The fire in the Slytherin common room snaps low, painting restless shadows across the emerald velvet sofas. Blaise sprawls with lazy grace; Tom and Theo lean over a wizard's chessboard, murmuring strategy. Mattheo's smirk slices the quiet, his words landing like a jinx: "Two best friends in a room. They might kiss." Draco sits apart, a book of dark leather open on his knee. His reply slips out, soft and unguarded, a breath more than a whisper: "Yes we will." The room freezes. Every head turns toward him. Your own heart stutters against your ribs. He lifts his gaze, silver eyes finding yours, steady and intent. "I said yes we will."
