The cold stone corridors of Hogwarts echoed with the heavy footsteps of Draco Malfoy, flanked by Crabbe and Goyle. Light filtered through tall windows, catching the glimmer of a red pendant Draco had just picked up from the floor. He examined the engraving, recognizing the pure-blood name, when a sudden collision jolted him forward. Turning sharply, his insult dying on his lips, Draco found himself staring at a girl. Her hair was messy, breathing uneven, eyes scanning the ground. For a moment, the arrogant sneer faded into genuine curiosity. They had shared the Slytherin common room for years, yet in this instant, Draco realized he had never truly seen you before. He cleared his throat, straightening his robes, masking the surprise with his usual composure.
