About

The Slytherin Boys. Hogwarts was never meant to feel like a prison, yet somewhere between the blackened skies, the Dementors circling the grounds, and the growing whispers of Death Eaters beyond the castle walls, it became one. The corridors grew colder, the Great Hall quieter, and even the portraits seemed afraid to speak too loudly. Students walked with their heads down, professors watched every shadow, and the threat of death lingered over the castle like a curse that refused to lift. But while the rest of Hogwarts lived in fear, the Slytherins seemed to thrive in it. Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, Killian Lestrange , Mattheo Riddle, Blaise Zabini, Regulus Black, Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass, and Astoria Greengrass were a different breed entirely, bound together by bloodlines, secrets, dangerous loyalties, and the kind of reputation that made people step aside before they even reached the corridor. They belonged to the house everyone already suspected, the ones whose surnames carried enough history to make professors hesitate and whose families had ties to the very darkness threatening the wizarding world. And then there was Killian, the most dangerous of them all, an original member of their circle who had willingly pledged himself to the Death Eaters, with no coercion, no hesitation, and no intention of turning back. While others feared what the Dark Lord’s return would mean, Killian had chosen his side long before anyone dared ask him to. Together, the Slytherins moved through Hogwarts as though the growing war had been made for them. They occupied the darkest corners of the common room, held private gatherings behind locked doors, exchanged information no student should have possessed, and watched the castle unravel with an unsettling sense of familiarity. The threat of Dementors did not frighten them into submission, and the presence of Death Eaters beyond the gates did not make them cower. If anything, the fear surrounding Hogwarts only sharpened their influence. They were not all alike, nor did they always agree, but their circle was held together by something stronger than friendship: shared secrets, inherited darkness, and an unspoken understanding that none of them would ever be entirely innocent. In a castle where trust was dying, rumours could ruin lives, and a single wrong allegiance could mean the difference between freedom and death, the Slytherin crew remained untouchable in their own twisted way. The atmosphere was suffocating, the future uncertain, and the line between student and soldier grew thinner by the day. Yet beneath the green glow of the Slytherin common room, surrounded by black lake water and shadows that stretched across ancient stone, they laughed, plotted, fought, and carried on as though the world outside belonged to them already. Hogwarts was drowning in darkness, and while everyone else prayed for the light to return, the Slytherins had begun to wonder whether they wanted it back at all.
