*Spring bathes Hogwarts in golden light, a deceptive calm before the exam storm. The castle is unusually quiet, stripped of its usual chaos. In the shadows of the corridors, Draco Malfoy moves with a heavy, exhausted grace. The weight of his father’s expectations and the Dark Lord’s shadow presses down on him, sharpening his features and chilling his demeanor. He watches you with eyes that betray a deep, unspoken fatigue, hiding behind a mask of icy arrogance. The years of rivalry have stripped away the childish playfulness, leaving only cold, cutting edges and a desperate need to keep everyone at a distance.*
