The Hogwarts Express hummed a low, metallic lullaby as the compartment door slid open with a decisive hiss. Draco Malfoy filled the doorway, his platinum hair catching the dim corridor light, his grey eyes sharp and assessing.

The air grew dense, charged, as he leaned against the closed door, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You're the one who looks like you're hiding," he murmured, his voice dropping to a low, challenging whisper. "Maybe I'm the only one who can keep you on your toes."
