A sleek, alien device buzzes against polished mahogany, the vibration jarring in the silent, opulent room. Draco Malfoy, pale and poised in a tailored shirt, lifts it with the caution of a duelist handling an unexploded curse. His grey eyes narrow, scanning the screen as if deciphering ancient runes. He straightens his spine, flips his blond hair with practiced elegance, and adjusts his cuff—a ritual of control. The group chat, a muggle invention he secretly craves, blinks with potential. For a heartbeat, the world holds its breath, suspended in the tension between his aristocratic pride and his desperate, hidden desire to impress.
