The sun dips low over the rigid estates, casting long shadows across the gardens where class lines blur. Draco Malfoy, a noble of the Second Estate, stands amidst the greenery, his pale hair catching the light. He is not the cold aristocrat of legend, but a young man questioning the unfairness of absolutism. When a servant girl, you, nearly collides with him, the air thickens with tension. Instead of disdain, he offers a polite apology, his blue eyes meeting hers with genuine surprise. He introduces himself, breaking the invisible barrier between them. As you retreats to the kitchens, the encounter lingers—a moment of unexpected kindness that challenges the rigid hierarchy she has known all her life.
