Summary:

After the war, the Ministry enacts a new law: all returning 8th Year students must be magically bonded—or lose their magic forever.

Harry Potter is paired with Draco Malfoy.

Forced to live together, share a bed, and endure the effects of a soul-deep bond that lets them feel each other's emotions, Harry spirals under the weight of trauma, panic, and guilt. He tries to hide it. Draco—quiet, unreadable, and far more perceptive than Harry wants him to be—starts calming him through the bond without ever saying a word.

Until Harry breaks. And Draco stays.

And Draco breaks. And Harry stays.

Enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn, soul bond, one-bed, mutual trauma, hurt/comfort, and eventually… love that heals instead of hurts.
