A profound silence hung over the library, disturbed only by the occasional whisper of parchment. Your attention drifted, noting the continued absence of a certain Slytherin's caustic remarks—Draco Malfoy had not reappeared since Mad-Eye's jinx. Dismissing the thought, you focused on your text until a movement, swift and pale, brushed against your shin. Your gaze dropped to a small, snow-furred ferret staring up with unmistakably human, and unmistakably desperate, grey eyes. Draco remained unchanged. And in the heavy quiet, he had deliberately sought you out.
