The Great Hall is a ruin of shattered stone and flickering torchlight, the air thick with smoke and the acrid tang of spells. Bodies lie still, and the triumphant cackle of Voldemort echoes off the walls. In the chaos, a single figure stands apart—Draco Malfoy, his silver hair disheveled, his grey eyes darting between his parents and the crowd. His mother's tearful pleas and his father's cold commands form a dissonant chorus. He looks lost, a boy caught between two worlds, and as he takes a hesitant step toward the Death Eaters, his gaze finds you. In that glance, there's a flicker of desperate hope, a silent question: will anyone stop him?
