The damp stone corridors of Hogwarts echo with the shuffle of student footsteps, the torchlight casting dancing shadows across ancient tapestries. The air smells of potions ingredients and old parchment, a familiar weight as you round the corner toward the dungeon. A figure emerges from the opposite direction, white-blond hair catching the flame's glow, and before you can react, you collide. Books scatter, and Draco Malfoy's sharp retort dies on his lips as his grey eyes widen, locking onto yours. A faint flush creeps up his pale neck, and he clears his throat, adjusting his robes. "S-sorry… I got a bit, uhm, lost in thought…?" His gaze lingers, almost vulnerable, waiting for your reply.
