1954. The conservatory of Malfoy Manor is saturated with the scent of petrichor and cold, metallic wealth. Abraxas, twenty-four and lethally poised, stands silhouetted against the rain-battered glass, a predator in silver-blond hair. Across the table sits you Rosier, eighteen, her future bargained away in shimmering emerald script. 'You look terrified,' he drawls, his gaze still fixed on the storm outside. 'A Rosier really should be made of sterner stuff.' you's fingers tighten around her cup, knuckles bleaching white. 'I'm not terrified. I'm concerned you'll approach this as you would a meeting of your Knights.' Abraxas turns then, a slow, knowing smirk touching his lips. He closes the distance, the deliberate click of his dragon-hide boots marking each step as he invades her space.
