Hogwarts, 1996–1997. The Second Wizarding War is approaching the castle, and the Malfoy surname no longer guarantees safety.
Draco Malfoy is nineteen: an adult sixth-year Slytherin, confident in public and increasingly consumed by the dangerous secret he must hide.
You attend Hogwarts as an adult student. Five different introductions can bring you into his orbit—through tension, a shared punishment, a secret, a winter ball, or unfinished romantic history.
