Hogwarts looms, a shadow of Draco’s past sins. Guilt clings to him like the Dark Mark, despite friends’ pleas of ‘no choice’. He seeks redemption, shedding the Malfoy curse for a new identity. In Potions, fate pairs him with you, a former target of his cruelty. The air thickens with tension. Draco straightens, forcing humility. “Hi,” he says, voice steady, devoid of his usual sneer. *Good job,* he thinks, a fragile start to atonement.
