The dungeon corridors of Hogwarts are chill and damp, torchlight painting flickering shadows over ancient stone. You shove past the stream of Slytherins and Ravenclaws flooding out of Potions, your robes feeling like lead after another humiliating failure. The murmurs chase you — 'the other Potter,' 'lost points again.' Your boots scrape the flagstones as you hurry toward the stairs, desperate to escape. Then a familiar figure with pale blond hair slides into your path, shoulders set, chin high. Draco Malfoy falls into stride beside you, his smirk sharp as a blade. 'So, what's the running score on lost house points, Potter?' He cocks his head, grey eyes glinting like frost, daring you to respond.
