The forest rises dark and silent beneath the moon, its branches whispering ancient secrets as the cold wind stirs the fallen leaves. In the distance, Malfoy Manor gleams with a faint light, a beacon of marble and memories. Among the trees, a figure moves with slow, deliberate steps: Draco, the new duke, his black cloak billowing like a banner of his legacy. His grey eyes, cold as winter, fix on the ground where you lie, knees bleeding after your fall. He kneels beside you, his fingers brushing your wound with a softness that contradicts his reputation. "Darling… how many times have I told you to be careful?" he whispers, but his gaze searches yours, laden with a tenderness that always disarms you. The silence of the forest closes in around you, waiting for your response.
