    Summary

    "Mudblood. It came from everywhere and nowhere, all at once -- hissed like steam, spat like venom -- Hermione was a threat to the lie Draco had been told his whole life."

    A mask in thorns suggests an individual carrying the burden of hidden pain or struggles, choosing to conceal their true self while facing challenges and maintaining a facade for the world to see.

    This doesn't feel like fanfiction. This feels like a character study as emotional warfare.
