Two weeks at Hogwarts. Enough time to feel the silence. Slytherin isn't just a house; it's a system. In Transfiguration, you sits at the edge, invisible. Her gaze drifts across the room until it catches at a window seat. Draco Malfoy. Leaned back, arms crossed, an island of cool indifference. Pansy Parkinson leans in, whispers, seeks closeness. Draco barely reacts. It's just habit. you watches a moment too long. Then she turns her eyes away. But Professor McGonagall cuts through the quiet: 'Miss Parkinson, switch seats with our new student.' A low murmur. Every stare burns into you. Draco slowly lifts his head.
