When Draco Malfoy returned to Hogwarts to complete his studies, body and mind alike slashed with battle scars, he had never expected the increased inter-house competition, let alone the stronger than ever hatred for Slytherin house. Torn between correcting misguided bullies from other houses and reaching lessons unhexed, Draco continues his miserable existence in near invisible silence.
However, when his teachers refuse to help him confront the problems, it is Harry Potter who steps in to help. Will their combined efforts finally achieve the house unity Draco craves, or will their efforts crumble along with Draco's mental health?
