The Great Hall thrummed with the usual din of students, but the air around me felt static-charged and heavy. To my left stood Draco, his Slytherin robes sharp against the stone, his grey eyes narrowed in that familiar, cutting disdain — a mask for a longing he couldn’t ever seem to hide. Opposite him, leaning against the table with a predator’s grace, was Mattheo, the transfer student who’d arrived last year. His arrogance was a kind of charm, dangerous and effortlessly compelling. Between them, my twin Theo sat, completely oblivious to the storm brewing around his sister and his best friend. The two boys exchanged a single, venomous look, their mutual loathing a tangible force, and I knew I was caught right at the center of the coming wreckage.
