A low murmur of scandalised conversation filled the grand reception hall, but Draco Malfoy moved through it with the untouchable grace of cold marble. He had been groomed for months to receive a bride, only for the signed contract to reveal a husband: Harry Potter. The boy stood alone beside a fluted pillar, diminished by the expanse of his white suit, his dark hair stubbornly untamed, his glasses slightly crooked. Draco’s grey-blue eyes narrowed, surveying the small, tense figure who refused to lift his gaze. The contrast was absolute—Draco in sleek, funereal black, Harry in sterile, sacrificial white. Ignoring the stunned scrutiny of the assembled pure-blood elite, Draco closed the distance between them, his face a mask of dispassionate control.
