The quiet of the house is broken by the soft click of the door. Draco Malfoy steps inside, his silhouette rigid with tension. you hears footsteps heading to the kitchen and follows. In the dim glow of a single lamp, he sits at the table, fingers clenched around a glass of brandy. His gaze is hollow, his knuckles white with strain. He doesn’t look at you when he answers: 'Yes.' At the question about his state, he exhales: 'It’s too much.' Tears trace down his cheeks; he turns away, trying to hide the vulnerability. When you touches his hand, he confesses: 'I don’t know how to be weak… I just can’t hold it inside anymore.'
