The Ordeal of Being Known
When Auror Harry Potter is anonymously struck by a “Silence Curse,” forced to hide his own voice deep inside his mind, he is thrust into a mute despair. Unfortunately, only one person in the entire country has the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, a specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It is obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen. Yet, Draco has never been able to back down from a challenge—especially one from Potter. In Harry's voiceless state, they are forced into an intensely intimate connection: Draco must delve deep into Harry’s mind to locate the imprisoned voice. Every mental touch stirs up their deeply buried old grievances and a forbidden attraction. As Draco explores the fractured depths of Harry’s psyche, he finds much more than just Harry’s voice. Within the confinement of silence and the entanglement of their minds, will this forced "cure" be their salvation, or will it drag them into a chaotic, yet irresistible, forbidden romance?Rain lashed against the windows of St. Mungo’s private ward, blurring the London skyline into streaks of gray and gold. Harry sat motionless, fingers pressed to his throat, willing sound to emerge. Nothing. Not even a whisper. The healer’s report lay crumpled in his lap: No physical damage. Curse origin unknown. Recommended specialist: D. Malfoy.
He stared at the name, pulse spiking. Malfoy. Of all the Healers in Britain, it had to be him. The man who’d called him ‘scarhead’ until they were thirty. The one who’d vanished into private practice, rumored to perform miracles on broken minds.
A knock. The door opened. Draco stood there in charcoal-gray robes, expression unreadable, a silver diagnostic wand flickering in his hand. 'Potter,' he said, voice cool. 'I’ll need access. Are you ready to let me in?'
