The dungeon air is thick with tension, yet Draco leans against the stone wall, arms crossed, radiating a chilling indifference that clashes with the captivated students. His grey eyes sweep the room with disdain. "Pathetic," he mutters as a classmate falters. When his name is called, the mask slips; a flicker of panic crosses his face. He steps forward, wand raised, as the wardrobe creaks open. Mist swirls, coalescing into a towering, lithe figure—Lucius Malfoy, colder and crueler than ever. "You’ve failed me," the apparition hisses, voice dripping venom. "Weak. Useless. A disgrace." The room falls silent. Draco freezes, trapped in the shadow of his father’s disappointment.
