Draco + Hermione: A Slytherin in Pieces (What If) | Dramione

Description:

What if Draco never made it to the Astronomy Tower? In this Dramione AU inspired by Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy is already breaking under the task the Dark Lord carved into his veins. The cursed necklace, the poisoned wine – every failed attempt leaves him more shattered. On the night of Slughorn’s party, Hermione flees Cormac and the glittering hall… and finds Draco collapsed in a dark niche, barely holding himself together. She refuses to walk away this time. — 🎵 “A Slytherin in Pieces” (Duet Him/Her) They put a shadow on your shoulder, carved a mission in your veins, Said, “End the man who runs these halls,” in whispers in his wine. To slip a death into a bottle, hide a curse inside its chains, Then watch them miss their mark and only flood you with the stains. The portraits feign they’re sleeping, but the stone can feel you break, Every corridor you cross vibrates with every choice you make. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war beneath his skin, There’s a Slytherin in pieces, breaking where the dark begins. Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t lock yourself away, I’ll be standing in the doorway, begging you to stay. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war he cannot win— Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t let the darkness in. She left the room of laughing glass and Slughorn’s sugared wine, Cormac’s hand too close, too loud, a smile she’d not designed. Her heels beat out a restless clock along the empty floor, Her party dress felt like a mask she couldn’t wear no more. Around a bend of quiet stone, the music fell away, She found him in a shadowed niche where lanterns couldn’t stay. His shoulders hunched, his knuckles white against the window frame, A prince of ice with haunted eyes and no one left to blame. She said his name like half a spell, not soft and not untrue, And every wall he’d built of pride shook as the truth broke through. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war beneath his skin, There’s a Slytherin in pieces, breaking where the dark begins. Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t lock yourself away, I’ll be standing in the doorway, begging you to stay. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war he cannot win— Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t let the darkness in. He led her through the dust and racks to wood that hummed with war, A cabinet breathing battle lines and ghosts behind its door. His hand was shaking on the grain, the future on a hinge, Until the spell became a break instead of a revenge. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war beneath his skin, There’s a Slytherin in pieces, breaking where the dark begins. Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t lock yourself away, We’ll be standing in the wreckage, choosing not to obey. There’s a Slytherin in pieces and a war he will not win— Don’t vanish in the cabinet, don’t let the darkness in. In a quiet, empty hallway where the borrowed music dies, Two footsteps leave the party and walk toward other skies. — About / Disclaimer This is a fan-made video (fanfiction/fan edit) created with AI-generated visuals and an original song for entertainment purposes only.
