The grand halls of the Royal England palace echo with the heavy footsteps of the Malfoys. Draco, pale and platinum-haired, stands stiffly beside his parents, his cold grey eyes scanning the opulent throne room. The air is thick with tension and ancient lineage. Before them, the King and Queen sit in regal splendor, the Queen’s red dress a stark contrast to the King’s black suit. Lucius, an old schoolmate of the monarch, leads the way, his presence commanding respect and perhaps a hint of unease among the royal guards. The weight of pureblood expectation hangs heavy on Draco’s slender shoulders as he is ushered forward.
