    Summary

    Draco sleeps alone in the dormitory as the only Slytherin of his year to return. He's learned that he was wrong. How could he not when he's been told repeatedly so from everyone he's come in contact with since the the war ended? However, as he returns for his eighth year at Hogwarts he still doesn't understand what it means to be in the right. He needs to get through the year and he wants to have friends again. He never expected Luna Lovegood to persistently hang out with him, nor did he ever imagine he'd have to try to tutor Harry Potter in potions. What he did see coming was the hate, fear, and vitriol his return would instill in his fellow students. He didn't think anyone had known how far they would take it.

    OR:

    Draco has to deal with robes too short, Potter's dog being too happy, and consistent attempts on his life all while trying to learn how he's supposed to fit into a world where everyone is suddenly better than him. A world in which Luna Lovegood is the only person who doesn't seem bothered by his presence. With her help he does everything he can to not be eaten alive by guilt or fade away into a depressive, lonely isolation.

    Summary

    Deep in the Room of Lost Things, or perhaps lost in an abandoned manor, or maybe locked away in a Gringotts Vault, there is a mirror. Mounted on a bedchamber wall, or shattered at the bottom of the Astronomy Tower, the morror reflects the countless possibilities.

    One touch can send you to worlds unknown, realities eerily similar yet not quite right. Worlds of dreams, or nightmares. Worlds of immense love, or cold glares. You might find somewhere to belong, or find yourself on the run.

    Beware, for if the mirror breaks, you might lose your one way home.

    Death comes for everyone, no matter what reality you run to.


    Harry and Draco orbit each other in every reality. In some, they are rivals in school, enemies in war, and then acquaintances in adulthood. In others, they are sworn enemies, or childhood friends, or lovers, or complete strangers.

    A reflection only shows the surface. You have to dive into the mercury and silver to find the truth hidden within. But when those facets of reality cross? Reality itself can begin to unravel. And what do you do when everything comes crashing down?

    Breathe. Set your intentions.

    And then let reality feel your wrath.
