldemort-Wins AU, where hope sparks in the unlikeliest places and every kindness is a risk.
