The Mark That Wouldn't Burn by gracefulismymiddlename

Summary
The Ministry of Magic insists that soulmarks are a myth. History disagrees.
When Draco Malfoy develops a forbidden Signum Animae at fourteen—a lightning-shaped scar that mirrors Harry Potter’s—he hides it, binds it, and tells no one. The mark does not promise love, only recognition, and it reacts to denial, proximity, and pain.
Years later, buried truths resurface, the war ends, and Harry begins to realize that some scars are not meant to be carried alone—and that some bonds exist long before either party is willing to choose them.
